So the other day I ordered a new PC, which I should be getting here with a few weeks. I'm pretty pumped about, it's a huge improvement over my current Inspiron. Here's the specs:
Model: Dell XPS 15
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Processor: 2nd Generation Intel Core i7-2620M 2.70 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0, up to 3.40 GHz
Memory: 6GB RAM
Screen: 15.6" HD LCD
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M 1GB graphics with Optimus
Not the absolute best, but that is a damn fine machine in my book. I can't wait! ;)
The graphics card and I do believe the processor is better than mine. Otherwise I beat you at monitor size. 23" baby!
You have a giant CENSORED, I mean monitor.
The monitor is definetely it's largest drawback. It's the same size as the one I have now, so I'll be used to it. I didn't have the spare cash to upgrade anymore. I spent what I could on the performance enhancing components, but after that, I was getting scared to spend anymore.
nice man.
it beats my laptop...
2.5gh Core 2 Duo (64 bit but I'm running 32 OS)
4Gb Ram
GeForce 8600m GT 512MB
My current labtop sucks.
Dell Inspiron 1545
2.0 GHz Pentium Dual-Core
2GB RAM
Windows Vista Home Basic 32bit
Don't laugh. That's what I have been dealing with.
That sounds like a fine machine. Sounds like you made good choices in which components to upgrade. Congrats on the purchase!
But mine is still better.
Congratulations, Zer0. You have joined the 1337 PC ranks with me, G_G, WhiteRose, Blizz, and many others. :naughty:

Damn you.
* seethes with jealousy *I looked into Alienware first, but I found that I could get comparable performance for about half the price, so I went with that. I have already been saving money for a few months now for it, and didn't want to wait any longer. :wacko:
I got a new laptop about half a year ago.
AMD Turion II Dual Core M520 2.3 GHz 64 bit
4 GB RAM
HDD 500 GB
ATI Radeon 5670 HD
and I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I think my display is 17", can't remember (resolution 1366x768).
I think 1366x768 is the 15", because that's the same as mine is now.
Mine is 17" and is 1600x900.
I'll get a Macbook Pro 15" soon. That's all I need. <3
I don't really have any experience with Macs. There is too much software out there exclusive to Windows so I doubt I'll ever make the switch. Maybe someday if I see a good deal on a Mac, I'll pick it up as a second computer, though.
My audio engineering school provides me with it so I don't have much of a choice, but from what I've got they're alot more reliable in general.
I also add this sentence predicting that there will be hater comments now to stop exactly that from happening.
Not from me on this one. ;)
I'm no fanboy about Windows, its just my personal preference, and I understand people getting used to and liking other OS's more.
I have heard the same things about Mac, and have heard they have a good customer satisfaction. It's still not enough for me to make the switch, though.

Typical Mac user, always trying to provoke the other side ;)

Actually I did that so people are all like "Oh, he's trying to provoke me. I'm not gonna do it now.". So, yes, your reaction. ;)
You attention whore, you.
Its now mine, all mine....
yay for Zer0!, now begins the year long process of making the computer yours. installing programs left and right for the first two weeks and about one every other week there after for the next year! oh the pounding you inter net is a bout to get. I piety the cables and others on your internet connection.
lol, yeah that about somes it up so far. I actually saved some time by downloading and saving a gang of installers to my external HD. Makes it go a little faster.
:) I keep the installers for my commonly installed programs on my external too.
Same here xD
Hopefully you shall have no more problems with SVN now.
It usually takes me a day to set up a new OS installation for me with everything I need and use and all my data. xD
There is nothing like getting a new computer be it a laptop or desktop :D
I just got a 24'' monitor for myself a few days ago after I got my employer to pay for my internet connection ^_^
