Re: New Computer

How long did they say it was going to take to get to you? My HP says it's going to ship on the 18th... which was basically 2 weeks after I ordered it. If it's going to get here sooner, HELLL YEAH!!

I ordered mine on a Wednesday afternoon and received it the following Friday afternoon. It was a "ready-to-ship" model (meaning it was prebuilt, no customizing) and I choose the 5-7 day shipping option (which was free.) Maybe someone made a mistake and shipped it 2 day, but I still got the free shipping.

What is it with some of these laptops hard drives. They always seem to be 4800 or 5400 RPM instead of 7200 like most desktops. It seems that people would want a faster hard drive in their laptop. Especially if they are making music...they deserve a fast as hell hard drive.

There should be a computer made specifically for music makers. And it also should not be high as hell priced.

Now these days you can choose to have a 7200 rpm with your notebooks.
This is my current toy and am so very happy with it right now......http://www1.us.dell.com/content/prod...p;s=dhs#tabtop

My current favorate games such as World of Warcraft, HL2, Far Cry, The Chronicles of Riddick and Doom 3 run like butter. Had it configured wiith the 9800 256mb Radeon.
