i got the fucking laptop deal of the century

[Van Cruncheon]

http://reviews.cnet.com/Sony_VAIO_TXN15P_W_Core_Solo_1_2_GHz_1_GB_RAM_80_GB_HDD/4505-3121_7-32103794.html

1.2 GHz Core Solo proc, 1.5 GB RAM. 80 GB hard drive. 1366x768 11.1" widescreen. 2.8 lbs. Normal price? $2300 new (with .5 GB less RAM).

I paid $1000 cash for it from a (cool) yuppie coworker who was unloading it from her collection. a few scuffs on the hood, but it's less than 6 months old and barely used. runs vista ultimate like a dream.

FUCK YEAH. my wife immediately squealed when she saw it and claimed it as her own. i am the master of the computer deal.

me:
you:

looks nice

[MrAngryFace]

I wish I could get that one, I like my Compaq but still

[Van Cruncheon]

see if janet will trade. vegas odds? 500:1

[demi]

Killer laptop. I was stoked to score that bundle of X360 games I posted in Gaming section.

I sent you your money order, btw.

[Van Cruncheon]

okay, i'll mail out yer monitor this weekend.

[Van Cruncheon]

btw, this laptop gets 7 hours of battery life on a medium power plan, and *9* on a conservative one. OMFG.

[MrAngryFace]

I wouldnt trade, the Compaq am huge total. Its a great laptop but the usability of that Sony is nuts.

[Van Cruncheon]

yeah, the compaq will crush it in benchmarks easily. the best game this little tot of a 'top will run is diablo 2. and chuzzle. oh, chuzzle.

[Vizzys]

amazing battery life..

what cell battery does it have?

[Van Cruncheon]

Aside from its tiny case, the Sony VAIO VGN-TXN15P/W's most remarkable feature is its battery life. In our drain tests, the Sony VAIO VGN-TXN15P/W lasted a mind-blowing (and record-setting) 9 hours, 42 minutes. That's 1 hour, 27 minutes longer than the previous battery life record-holder, the Lenovo ThinkPad X60s, and hours longer than other ultraportables. The most likely explanation for this longevity lies in the VAIO's cutting-edge screen technology; the VGN-TXN15P/W's LED backlights are much more energy-efficient than the fluorescent lamps traditionally found in notebooks. We have to commend Sony for achieving the Holy Grail of battery life: a full day's work on a single charge.

my wife

 

[Himu]

Didn't you get a new laptop a few months ago?

[Melissa]

My laptop is at the Geek Squad right now because it has some bad ram

[Van Cruncheon]

himu: i bought a new laptop about three months ago -- an hp turion64x2 HL-56 with 2gb ram and a 256 MB geforce 7400 go. that's the MAN LAPTOP.

melissa: what does that laptop have to do with this one? also, i been married for almost ten years now, hagling.

[whiteACID]

Didn't you just get a laptop recently


if this has been mentioned previously, my bad. I haven't read any of the posts after the op.

[Van Cruncheon]

i only bought this one because i really couldn't pass a deal like that up.

[demi]

That's what I'm talking about. You don't pass these kinds of deals up. Trade it for some grade A white.

[Melissa]

i been married for almost ten years now, hagling.

There's someone for everyone, I guess.  Please post a photo of you and your wife before calling me a hagling again, thanks!

[Van Cruncheon]

no, i'll continue to call you names and post pics in the pic thread when it suits me and my agenda. really, now!

[Melissa]

no, i'll continue to call you names and post pics in the pic thread when it suits me and my agenda. really, now!

Are you two breeding, to top it off?

[Van Cruncheon]

i have a daughter. she is extremely adorable and i'm hoping not especially prone to making goofy web videogaming shows with potential serial killers. there are pics on gaf. do your homework!

[Melissa]

You've got to get over the GameLife jabs.  They don't phase me, they just remind me that you and I have different ideas of what a fun project is.

I'm permabanned from GAF. I will browse the EB pic thread one of these days.

[Van Cruncheon]

give me incentive to get over the gamelife jabs. personally, i think there's a lot more humor to mine there.

[Scurvy Stan]

11.1" screen?!? Fuck that.

[Van Cruncheon]

the purpose of the laptop is its light weight and small form factor. it's great for travel. it's not a gaming rig.

[Scurvy Stan]

SMALL SCREEN!

[TVC15]

SMALL SCREEN!

The screen on it is REALLY nice.  If he didn't buy the machine, I was going to.  I've been eyeing ultra-portabled, and this would've scratched my itch at half the cost and performed better.

[Scurvy Stan]

I'll take your word for it. Me, I'm patiently waiting for 20.1" laptop to come out.

[Flannel Boy]

Isn't that overkill?

[demi]

CROW POSTED PICS OF HIS HOT WIFE!? WHERE

[Flannel Boy]

CROW POSTED PICS OF HIS HOT WIFE!? WHERE

I think he was talking about his kid.

If not...
WHERE, seconded

[Van Cruncheon]

i posted pictures of our wedding some time ago -- like 3? 4? years ago -- back when i took this game of internet oneupsmanship more seriously. they are flattering to her but very much not to me. i look like i have a giant stick up my ass. which i might've. wedding pictures suck. if i'm in a mood to be photoshopped into oblivion, i'll dredge them up.

[Shogmaster]

Don't tell me, your yuppy coworker was making the "switch" right? Gotta love it! Yes, let me benefit from your shallow computing decisions! I wish I had more switchers where I work to take advantage of like that. Unfortunately, they are already life long Mac users (art school).

[Van Cruncheon]

no, she wasn't, considering my place du emploi. she and her husband were just doing some spring cleaning after a bout of seasonal hardware collectoritis.

[Shogmaster]

Holy crap do they have one hell of collectoritis! After 6 months she unloads it for less than half?!? You lucky SOB....

[Van Cruncheon]

she and her husband are multi-millionaires. when they aren't traveling, they're apparently packing their 6,000 sq. ft. kirkland home with electronics. i do indeed consider myself exceptionally lucky!

[Shogmaster]

I just got your ref to where you work. I guess millionaires are quite common in that place. When are you getting your first mil D?

[Prost]

i been married for almost ten years now, hagling.

There's someone for everyone, I guess.  Please post a photo of you and your wife before calling me a hagling again, thanks!

Lee! I'm so happy for you! Where are you going to have the wedding?

And yeah, we moved at the end of last year. We're in Arizona now Steven and I called and spoke to Alberto about 2-3 weeks ago and I emailed Manuel recently. We keep in touch a bit, but it's difficult living so far away. I miss them all a lot. I might go back to Atlanta to visit this Summer though.

PM me some pics of you two! 

[xnikki118x]

I think it's sweet that you asked her parents.

[Catz]

Isn't it proper Japanese tradition to ask the parents?

Did you bukake the parents?  I would have.  I'll be sending you panties from vending machines for the bachelor's party!  It'll be fun, am I invited?   

Oh and on topic, dude, a core solo? GAY! Where's the duo baby?
