UK BOINC Team Forum

Looking to buy this laptop from Dabs.com

What are you going to use it for? As a desktop and main computer to replace your current Sempron? Just for when you're out and about? surfing UBT forum in bed?

Just as a secondary computer really, my one now would probally stay as my main living room one, then laptop for out & about (can do studying then without always having to be at home), forum from bed & of course BOINC

Also going to upgrade the memory from 1Gb to 2Gb, can get a stick from HP for approx £68 (laptop compatible)

Looks like it has everything you need, my big mistake with my first laptop was buying the first 16" Vaio, it has a metal lid and weighs a ton so by the time you carried it anywhere you were too tired to use it

Its something that should keep me going for a good few years on, never does anything energetic apart from BOINC, don't really ever add new software on to my computers once I got what I need.

So long as I upgrade the memory thats all that needs doing really, can't have 2 cores and only 1Gb of memory

Going to be a bit longer yet, fell out with my bank today, and told the counter wench to shut down my account immediately, so 20 mins later I walked out with it shut down

If you need somewhere to keep all your cash I can give you my account details and you could store it there for now  :twisted:

Its OK thanks for the kind offer of holding my money  Got a appointment to open one next Friday, I may not even get a laptop at this moment in time, decided I don't really need one as yet, plus have better things to buy at the moment.

thats the problem with me I impulse buy a lot of the times, its just too easy for me to spend money on the net
