    A buddy of mine bought one of these off eBay on my recommendation. It's a decent notebook for the price. Is it new or used? What's 650 CAD in real money anyway?

Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    I was thinking cad is around 75/80% of a usd, if so $500 doesn't sound bad for a system like that. The processor is mid-range now w\ the core2's but still would be pretty good matched w\ the 3gb ram and the 8400gs.

    I'm weary of laptops though, especially w\ only 1 year warranty because I've seen several of them go out.

    my wifes $1300 HP went out twice and then they were ''repairing'' it for almost a month when they called and said she could get an exchange so i don't know if it was shot or if they broke it during repairs...

    Oh I remember my buddy had a problem with the built-in webcam on his dv9000. It wouldn't recognize correctly in Vista and stopped being detected at all. Since Vista treats cameras differently than XP, we couldn't get it to work, though I think it was a hardware failure. But that could happen on any system.

    Yeah I know, I just couldn't pass up the chance to refer to CAD as not being real money compared to the USD. It's the same as when I get a chance to refer to Canada as the 51st state.

    So what did you tell Assassin on IRC? Buy or not?

    he told me what he was going to use it for, so i told him it wouldn't satisfy him in the long run, and should just spend a grand to get a better one.
