    13.3" laptop with longest battery life?

    I'm looking for a 13.3" inch laptop with the longest battery life- preferably 7 hours+ (10 hr rated?). The reason for the screen size is I'm using this heavily for school and I don't want to lug around something huge on top of 5 textbooks. Preferably somewhere that ships to Canada (so...

    iphone 4, convince me to get one

    Hmm.. so seems like people are in favor of Android. I'll look into that. I'm coming from a 4-year-old phone, so still trying to somewhat understand what's out there.

    iphone 4, convince me to get one

    Do it :) I wish the monthly plans weren't so expensive though. That's the only thing holding me back.

    Those with Asus mobo, how long do u stay on your post screen?

    I have like what.. 3-4 seconds? That's with the original 775 p5Q. It's the Windows "Starting Windows" screen that takes the longest for me, which is roughly ~10-11 seconds, to hit the login screen. I run 2 drives in RAID 0, so I guess the RAID controller is the only extra thing I need to...

    Need Help With Pricing on something....

    Personally, as a shopper Ide be attracted to purchasing an used product at no more than roughly 70% of it's new price. I wouldn't pay 80-90%. Think about it from the buyer's perspective: You're buying something that has been used before rather than getting the warm fuzzy feeling from opening a...

    Laptop Advice Needed

    Well, the main question in general I'm just trying to get answered is: Is it a good idea to buy outdated technology (SU7300 laptop) for $730 USD?

    The laptop is pretty beat-up and old, and too bulky for me. It feels like another one of my large textbooks.

    Thank you. Too bad they don't ship to Canada.. well I guess newegg.ca might have it, but they'll obviously rip me off :rolleyes: regardless of the CAD-> USD exchange rate ATM. THe one I linked to is rated at 12 hours, but realisticly I've been hearing it's 8-9. The 5V CPU enables this (vs...
