$7000 tax return. Dat negative gearing. Come at me Ric!

Yeah haha. Cause I don't know what I want the laptop for; decided to pull back on the spending and get a learner laptop. Then upgrade to what I want/need. Pre-ordered the 13" i7-4700mq, gtx 765mm 2gb 3d card, 16gb ram, ssd + hdd, win7. Clevo w230st Cost $1700 and will get a good idea over 6-12months if I'm chasing larger screen, gpu or CPU power.

There is a tv ad running at the moment which has a civic with type-r red integra seats. I think it's an EK? Haha

Need rims to get to clients? Haha

haha on my way to/from work! What car you in?

Hey, yeah the more i research the more confused i get! and the more the budget gets pushed. Now sitting at $2500 for a laptop; could get some nice rims for that price ~_~

I've just read up that the 4th gen intros came out. With dell Alienware being one of the first laptops to offer it. Also new nvidia graphics card but that puts it to a price of $2500 :x Might get the 4th gen intel and compromise on the gfx.

Hybrid tablet/laptop worth getting or more of a gimmick?

Haha nice Dezz I'm more days offsite than home. (Dat fifo life) So I need something good portable.

Hey Martin; you do a lot of traveling... Thinking of buying a new laptop to use when onsite & on transit (planes, airport lounges etc) Asus Taichi 31 - tablet / laptop hybrid ; easy to play with on transit http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/TAICHI_31/ Alienware 14 - most powerful 14" laptop ; more usability when onsite or at home http://www.dell.com/au/p/alienware-14/pd?oc=w510772au&model_id=alienware-14 Laptop will be my only system at home, transit & on-site. Better to get a laptop with more power to use at home/onsite or a laptop which is easier to use during transit etc? Any other suggestions would be great! Although dont want to spend more than $2k Thanks

sounds suss, reporting you to ATO

nice return. I should be getting my PAYG tomorrow

Haha when you moving across for good?

Lol something about a turbo sealed in the boot makes me feel uneasy. That is going to be a lot of heat and no doubt the hot air will enter the cabin area. Cut into the floor of the spare wheel bay and set up some cold air feed

Lol I ain't running the business. Still working for the man. And as Birds said, they get you with the daily cost of living over there haha Rb20 for lyf

You are correct, i did not study mining engineering but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

Hahaha I lol'd

I'd put that money towards a holiday which has more to offer than drunk bogan aussies. Tony would have some good recommendations from his honeymoon. I'd rate Vietnam.

this one i applied for but turned down head hunted offers during the process how can one put a price on friends and family?

mining engineer
