Re: OT- fast laptop

Honestly looking at newegg.com, comparing base price. they are smack
in the middle of the cost range. I would never get an SSD "pre
installed" they always cost more that way. but their markup is really
not to far fetched since that's still a 400 dollar SSD.

they will never be able to really compete with a T1 laptop builder
because of the buying power those companies have. but that's still a
very reasonably priced machine for what you get.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
