CarlFK: and I have a $25 Amazon gift card for you ;)

eh? lol

I'm serious :P

new but damaged box for $450 - wow, that is cheap

that's my thought too

CarlFK: it seems like you misinterpreted a few specs there? no ssd, no 1080p

hmm

I thought it was the same as this one from a local store

Title: Lenovo Ideapad U530 15.6" Ultrabook Refurbished - Silver Metal 59RF0912 - Micro Center (at www.microcenter.com)

that's ultrabook. Way better (and costly)

mithro: pong

dang it. I have burned up a good 4 hours trying to deal with my failing disk.

dying disks are the worst :(

they are, I had 4 fail in the weeks leading up to LCA

wow.

I was so close to buying a 1T and then realized it won't fit cuz the slot is only 7mm and all the 1Ts are 9mm

hmm you can get a 1T ssd now, wonder if that'll fit

though it may cost more than a new computer :P

yeah.. I was thinking that too

the 500g spinny is fine. 2 or 3 times a year I wish I had 1T, and then just for video files which don't need the speed at all

Not as much as I thought though, 7mm

$400 - yeah, I expected 800+ but still just a little more than I feel good about

Heh. Not long now until they're in 'Just buy it' territory

techman83: what was that awesome Perth coffee called again?

micolous, there is awesome Perth coffee?

Yeah, you were saying that there was a coffee that they only make in Perth

And it had lots of caffiene

Ahh, they call it a "long macchiato topped up"

Sorry, "small long macchiato topped up"

Basically it's a double shot espresso in a small cup, topped up with latte milk
