Shiney gadget syndrome
I am looking to get a new laptop for work & have trawled through review sites etc to try & work out what make and model I should get. It needs to be fast & capable of running multiple programmes at once. What would you recommend?

Alt Q: what have you wasted money on recently?

Yeah
have been travelling by train a lot recently and am feeling pretty knackered so it was nice after my second interview to be able to relax and treat myself a little. Fuckers haven't got back to me yet - Friday at the latest apparently so fingers crossed - this is a job I could really do with.

did you ask them to cover the cost of your travel?

(, Thu 15 Jul 2010, 11:37, Reply)
I did not ask
and they did not say. But in the past when I've claimed they ask for the cheapest mode of transport (and the receipt) which would've been a 7 hour train journey at £20.

Would probably up the RAM to 8gb I think as I use an ACT database a lot which seems to use a lot of memory.

It's upgradable to 16gb
but as I mentioned above, DDR3 is expensive especially for laptops. But it's significantly quicker so you might not need as much as you think
You won't get much more than 4gb in a laptop off the shelf.

It all started with an iPod Touch, I swear, I didn't even want it, it was just 'cus an ex said I wasn't allowed one, I'm sorry, oh god I'm so sorry, it was on ebay, it was cheap, it looked like a laugh, everyone I know who has one loves it, oh god, I'm sorry, I'm soo sooo sorry, I didn't mean it, didn't happen on perpous. You see, the Touch doesn't get online, I needed to get online, I needed an iPhone, oh god, I sware it didn't mean much at first, everybody's doing it these days. I'm a web developer for god's sake, how do you expect me to be creative without this stuff? oh god, inertia scrolling, multi touch, oh god, I _needed_ that Macbook Pro, always looking for the bigger resolution, have you seen it run Red Alert 3? It hardly does at all these days, my hard drive is already filled up, I have to close photoshop to run portal. I'm so sorry, soo sorry, optimised operating system and re-arranged shortcuts, it's no longer Ctrl+V or Ctrl+C or even Ctrl+X.... command, cmd, it's cmd, oh god, I hardly even touch the ctrl key anymore. I thought the iPad would help, move me onto small things, but it just means I can ponce it up in public. People see me in the cafe doing it, minding my own buisness, and they won't let me read my RSS feed in piece, always someone stops me, asks me all about it, and they ask me where I got it from, how much it was, if I really enjoy it. "It's just a big iPod Touch", they're just kidding themselves, it's like a duel screen ipod touch if anything, but it doens't really compare, not at all. Did you know I have no SD Card slot anymore? I've lost it, it's gone, forever, I needed to buy an external one, how pathetic is that?

And the worst thing is, the very bloody worst thing; I refresh O2 and CarPhoneWearHouse's iPhone 4 Stocklist every. single. day.... my contract isn't up for another 5 months, but they said they'll sort me out early... for a price.
