Dec 28 22:51:24 <Frogger> i_c-Y you should see the laptop my sister bought her boyfriend for christmas
Dec 28 22:51:45 <i_c-Y> "-|
Dec 28 22:51:51 <~Frogger> on a full battery you get 1hr and 10 minutes
Dec 28 22:52:00 <i_c-Y> haha
Dec 28 22:52:04 <~Frogger> it has a vista rating of 2.5
Dec 28 22:52:11 <i_c-Y> my sister got more cash for xmas than i spent on my laptop
Dec 28 22:52:13 <~Frogger> more so
Dec 28 22:52:25 <~Frogger> she signed up to some stupid scheme where she cant alter the OS
Dec 28 22:52:41 <~Frogger> or so she tried to explain
Dec 28 22:52:48 <~Frogger> i tried to get her to buy an EEEPC
Dec 28 22:53:01 <i_c-Y> woh made the laptop
Dec 28 22:53:09 <~Frogger> EI systems
Dec 28 22:53:26 <i_c-Y> never heard of them
Dec 28 22:53:35 <~Frogger> ditto
Dec 28 22:54:23 <~Frogger> she bought it because "he[herbf] wanted a small screen on it[screen in question is 13"]"
Dec 28 22:54:52 <~Frogger> she wouldnt buy an EEEPC because despite it being £100+ cheaper
Dec 28 22:55:01 <~Frogger> and only having a 7 or so inch screen
Dec 28 22:55:01 <i_c-Y> o.o
Dec 28 22:55:16 <~Frogger> she read somewhere you cant install stuff
Dec 28 22:55:44 <~Frogger> despite the showers of mods and stuff people are doing to the poor eeepc she wasnt convinced
Dec 28 22:55:49 <~Frogger> and went with this thing
Dec 28 22:58:33 <i_c-Y> haha
Dec 28 23:00:56 <~Frogger> all he wanted it for is browsing the net and some basic word document stuff
Dec 28 23:01:09 <~Frogger> me and my dad have a bet how long before its stolen out of his van
Dec 28 23:02:09 <i_c-Y> :-/
Dec 28 23:02:39 <~Frogger> he bought a fancy set of drills for his job
Dec 28 23:02:49 <~Frogger> although his job provided them
Dec 28 23:02:53 <~Frogger> he used his anyway
Dec 28 23:02:57 <~Frogger> left them in the van
Dec 28 23:02:59 <~Frogger> nicked
Dec 28 23:03:09 <i_c-Y> -_-
Dec 28 23:03:10 <i_c-Y> wow
Dec 28 23:03:30 <i_c-Y> it seems like you can only get the EI systems PC's in 3 stores
Dec 28 23:03:48 <~Frogger> wait
Dec 28 23:03:49 <~Frogger> wait
Dec 28 23:03:51 <~Frogger> let me guess
Dec 28 23:03:53 <~Frogger> pcworld
Dec 28 23:03:55 <~Frogger> dixons
Dec 28 23:03:56 <~Frogger> and currys
Dec 28 23:03:59 <i_c-Y> curry's, dixons and pcworld
Dec 28 23:04:00 <i_c-Y> yep
Dec 28 23:04:05 <~Frogger> what do i win
Dec 28 23:04:05 <~Frogger> :D
Dec 28 23:04:08 <~Frogger> all the same group
Dec 28 23:04:26 <i_c-Y> haha i only have heard of pcworld
Dec 28 23:04:32 <Frogger> you know whats even better i_c-Y
Dec 28 23:04:41 <i_c-Y> what
Dec 28 23:04:44 <~Frogger> 80% of the time they run the same stock
Dec 28 23:05:05 <~Frogger> therefore you can walk into pcworld see a laptop walk into currys see the same laptop and so on
Dec 28 23:05:14 <~Frogger> they all run some sort of price matching too
Dec 28 23:05:30 <~Frogger> so you can drill the price down as low as possible if you want to be bothered to
Dec 28 23:05:51 <~Frogger> my friend was bothered too and got his laptop £220 cheaper plus a free printer
Dec 28 23:05:54 <i_c-Y> haha
Dec 28 23:06:56 <~Frogger> whats even better was that the stores where across from each other
Dec 28 23:07:07 <~Frogger> so it was a case of walking out and walking a few shops to the left or right
Dec 28 23:07:10 <i_c-Y> haha
Dec 28 23:07:35 <~Frogger> suprisingly enough pcworld said they couldnt go any lower
Dec 28 23:07:42 <~Frogger> that was about £100 cheaper
Dec 28 23:07:53 <~Frogger> so he kept going to dixons and currys
Dec 28 23:08:05 <~Frogger> currys stooped the lowest
Dec 28 23:08:58 <i_c-Y> haha
Dec 28 23:13:06 <~Frogger> its not suprising pcworld didnt go lower because theyre a group of patronising bastards who will reteach you how a pc works with emotive body gestures and rewrite serval laws of physics and eletrical knowledge in the process
Dec 28 23:14:59 <i_c-Y> haha
Dec 28 23:15:08 <i_c-Y> how much did your sister pay?
