ithikaIt's a song!
Believe me.
Anyway I've pretty much decided to get myself a Dell Inspiron 1520
with these specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500
2.2 GHz 4 MB Cache, 800 MHz FSB
Vista Home Premium
15.4" Ultra Sharp Widescreen WSXGA 1680x1050 with True Life
4GB DDR2 SD RAM
250 GB SATA Hard Drive
Internal 8xDVD +/- dual layer burner
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
255 MB GDDR2 dedicated graphics memory
Intel 496SAGN Wireless minicard
9-Cell Lithium-ion battery
Norton Internet Security 15 Months
Microsoft works 8.5 (because I have office so I don't want to buy it again, I'm uninstalling it from Idril anyway :P)
Dell Care Plus
Standard Delivery
---
Should come to
$2, 290.20
, but I needs some halps!
I can't decide what colour I want it!
So do people who have dealt with Dell before (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drayke_?), how long was their delivery time if you brought your pc/laptop online? Because the website says that Green takes 1-2 weeks, and I like green, but I don't want to wait another 1-2 weeks because it's very likely I will explode before then.
But I am going to try asking them to prioritise the order for free (because some notebook forum said you could generally do that, and that they actually listen). I'm also going to badger them for student discounts (and other stuff).
Whee!
And I also have a beaut idea for studio. Well kind of. It actually came to me in a dream - lol. I don't think I can describe it as "A building that looks like a bookshelf" to my studio co-ordinator (will probably have to come up with something more interesting, like "plays with light and shadow" or some crap using the word 'play'), but at least I have a concept this time. Whooo.
And soon I will have a computer with
MORE RAM THAN NEW ZEALAND
Chances are very high that I will say this in any conversation pertaining to this laptop. I am pretty proud of this ridiculous joke, you see.
By the way, in case anyone was confused, Gypsie is named as in "Gypsy," and I'm aware that that's how you spell it - but we changed Bonnie's name from "Bonny" to "Bonnie" because the ie is more feminine and makes the word more name-like, so I thought I would keep a trend and do the same with Gypsie. I like the ie looks on the end of words toie. :P

Colourwise, I suggest Espresso Brown.

Date: 2007-09-03 08:36 am (UTC)I've used Norton before on other computers but I haven't had much trouble with it? I'm using Avast now, though.
Looks like leather doesn't it?
I think I'm going for the green though if they will let me have my laptop quickly produced for free :P

I have to go with one of the two out of Norton and McAfee, but I can always change later.
