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.

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
