Think I mentioned this briefly in another thread, but...

I got a new laptop today. I actually won it free at my work's company picnic, and it is so much more gangster than I could have imagined, but they just gave it to me now cause they forgot it at the office pre-picnic. idk about the technical aspects of it, but I'll type it out so you nerds can tell me whether or not it's ballin.

Acer Aspire 9402WSMi
Intel Pentium M processor 740
17" WXGA + CrystalBrite color TFT LCD screen
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900
120 GB HDD
DVD-Super Multi Double Layer (supports DVD-R and -RW burning)
2 GB DDR2 (support dual channel)
802.11 b/g wireless LAN
Also it came with a remote control so I can watch television on it with the right components, also acts as a DVD controller as well.

The picture is as good as any of those pimp-ass Mac monitors that run like $1800 each, though it obviously isn't quite as large as those. I can't wait to see what FFXI and other stuff looks like on this screen, as I anticipate it to look absolutely amazing. I do hope that I'm right. Really though, it was free and I needed one badly...gonna have a hard time complaining about it regardless.

Absolute fail. Should move this to Wall of Shame. Although free, that thing is like 5 or 6 years old, and I'm expecting FFXI to run like crap on it.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900

ROFL. NOT BALLIN.

Well that sucks. Pretty surprising since the picture looks absolutely phenomenal. Wish it was something more pimp than that. Better than the 0 that I have right now :<

Acers kinda suck - cheap laptops overall - google it. Good for general stuff, grandparents and college kids



but free is always nice

Who cares it was friggin' free. I want a free laptop on top of the laptop that I already have. Which I paid for.

You da man Vedder. Gratz on pwn laptop. You have to excuse Lutia, he's a pimp Tech overlord. Of course it's a downgrade to him, but for people like me it's a pwn laptop. I keep saving for a new awesome pc but I keep spending the money. Also trying to save up for real life stuff like a bigger house.
