Singh/Bakerian/AMD/other Shift Nerds, rate my purchase?

I just ordered a new laptop, I know, I posted it in recent purchases thread as well, I just want to see what I’m getting myself into here.

I got it for under a G shipped with a 2yr Warranty with Accident Protection and a Neoprene case.

I’m just having some buyers remorse, not sure if it was the best one to go with, but I’d say it’s pretty loaded with features/performance. Although I haven’t found many reviews for the Y550 in particular, IBM/Lenovo has a pretty good history of making some quality notebooks, aside from some customer service issues. Honestly what computer company these days doesn’t have customer service issues, though?

What should I do once it gets here? Obviously ditch all the bullSHIT software it will no doubt come jam packed with, but I’ve heard of some things you can do with Vista to make it less of a resource hog, and less annoying. Basically more XP, less omg look at me I’m pretty and ask you to do everything nine times before I do it.

when u get it, call me up, cuz we still havent hung out yet since i got back, so i’ll come over and tweak it up for ya and smoke some weed LOL

nah but really uh looks alright , i mean idk how much u paid EDIT, under a g, ok well yea i mean w/e its not bad dude, well its kinda small the 15 inch shit, idk i like the 17+ , im on a 15 now and it sucks its too small

but the brand rocks (i think)

I use it as my only computer, both work and home. 17" is a bit bulky IMO for my usage, my latitude was a 14, and I was more than happy with that.

The discrete graphics card with 512mb should be more than adequate for LFS and other comparable games right?

idk lfs is going to be more graphically demanding very soon with the new update/patch

as it sits, i guess it would run it yea , idk about that graphics card tho, never personally tested or benchmarked it, let alone heard anything about it because i only read up on mid to high end desktop graphics

anyways, yea w/e i think u coulda got a better deal elsewhere, however its no biggie man the laptop looks fine

and when u get it, really do call me i’ll make it noticeably faster and less annoying for you, for freeeeeeeee

Deal, any chance you could take a look at my Latitude? Free tomorrow? I have a sneaking suspicion the HD shit the bed, but it’s locked up and given the same Stop Error codes before and I resolved it with the recovery console. I lost my XP Pro disc though :frowning:

LOL fuck your xp pro disc, shoulda been lost from the begining

anyways, no tomorrow im more busy than god, so lets shoot for when your new one comes in, i’ll do both at once while im there, thats usually what i do with girls to get them out of the way

Well I have to get the Dell running again before I get the Lenovo, which is a bday gift from the madukes and shes getting the Dell. I need it up and running for the time being anyways, so LMK when you get some spare time, willing to pay for your services.

ill try to make some time this week you’re killing me with your rushing
