I'm only going for the SSD version as it will probably get a bit of abuse and storage is not needed.
Think I will go for XP as I think I will eventually get annoyed with linux!!
Did you try that fan programme?
Having decided on the SSD for the Acer, I now need too decide between Acers Linux set up or get XP.
I used the Linux version in Currys and it seemed ok - but what are the down sides to Linux?
If anyone has the Aspire, what OS do you recommend?
Not really, I have a holiday where I take loads then go through periods where I only upload 1 or 2 a month! Only uploaded 4 this month and 5 in Jan and 9 in December.
Most of my hits are from photos taken last May or ones of my Cat from last year, its a fairly decent tick over of hits for older...
I get an average of 200-300 views per week, and my photo stream is pretty boring lol
My most popular is a pic of a Tank with 169 views - its not even a good pic!
16GB solid state or 160GB hard drive? Will be running XP and the ACER has dedicated SD slot which could be used to run another 16GB SD.
Use is just for surfing the web so really not sure if the HD is needed. Plus solid state should be more impact resistant if the little bugger gets thrown...
Need a compact travel laptop asap and if possible on an interest free plan.
Ideally looking at 12-13" screen size and max of 2KG.
I like the look of the Acer TM6292, which has some great reviews...
The misses just got a black and pink one and being the fussy mare she is she thinks that the music players buttons are loose. I'm pretty sure they are meant to be like they are - they have a slight rattle and move a little, but to me it looks like thats how they are designed!
Can someone...
Are they branded at all?
They are doing a cheapo w302i that will tide the misses over, but on Virgin PAYG its only £50, on orange and voda its more - do they brand them at all or all they all from the same unbranded stock?
I know the LG Cookie is unbranded and unlocked no matter what...
55-200 is a great lens for the money, used to have it a while back.
As for the 50, remember unless you get the AF-S version you will have to manual focus.
Current price difference - about £200!!!
Scores mean nothing anyway, different magazines seem to like different things! Eurogamer only gave MGR4 an 8, and GOW 2 got a few 8's and 9's.
User reviews are ok, but different gamers like different things so you never get a really good review until you play it yourself!
Lets get this straight, I never said either console was better, but if you go by IGN scores to which this thread it titled, here are the top rated 360 games, you can work out the exclusive ones yourself!!!
Not reading my posts properly FTL!! ;)
Roy - should I put my spoon away? lol!
9.4 is a cracking score, but still needs to improve to beat its xbox 360 exclusive titles (according to IGN scores anyway!)
Nice to see some decent titles finally reaching the PS3.
Turned up at Whitemans a little while back:
Silver with grey alloys and yellow calipers.
Hope its not a CS member, but couldn't tell you if it has a CS sticker as the rear window is not there!
Whats CS8? Is it a gut down version like elements?
I'm using CS3 packagae at the moment which includes indesign, bridge etc. Pretty sure CS4 is out now though.
Its expensive though, like £400 expensive (just for photoshop CS4!)
