They pay me to sing in those languages. Frankly unless I am doing the role I do not study the score. Which leaves me a lot of work still because I am not fluent. Therefore I gotta translate it then learn the music and then sing it. So unless I wanna get fired from some of my jobs I got a lot of studying to do...

Besides I suck at FPS's anyway. It gets old being frag fodder...

8X DL DVD Burner
Intel 2200 Pro Wireless Card

All this for 1397...

Pretty Good deal huh??

As for the XPS2, it has great specs but the design is just too geeky. The whole XPS thing on the back of the LCD panel is just awful. I could not inagine showing up to an opera gig with that laptop. I would never hear the end of it. That, and I don't know about you guys but I am just not good enough at FPS Games to justify spending 3000+ to get a gaming laptop (I have just sold off my 9100 in my sig).

So this came as a relief to "finally" see the specs and pricing. Maybe I am stupid, but I am that much more happy with my laptop purchase in light of this... So 9200 owners be happy. At least our laptop looks nicer
Want a cookie???

Last time I check this is called www.notebookforums.com

Not www.I like to repeat over and over again that I am an opera singer.com

You don't have to tell use over and over again about it - who cares, why don't you sing how about how lame you are to start a post llike this just to flame the XPS gen2. Everyone has their own need for certain laptops, but you don't have to put one down just to make you feel better.

As for me I have a 700m, but I don't feel the need to trash every new laptop that comes out to make me feel better, that's just the nature of technology.

If I saw you lugging around a 17 inch screen laptop to the opera house I might even laugh at you. Since my laptop weighs like 4 lbs and is so portable.

See how lame I just sounded trying to trash your laptop? Just be happy with your laptop and stop trying to start post flaming other people's choices.

*Feeds Operman's ego* Yea your 9200 is better than everyone elses laptop, everyone that has a different laptop from 9200 should be ashamed and bow down to Operman.

Happy now??

I'm guessing that's what your ego needed LOL, I guess that's how performers are.

No, I want them to fix my damn WUXGA Screen and they wouldn't. So I returned it.

As for cookies I like Oatmeal Raisin and double chunky chocolate chip...

LMAO!!! Seriously soon as I saw the thread title I thought to myself, "this guy is trying to make himself feel better". As for feeling geeky and being laughed at about hauling a XPS2 to an opera gig, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'd be embarassed to be a male opera singer in the first place.

What the f*** is your prob man? I make light of your joke about wanting a cookie and you got to go edit your post and flame me? Geez, I thought you were kidding with me not serious...

Why the hostility? Geez man, you are a real ass. All I did was make a joke about you saying do I want a cookie and you have to go and flame me all over the place. Well I hope you feel better now that you completely made fun of me and humiliated me for no good reason. Oh and got people to dogpile me to. That is just really crappy man...

Well been nice posting on these forums. Have a nice life everyone....

I am not a pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's son.

Despite all the people who are still happy with their 9200's I'm still quite buzzed about my XPS 2 order. I hope it comes in early.

You make 350,000+ a year? I am betting not. So make fun all you want. Iwill laugh all the way to the bank. So I am more than happy to be a MALE opera singer thank you very much. BTW there should be a minimum age of 25 on all forums. No one over that age would make such a lame statement...

Oh and INX

Right back at ya....

I am sure women will flock to you with your pretty lighted notebook. Funny, women seem to like my singing pretty damn well. But I guess "TECH" guys can't have it all huh???

Wow, where do I sign up for opera singing lessons?

And what are you doing shopping in the outlet for refurbs if you're making $350K/year? Splurge and get a new XPS2

It's called 50% in taxes. When you sing overseas it is even worse. Yout agent gets 10% as well... If you do concert gigs (Orchestra works, etc) it jumps to 20%, so there ya go. There is a reason I vote Republican or Libertarian. Less taxes are good...

I figure I might as well stick around and stir up the pot a bit. It's all in good fun right? So FLAME AWAY. Were all friends when we are done anyway right??

BTW, I make crap in opera. I am nobody.. The stars in opera make in one appearanc what I make in a year. Not sure where all the hate comes from. I'd love to buy an XPS2 but my wife keeps the books and there is no fighting her... And anyne that says otherwise is either:

a. About to be divorced or b. A liar....

I would LOVE a 9300 though. And just to set the record straight:

FINE!! YOU WIN!! YES!! I AM JEALUOS!! I WANT a GeForce 6800togo and I can't have one.

Plus my 9200 screen sucked and I returned it. So I got guys like INXSDRAGON rubbing it in...

You should be able to write off the computer as a business expense, and at your tax rate, you can write off a BIG computer expense. How about it? XPS2's for everybody!

I am gonna do it. F*** the opera people. You are dooming me Delbert. That and reading on Anand that it outperforms my DESKTOP BFG 6800 GT OC. I will end up gaming ALL the time and be screwed.

Why oh why am I doing La Boheme in a different city when the XPS2 would be shipped... AHHHHH!!!!

I may have to compromise and get the 9300. It doesn;t scream gaming machine and my wife may buy it. Okay guys, I need your help. People are smart enough to slam me good. So people here need to use those smarts to give me a good exuse to upgrade to an I9300. She took one look at the XPS2 and said no. I was even willing to sell my desktop. So comeon guys help me out...

The XPS2 and 9300 come with Media Center Edition 2005, and since you're in media, you obviously need one. Plus the XPS2 has that cool LCD cover in which you can put a picture of Wagner. And the flashing LEDs to psych out your opera singing competitors.
