lols, i put my TNN stickers in the exact same place

Looking back on the pictures of the red tyres, i can see why people hated them now. I think it looks horrible with red tyres The black ones are here to stay!

hehe, thanks!

Still waiting for specs...

It was about £200 more for an SSD, and it was less storage. I'm not quite ready for SSD yet. When the price per GB drops more, then i will definitely look into upgrading it! I'l try and get 3dmark up on it. The actual chipset that this laptop uses, does not support 800Mhz RAM. It only supports up to 667Mhz. If you were to instal 800Mhz, it would limit itself to 667Mhz, if it worked at all that is! There is support for an FSB running at 800Mhz, but thats different! Besides, the difference it makes is said to be minimal and has no real noticable improvement. It is easier to overclock 800Mhz memory, which is one of the advantages, but i will not be doing this, so that makes no difference to me. It wouldnt suprise me if this PCworld laptop was limited to 667Mhz due to the chipset

Most notebook ram is 667Mhz. You can get 800Mhz i believe but its expensive, and this was the only option... That ^

You are clearly not interested. You have no reason to be posting in here. Nooo, im not bragging. I just thought, its unusual, and some people might be interested

I'm presuming you mean the red tyres!

I thought this was the Chit-Chat section? *sigh* It's people like you, that make me remember why i stopped using this forum for so long, and now i'm starting to question why i'm even typing this message. Thanks

*shakes head* I never have liked anything to do with m-a-d after i have cracked and snapped 3 of their frames within a year. That aside, i still dont like this one. Dont like curved forks or the weird bend in the frame either.

Agreed.

Good luck! If you get it eventually, whack some pics up.

Just to add; If for any reason you want to make it bigger or smaller, you can do so by ctrl + scrolling on the mouse wheel. Scrolling up makes things bigger, scrolling down makes things smaller.

haha thanks! Just like you said, its faster and can handle more things at once. Quite simply, its much better componentry. It's the same kinda thing as how some trials bikes cost £2000 and some cost £300. Faster processor, more memory, it has 2 high end graphics cards linked together, whereas on a cheaper laptop, you might not even have a graphics card. It may just be integrated onto the motherboard. There is a high definition DVD drive, instead of just a plain DVD drive. The screen is a very high resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels) it has a webcam, bluetooth and ofcourse, cool lights

Thanks for the comments! Just to clarify, no I didn't buy it for portability, or for battery life. I have a very laid back job, where me and my boss play games pretty much all day. A desktop at work is too big, whereas a laptop lid can be shut if there are customers. That is its main usage, but I do plan on bringing it home occasionally for the Blu-Ray player, and I will also take it round my mates house every now and then to play some games LAN style. I've done that once with my desktop, and it was so much effort. Yes, yours can do that, but it can't play games, which is clearly what I bought mine for It was 2:30 in the morning. I was tired, and I'm also typing on a brand new keyboard that I got 3 days ago which seems to skip 1/4 of the keystrokes I type. When will people realise, that taking little digs at people for getting a couple of spelling mistakes out of paragraphs of text is, to be blunt, childish. It's not funny anymore. It was funny in the 90's, now it's just annoying. Also, i didn't type the original post on the laptop... What games can they play?... oh wait Thanks! In Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit (what I'm using) the limit is 16GB. In Vista Ultimate 64bit, it's 128GB orly? Specs? Its yet to meet my desktop then

You hurt its feelings now. Its gone all blue. and sad...

With all due respect, i didnt buy it for battery life

No idea. Its always plugged in when its on, and i cant ever imagine il use it on battery life. I would take a guess at <1 hour on a game.

If it comes back, just blame it on Microsoft, even if it is RAM to blame

Got a new laptop on Tuesday, so i thought i'd put some pics up for those who may be interested. It's a Dell XPS M1730, specs are below. CPU: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.50 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 6 MB L2 cache) GPU: Dual SLI™ 512MB nVidia® GeForce™ 9800GT graphics card RAM: 6144MB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (1x2GB + 1x4GB) Hard drive: 320GB Free Fall Sensor (7200RPM) Hard Drive Optical drive: Internal Blu-Ray ROM Combo (Blu-Ray, DVD and CD Read, DVD & CD Write) LCD: 17.0" UltraSharp™ WUXGA (1920x1200) TFT with TrueLife™ with Integrated 2.0MP web cam Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (64 BIT) It obviously has WiFi, and also a bluetooth module. Total came out at: £ 1,457.29 (including VAT +shipping) Ive only had it for 4 days now, but so far it's been perfect. Played C&C3 on everything maxed out, as well as Left4Dead. Got a few more games that i've yet to install and try, but im pretty sure it can take on almost any game... maybe not Crysis and although its very powerful, its not good enough to take on my dekstop Images below... Yes, you can change the color of the lights, except the keyboard backlights and the 2 wing panels on the lid. So basically, the touchpad + left and right speakers. So far, Dell has made me happy

Looks immense. Thats the first 24" Trials that ive actually really liked the look of! Good luck with the sale! Hopefully the lucky buyer can put some more pics up of it

+ 1 I like the bike, but not the skulls.

I might just do that. Although i would quite like to just try it first with the different stem instead of buying one

+1 Dont like the silver either

I dont like it either Much prefer my white A2
