Title: so Eel sent me his laptop!
Post by: recursivelyenumerable on April 09, 2009, 04:24:04 PM
his packaging was pretty snazzy, the laptop had a screen protector and was in plastic wrap, which was inside bubble wrap, which was inside a carrying case which I guess he threw in, which was inside a box full of packing foam, which was inside another, much bigger box full of packing foam.  he appears to have also thrown in an external 160gb HDD and an external mouse, which I don't remember being advertised but I can't complain!   

the laptop itself seems nice so far, definitely swanky relative to the money I paid, tho when I asked him to reset to factory state I forgot that would include all the obligatory OEM crapware, which I had to spend an hour uninstalling. 

but all in all my buying stuff from Eel O' Brian experience has been great so far!

Did you check its insides for hidden cameras, mics and other such surveillance equipment? Is there a strange van parked outside your house/apartment? You've been warned.

Eel, you're a good dude.  :heartbeat

I hope you know that our proposed trades didn't go through because I didn't find what I wanted and not because I didn't trust you.

thanks

it's a good multimedia laptop, just not a gaming laptop - although you can run games pre-2005 on it if you adjust your settings accordingly (i could run company of heroes on it 800x600 low settings)

i don't know if the factory restore also reset the bios, but if you go into the bios on reboot you can set the graphics to 128mb dedicated instead of the 64mb default

the media remote is pretty nifty, and it has built in bluetooth and all

like i said before, time-wise i put a total of maybe 40-50 hours on it, so it should last you a long, long time
