Yesterday was a bad day for my laptop (pic!) is about to die, the fan is dead, and I don't know how to repair it, and send it to fix it will cost a lot of money. Even though the fan was dead for about 6 months or so, still I had no problem but now, its like a pain to work with since it just shut down after a quite amount of time. I'm afraid someday it will just die in a fire (literately).
So I'll get a new laptop (has to be a laptop since I don't have a desk or space to put a desktop system), I was thinking, what I'll get this time, a nice one or a powerful one, I think I'll get both a nice and powerful, but here is the thing, which one?
Mac is not an option: since, you know, I wanna actually run an OS that I actually like, and that's Linux and Linux sucks in macs *period*. Don't get me wrong, the hardware is pretty cool and the OS is certainly better than Windows, but I'm a Linux user.
The Envy: HP Voodoo Envy 133 looks amazing! just pure gold!, better than any notebook out there (even Macs), but the specs are pretty outdated!, and I bet I can't get better performance than my laptop with it.
Right performance & specs _nice_ looking: Dells (XSP and Studio 15) I actually like their specs, but I don't like their style, ppl! learn from Apple squared and thin == sexy! anyway, after the Envy 133 Dells laptops are just better looking than anything out there right now IMHO.
Screw look&feel, get a Thinkpad!: thinkpads have the best hardware overall, but they are ugly! very ugly!, made for marketing people (ugly!).
The other option is just wait, but that's the boring option and I want to stimulate the economy soon :)

HP&DELL got great Linux support and you know it.
BTW: I'll buy the old one ;)
K needs a laptop :D and yours is perfect!
I think I might go with Dell XPS or a Studio 15 (whatever that gives me more than 1280x800 screen resolution)
I'll consider that!, its broken though you'll have to repair the fan.
prueba la serie HDX Premium de HP... yo tengo una HP HDX16 y me responde muy bien.
system76 serval here. looks nice and packs a punch
I'm waiting for my Dell mini, I hope its good, this is not a replacement for my development laptop but a fun thing to get (and yesterday I got it for 200USD)
