Holy Replacement Laptop Batman!!!1one!1!

Wow... Tony, Krayzie... It was worth the hassle/wait... I just got a load of the specs of my upcoming replacement laptop and nearly fainted!!! Apparently this beast is worth $6,902.13!!! Get a load of this:

- T7600G (overclockable -- sweee-hee-heeet...)
- 4GB RAM ($3600 extra?!?!? Oh snap!)
- 200GB 7200RPM HD (2 times my old capacity!)
- 7950GTX Go (hells yeah, this was all I was hoping for!)
- Vista Home Premium (meh, damn Vista... I may reformat and install XP...)
- Intel 4965 wireless card (draft N? Meh...)
- Bluetooth (and some sorta lite-on headset, too?)
- TV Tuner w/remote (this is awesome)
- 2 batteries (which I had before)
- 1 A/C adapter (I have 3 now -- is it the same 130w one from my XPS Gen 2?)
- Office 2007 (which I already have Ultimate, but cool nonetheless)
- A bunch of stuff that I can't tell WTF they are...

I think I may pass out... Dell really came through for me. I am very surprised. I do hope they give me the system disk so I can reformat and wipe out the crapload of bloatware I see they installed, too. 3 years of Macafee? No thanks... AOL? Meh... Other crap too. No sign of a DVD burner in there, but I'm sure it's the standard one. Though the PowerDVD says "BD-P" as in Blu-Ray??? That would rock, but not expected.

Anyways, just thought I'd update everyone. It's gonna be a week long marathon session of downloading/installing/setting up crap. Right after the jizz-in-pants sessions...



(PS - 3-5 days shipping before it gets here.)

If you think 4gb of memory in the laptop is worth $3600, you're silly. Can Upgrade a dell m1730 with 2gb to 4gb for $375. nice thought tho and still a nice rig!

Well, it said +$3600 on the detailed info for the 4GB RAM. Typo? I dunno. But sweet nonetheless!

Oddly enough, the laptop JUST came in!!! And it has Vista Ultimate 32-bit, not Home Premium (WITH installation CD -- WOOHOO)! And yes, it came with the freakin' Blu-Ray player! Hell, it even came with a Cingular broadband connection card.

I can't believe this is actually "featured" on the front page! Can I use ANY more exclamation points?!? I am so excited I can't hardly contain myself!

So much to do... Like backup my old computer, and freak out when I realize I have to re-install SO much stuff... Or can I just use Acronis to put everything but system files back onto it?

Either way, thanks Tony. I WILL be testing as soon as I can get this beast to where I want!

Wow... Me --->

Dumb question - but why was your original laptop replaced? What model was it previously? And what did you do to get it replaced, much less with something good?

All I can say Shnike is... Well...

I HATE YOU!!!!1!one!



J/K dude... very sweet replacement if I do say so myself. I don't think I will push for anymore of the replacements for me though... I went from the lowest config I9300 to an "almost" top tier E1705 (only thing not top tier is the T7400 instead of the T7600.. no big though) If I dare get another replacement, they would surely shaft me with a 1720... or worse a 1721

With that in mind... my CPU on my newest rig gets way too hot... nearly 100*C hot - and this is after trying every which way to AS5 it down a bit. System crashes from heat... benchmarks suffer. Sucks. Dell is bringing out a new mobo and heatsink to see if that fixes it all. I certainly hope so myself. * crosses fingers *

Oh yeah, hey Shnike?

GET TO WORK SLACKER!

Hey Shnike i got a question . How did you get that replacement . I assume it was made for that gen2 XPS thats in your signature . The system you are getting sure is impressive . Was your old lap under a regular limited warranty or did you have CC ?

I want to know how he ended up with such a giant leap up in stats and most people with Dell problems now are getting systems replaced with downgraded equipment. And Dell is saying that a new system of any kind is an upgrade.

With these replacements it's really a luck related matter on what computer you get. Sometimes they send you a great system that is many times better than your current one, sometimes a worse (where you will call dell up again and try to get a better), or sometimes they'll send you one of your same specs. =/ It's really like rolling the dice lool
