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

Zenbooks look the goods. But waiting to see some more Haswell ultrabooks come out before deciding. Touch screens seem nice for W8.

MBP is actually pretty good hardware for your $ (especially if student discount + sale, and I believe you can just upgrade ssd and ram yourself with little difficulty). Depends if you ceebs with the OS though. Trackpad etc is very good, too.

Samsung Series 7, 9 etc do look pretty good as well iirc.

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!!!!!

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

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.

Stagea brakes the same, better or worse then the GTT? Also how much heavier is your car then mine

I had DBA slotted rotors and street pads and didn't have an issue. Street pads won't last long though

Also depends on the track, Winton not too brake heavy, where as Sandown is.

Dell make good shit and their customer service is awesome. Mine came with a slight scratch on the screen so they sent me a whole new package within a couple of days. Laptop has lasted me nearly 7 years now without a hitch, would def buy again. Even their desktops aren't a huge deal more than getting and building the parts yourself.

I used my laptop for gaming cause I specced the bugger out. That was back before laptops were known for gaming and a lot of CS players were surprised that someone was beating them from a Dell haha

My laptops a Dell XPS 15 L501x, specced it pretty decent a couple of years back so it's still half decent.

Core i7 Q740

6gb ram

Geforce GT435M 2gb

640gb hdd

1920x1080 screen

Found a 20% discount voucher online which got me Win7 Ultimate & extended warranty while keeping under budget ($1700)

Dells warranty and customer service is good but you're really best off getting an extended warranty. Have had 3 hard drives die on me, the current one they swapped from Western Digital to Toshiba though and it's still going strong. Also had the the power plug break on me a bunch of times, this is due to shitty design as it's only held on by 1 small screw attached to it by a small weak mounting point. Battery only just lasted longer than the 1 year battery warranty too :/. Apart from that though it's been pretty good. Dell parts are cheap & readily accessible(3rd party) after warranty runs out too.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
