My Notebook Setup
 

heres my setup i just bought from HK. everything for less than $4200 AUD excluding speakers. just the latop costs $4500AUD in australia. just to show how cheap stuff is in HK

It includes Sony VAIO Z1XGP with port replicator, spare ac adaptor, SB Audigy NX and Samsung 173v 17" LCD monitor, mouse and portable HD.

i've also bought a few parts to build a semi-mega pc later on :D

how many usd are they?
its nice

Nice settup , can you explain more about the specs on the notebook ? it looks tiny ...and i also want to know hot many USD that is

1.7ghz centrino, 14" monitor, 512mb ram, 60gb hd, dvd-rw. really hard to give you a usd since the exchange rate is so good for us.

According to this currency converter, its about $3155.88 USD. I guess thats not so bad :)





edit: i have a dell inspiron. intel pentium 4 at 2.66gHz, 256megs of ram, a 40gig drive, cdrw, and a 14 inch display. Cost less than a third of that tho

that is wayy too much!! you couldved bought a mich much better laptop for that money

no that sounds pretty top of the line and top of the line usually costs that much

i know its toop of the line, but u coudved spent less on another laptop and it will still be top of the line, the only difference is that it woudnt say vaio on the back of the screen

if the laptop had cost that much it would have been a rip off. For that price you could get the 17 inch powerbook. But if u actually read the first post he had more then just a lap top.

also remember the exchange rate is pretty good for ppl outside of US thats why it seems very pricey. and yes the price included everything in the pic except the speakers

Man that's sweet. 1.7GHz centrino with dvdrw and 60gbs. I don't think I've ever seen that model here in Canada before, but hell I don't look at laptops, too pricey. What parts did you buy for your "semi-mega" pc?

sb audigy 2 zs plat. pro., ati 9800 aiw and 160gb hd. the rest i'm buying here since there aren't much diff in prices.

As a VAIO SR owner, congrats on your purchase! Sony's are great style wise, although make sure you get rid of all the junk they install to get some nice performance boosts.

yes i kinda felt the extra software was bogging it down.
in the future, if i use the recovery cds, are there options not to install those extra software? all i need is the OS and drivers.

OO thats sweet. Audigy 2 ZS platnum pro. That thing costs a fortune, that vid card costs quite a lot too man. I can picture your system now *drooling*
