Got me a new laptop battery finally <diva> Now i can actually move my laptop around without it needing to be plugged in. Hooray.
 
if i'd known you could have had mine (if yours was a acer) as mines always plugged in if i'm out and about i use my phone or android tablet

<laugh> Dell I'm afraid! I'm so happy to actually have it working again though ha. The charger was ****ed too, so if I moved ever so slightly it'd just turn itself off.

The next thing I've gotta get fixed is the inside of the charger port. That's a bit ****ed too, bent and such. Have to bend it back into place with a pen sometimes just to get the charger in.

Have a look at Origin PC. The original makers of Alienware before Dell bought them out and turned Alienware into a pile of crap.

Very expensive! Dell's are alright, stories about them ****ing up a lot though. An Alienware would be sweet. Play my 360 a lot though. Getting the new one for xmas and I'll probably get a new laptop for my birthday off the parents.
 
<laugh> at that picture.

On the OS debate, everybody knows Ubuntu destroys the other two, and is free <whistle>.

I'm a loyal Apple fan, not to the point that I'd get a new iPhone every time they bring one out though <laugh>>
 
had a look at the origin site Skalpel some cracking ones on there will have to revise my budget though did the build your own option and it came to £2500 +... whoops the problem now is how can i con the wife into getting one

Haha, damn I didn't realise it went that high sorry. If you have a little bit of know how it's not too hard to build your own PC, it can save you a ****load of money. Could use a website like MicroDirect to buy the parts.

cheers again i'm sure i could find someone to do it for me (hint hint) was looking for a laptop but as i want a gaming one the best route is a desktop

Haha, there's a pretty good thread on here somewhere with somebody asking advice about building one themselves, could be handy if you go down that route. And yeh, if youre after gaming your best bet is definitely desktop rather than laptop, you'll pay more cash for a less able and less reliable system if you go for a gaming laptop.
