    Thanks! I'm in love with the case too. It just screams professional.

    Cheap laptops are a pain to operate. No way I would every buy one- even if I just wanted to play solitaire :D

    It's a good investment since it'll last much longer than cheap laptops which you will continously have to replace because they die out!! :D

    I just got a free laptop just like that yesterday. Except mine came with 2GB RAM and 120GB diskspace :p

    Nice purchase. Mines the HP dv6000. What's that one?

    stickycarrots - It is custom built by ABS.com. And I do have 2 GB of RAM :)

    No, i didn't get the wireless mouse. I actually decided against wireless and got a corded mouse instead. Don't waste batteries that way- or have to deal with charging.

    Definately!

    I'm going to use the businessman routine where applicable. You know, intimidate people with my briefcase. Can't wait. :)

    Hi zac,

    nice stuff you buy with $2,000+, the laptop spec also cool.

    Where you buy all this stuff, online or locally.

    Just imagine if I have that amount of money, surely I will buy a new laptop :)
