Seems like a waste of money to me. You could do better with a Gateway P7805 for $1200-ish or those MSI barebones on ebay (although a 9600M GT is probably not as good as SLI 3850s), or go for an MSI 725 for a 17" with a 4850 or something.

Better battery life, better keyboard (although the 2nd gen AAO improves that). Only mistake to fix on the 2nd iteration would be flushmounting the SDHC and making it bootable.

On my netbook, a USB drive knocked my life to 2/3 or 3/4 what it is without it.

Chiming in in agreement, that's not a netbook. Hell, once it gets to the 12" segment, it's an ultraportable notebook as far as I'm concerned. If it's Atom or Nano powered rather than Core (or god help us Turion), it's a weaker one that focuses on battery life, but that's not a problem. But...

Lenovo, for the reasons listed above. 1366x768 though? That's not a Thinkpad resolution. 1280x800 or 1680x1050 in the 15.4" W500 gives you 1920x1200 like Whoodie and I's T61p. But, I'd take the switchable graphics over the 1920x1200 if I were to buy it all over again. There are far more...

My dad's former company bought all the pilots sets of Bose Aviation headphones (model number AH-BG), with active noise cancellation. When he joined the new company (which bought out the old one), the headsets were no longer compatible with the airplanes, and have sat upstairs in my dad's closet...

Man, you are my HERO! It found 3 keys for me. Granted, all were the same for 64 bit, but now I ahve 32 and 64. Now to find a good download for 32 bit.

And...my 32 bit ISO just timed out again. I don't understand why it keeps doing that...this has to be the 20th time.

FINALLY! Almost 9 hours after I start, I get a key. It's 32 bit though, but I assume it will work in 64 bit as well? I want to try it on my netbook, but I want to test it on a 64 bit machine

I've got the stubbornness thing going. 3 computers I'm hitting reload tabs one. I've got virtual machines, IE, Firefox...I'm sending in roughly 40 refresshes every 5 seconds....and nothing. Imagine how frustrating this is given that it's been since a little after 7 (I had to get up and eat food)

I've been using those links for an hour and a half...and still nothing. My ass is falling asleep. (But, itnerestingly enough, the x64 version runs quite well in VMWare w/ just 512mb RAM...now if only I had a key for it)

I'm getting the errors still. I've been at this for almost 9 hours now, it's driving me nuts.

Looks like that method is dying too. I went from getting the standard errors to it trying to say it can't find the page

I hope you have another computer handy...you may have to wait a while. But, you may win in the end if you wait too long. I sent in a client's DV2415NR or something for that same repair the week before Thanksgiving. I got a call on 12/19 saying it would be 1/5/09 before it was done. I...

I know it seems a simple thing to ask about, but I haven't really gone USB flash drive shopping in over 3 years, a 2gb Corsair Flash Voyager being the last drive I bought. I got a couple SanDisk drives, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb, and a Kingston 8gb from work...but I can't complain about (nor choose) free...
