Morning Discussion
Did someone say Shack holiday contest? Yeah, I'll have something for you a bit later, I think it might excite a person or two.

replySo I'm looking at laptops, is it worth $150 to go from a CCFL to a LED screen? The site says it's 35% brighter and about 1/3lb lighter (4.30lbs -> 3.97). I'm looking at the dell xps m1330 btw, because it is both small, light and gameable but I'm open to other suggestions.

unless you get them *right* when they come out (Esp Desktops the since the Intel move). Unfortunately they're all super high end so you have to be willing to pay a lot for said bang. =(
(Later in life, the things are a damn rip off - a high quality ripoff - but a rip off none the less)

To be fair, I have been considering an iphone, and I do realize the two go together like peas and rice. After doing so much computing support, I really really appreciate an elegant system that works cooperatively together and apple really has that now (if you buy all the pieces).
And it's all moot until they make a 13.3" macbook pro or a macbook non-pro that can game. 15" laptops are just too big. -

No one is suggesting an XBox in here, or a DS (Cause it's small, lightweight and game-able amirite?), just another computer that is perfectly capable of running Vista, XP, and OSX as well while fitting his criteria (though the MBP may be a little heavy at the moment for his taste). I don't see the issue here...

Yeah, I've got the time but I don't want a Macbook Pro. Among other things, I walk 2 miles back and forth to work everyday and so any excess weight is unwelcome. If apple makes a Macbook (non-pro) w/ a real GPU then toot toot all aboard the apple love train but until then no time for it dr jones.

well, the MBP is only around 5 pounds.. (i know, a little too heavy for you according to your above posts) but the thing is, it's rumored they're going to have an ultra-portable MBP coming out after macworld, like a 13" 3-4lbs MBP or something like that.. i dunno, it's a wait and see type of thing..
-
My biggest complaint of macs is that as one as you buy one thing, they come out with something better 3 or 4 months later.

*as soon as you buy

I'm assuming the reduced power consumption of the LED would translate to longer battery life.
