No homo bromance in the basement pls.

Keyboards are in.

illicitstylz, check your PM.

I DIDNT GET NUTTIN DAWG

Just picked it up and Razor helped me install it!

A+++ SERVICE MANNN A+++++

I would post this in the feedback section but we're getting itrader any day now and the feedback section will be useless....

No more left hand small shift key!!!!

No probs. I don't even use the feedback system anymore :lol

I didn't know about iTrader. RFD has the same system, and it's pretty dope.

lol that was fast.

Is it possible to download/install office 2007 updates if I have a copy of office 2007 but a legitimate windows 7?

That's.. what... she... said...?

So you're saying you have a pirated copy of office 2007? I'd err on the side of caution.

Thanks for the keyboard razor :D feels so different now... did anyone else have a little trouble doing it? I got a few battle scars on the laptop now cause I had trouble with the side clips... and I might be tripping, or I didn't put it in right, but the keyboard looks a bit raised on the left side at the "D" key and on the right side at the "L" key =.= and props to illicitstylz ;)

glad you got everything working bud, if it's raise, i'd check the clips along the bottom and the side.

make sure all the tabs are aligned/clicked in properly.

Other than that, I can't say I know why it would look raised...

ya turns out I was just trippin lol new keyboard feels so good, dont have to worry about pressing "\" instead of shift

..............................

depends on the model, and which gpu it has

I saw this at Walmart the other day. The machine seems to be surprisingly solid, the keyboard doesn't flex like some cheap laptops out there, it's quite thin compared to other 17 inchers & the screen resolution is 1600x900. The one thing I would really like to know is how colours are rendered on the screen, as they don't have wifi, and they wouldn't let me tether my iPhone to it. What do you guys think?

Buy it and if you don't like it return it.

"16.7million colors; 60% color gamut"

clearly it's a budget laptop. don't you have a 17" mbp? what r u gonna use this for?

For a little more $, some i3/i5-M's can be had now.

Thanks, all the reviews I've looked at were quite positive, but I missed the zdnet one.

Yep, just bought a 17" Macbook Pro, but my other 17" laptop which is now 4 years old is used by the missus and is close to death, so I might get this one. As she only uses it for internet, Skyping & the very occasional photo editing, this just might be the one that fits her needs the most I've looked at so far. I'd love to get her a Macbook or Macbook Pro, but they're a little overkill for her.

Wound up picking up a Dell Inspiron from the Dell website a while back. It's a solid laptop for general purpose/light gaming, but my MAJOR gripe with this thing is that the fucking keyboard doesn't like to register fast spacebar presses. My brother's VAIO has a normal space bar, but if I type my normal speed compared to that, it doesn't register at all. Sometimes I have to hammer on it to register properly.

Any options for an inexpensive keyboard replacement? Thanks.

448 cents !?!?!!?

Buy it, dude !!! Best $4.48 you will ever spend ... They have to honour the price advertised !

Edit: Nevermind, didn't notice the date :(

did you tell Dell that you dropped it?

Anyone recommend a good laptop for 3D rendering/modeling/animation? Looking for:

- budget between 800$ and 1300$
- 13"-15"
- Good graphics card with 8GB memory
- 1080p resolution
- minimum 9 to 12 cell battery
- Primarily used for 3Ds Max, Adobe Creative Suite (lllustrator/Bridge/Indesign/Photoshop)
- Photo/video editing
- Storage capacity doesn't matter
- Planning to keep it for the next 5 years
- Must be slim, light, and portable
- Looked at Dell XPS 15, Asus Zenbooks, and Lenovo W520 Thinkpad so far. Not interested in Apple.

good screen, powerful CPU, power GPU ... + large battery and slim/light is hard to have in your price range. if you do go with lenovo, google the RFD coupons/links.

Thinkpad specs are nice but they are too bulky and dated looking. I like the design and look of their Ideapad's but spec wise doesn't meet my needs.

Zenbooks CPU is weak because they use the ultra mobile versions of the I series CPU's. Look at the Dell XPS 14Z AnandTech - Dell XPS 14z: Thoroughly Reviewed
