There aren't many things you need a decent machine for at home :
DV video editing 3D Rendering Games Big compiles
are the things I can think of.
Seems Taco has a laptop and doesn't know what to use it for. It's got a 6800 in it and games are the only thing that he knows will make it hit 100% CPU.
Do you think "Hey I got a new laptop" is front page news ?
> I put it through it's paces, using it as my primary gaming machine for a month. And I write about it below.
> most of my gaming is sadly done on a Mac. I have no Mac capable to truly running most modern video games.
> my newest Windows capable machine is 3 years old, and a joke by today's standards.
Where's the actual review ?
All you said was "this laptop is big and here are some features"

A failed test of Mercedes' new radar braking system that resulted in a three-car pile-up last week has been exposed as a sham for the benefit of television that went horribly wrong. Mercedes engineers knew the radar technology wouldn't work in the steel warehouse the demo was supposed to take place in but they were bullied into "simulating" the test by AutoBild journalist, Michael Specht, according to reports.
my ef-gf used to moan like buggery when I used to tell her "please don't try and chat, I'm propelling 1 1/2 tonnes of steel at 70mph, it requires my full attention"
perhaps that explains where the ex part came from =)

You should really consider the second source approach.
Make sure the web app your company runs on works in at least 2 browsers, on 2 OSes. Make sure the server side can run on disparate hardware using disparate OSes.
Ideally it should run on which install CD you find in the box first.

Almost as useful as "this tastes terrible, taste it, go on."
You mean to say that I shouldn't spend $100s based on the opinions of anonymous and untrusted (to me) sources.
I tell you, I'm shocked.
You'll be telling me next that the editorial in trade newspapers is somehow related to the advertising.
