I seem to recall someone saying "drop your drive shafts and drive a mans car" nek minit buys evo

It suited my purposes to insult someone or other at the time

160mph and no roll cage loool badass

If you ran that trap speed with no cage in a jap car there is NO chance they would let you run again

VN's are the safest cars on the road m8.

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

Grab a cheap ass netbook and a decent desktop for at home, don't have to worry so much about losing or damaging your expensive laptop and still get the best of both worlds.

I'm getting the Lamborghini Asus laptop, don't give a f**k if it's not the best laptop, it's the best laptop

[Rekin]

Haha nice Dezz

I'm more days offsite than home. (Dat fifo life)

So I need something good portable.

[Down_Shift]

yes they put you in groups.

they will ask for any experience when you say none they will look at the car and pick a group.

Auto Manual Stag will be in one of the slowest ones.

Just do the next SAU VIC track day Huy

At least you'll be driving with alot of familiar faces

And less chance of a random spinning out in an emo.

hmmm.... you guys think I'll be fine with stock breaks? 1 hard lap then 1 cool down lap in each run?

Think I might stick to deca this year before a tune and brake upgrade.

Dat fifo life

Lots of queueing

Don't buy a netbook. You'll just want to head->desk repeatedly.

Although that said, I'm a fan of the PC at home, and if going down route of home pc+laptop; laptops are fairly affordable these days and should be able to get a decent i5 etc. Haswell is out now too, so.

I'll probably buy an ultrabook of some sort next sem.

Always gotta weigh up performance vs cost vs portability... but $2K budget seems plenty to get best of all three aspects.

I've heard some good things about LBO horize ones which you can customize too. But name brands are around for a reason too

I bought a Asus transformer for uni last semester. Shouldn't have.

[Birds]

Dell laptop...choose what you want in the friggen thing and it'll still work out cheaper than the brand shit. They do Alienware stuff now anyway.

[Sunkist]

Buy a MacBook

*runs*

[xALmoN]

lol. macbook.

[emts]

If you want to use on the move get a 13 inch ultra book

Personally I'm looking to move to a Samsung ultra book myself

If you need more power/ screen than an ultra book at home get a tablet and a home system separate

And no idea why ppl think I travel much!!!!!

this. reason alone not to get Alienware.

Dell is probs best for cheap laptops because of "customer service" and no lack of spares. in the end, it's a laptop, it'll be a POS in 2 years no matter how good care you take of it (unless it sits dormant and doesn't have new things installed)

speaking of travel, 4:45 wake-up call for 7:45 flight yay. only going to Sydney though, so not as exciting. f**king swear flights to Fuji would have been cheaper *grumble*