Dec 28 23:15:14 <~Frogger> £300
Dec 28 23:15:34 <~Frogger> an extra £30 she could of got something with bigger storage bigger screen and a free cover for it
Dec 28 23:15:38 <~Frogger> but NOOOOOOOOOO
Dec 28 23:15:43 <~Frogger> she didnt want the bigger screen
Dec 28 23:17:58 <i_c-Y> -_-
Dec 28 23:18:10 <~Frogger> yep
Dec 28 23:18:19 <~Frogger> i told her many many times
Dec 28 23:18:22 <~Frogger> EEEPC
Dec 28 23:18:33 <~Frogger> if it gets robbed its not that expensive to replace
Dec 28 23:18:38 <~Frogger> her answer: no
Dec 28 23:18:49 <~Frogger> if anything goes wrong its easy to sort out
Dec 28 23:18:51 <~Frogger> her answer: no
Dec 28 23:19:04 <~Frogger> its got a small screen its light and it does everything he wants it to
Dec 28 23:19:06 <~Frogger> her answer: no
Dec 28 23:19:17 <~Frogger> its cheap, you are strapped for casha s it is
Dec 28 23:19:19 <~Frogger> her answer: no
Dec 28 23:19:31 <~Frogger> oh yeah she had to BORROW £100 off her bf to buy it
Dec 28 23:20:04 * BootheaD has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
Dec 28 23:20:18 <i_c-Y> :-/
Dec 28 23:20:45 * l3ioHazardX is now known as l3ioHazardX|ZZZzzz
Dec 28 23:21:32 * BootheaD (~BootheaD@Ron.Paul.2008.Hope.For.America) has joined #wareznet.gaming
Dec 28 23:21:32 * ChanServ gives channel operator status to BootheaD
Dec 28 23:21:47 <Frogger> it doesnt even run championship manager 2008 which is the only game he wanted it to run i_c-Y
Dec 28 23:21:57 <i_c-Y> :-/
Dec 28 23:23:58 <~Frogger> if you see some screenshots of champman 08 you will see its hardly the most stressing game to grace the earth and quite probably pacman would strain it more
Dec 28 23:25:20 <i_c-Y> wow
Dec 28 23:25:22 <i_c-Y> whats in this laptop
Dec 28 23:28:15 <~Frogger> im guessing nothing whats on the label
Dec 28 23:28:20 <~Frogger> it claims 1gb ram
Dec 28 23:28:31 <~Frogger> but the system only sees 800mb of it
Dec 28 23:28:58 <~Frogger> some sis chipset i need the laptop to actually see what model
Dec 28 23:29:21 <~Frogger> celeron 1.7 or something but again that didnt seem too right under the system page
Dec 28 23:30:51 * Aetos-Work is now known as Aetos
Dec 28 23:33:07 <i_c-Y> wow thats pretty bad
Dec 28 23:33:11 <i_c-Y> i dont trust anything from sis
Dec 28 23:34:23 <~Frogger> i told her 3 things
Dec 28 23:34:27 <~Frogger> dont get a celeron
Dec 28 23:34:48 <~Frogger> try get something with an ati or nvidia card (its possible for £300)
Dec 28 23:34:52 <~Frogger> dont get sis
Dec 28 23:35:07 <~Frogger> oh
Dec 28 23:35:09 <~Frogger> 4 things
Dec 28 23:35:16 <~Frogger> make sure the brand is reputable
Dec 28 23:35:24 <~Frogger> so she comes back with this thing
Dec 28 23:35:33 <i_c-Y> i dont see why not to get a celeron now though. they're the cut down core's with slight defects in later L2 cache and/or one core.
Dec 28 23:35:35 <i_c-Y> haha.
Dec 28 23:35:49 <i_c-Y> the rest are valid though the intel x3100 isnt that bad if you just want something small
Dec 28 23:35:54 <~Frogger> its made by some company who quite blatently doesnt exist
Dec 28 23:36:00 <~Frogger> its a celeron
Dec 28 23:36:13 <~Frogger> its got a sis chipset and no ati or nvidia card
Dec 28 23:36:40 <@Aetos> to buy the g15 or not to buy the 15?
