What would you use second m1330 for?

Hi, all -

I am a proud XPS m1330 owner, and I was recently offered another by a friend of mine for soopercheep (read, under $500). The reasons why aren't worth going into here, but it's all legit...let's just say I hope the poor guy is happy with his Mac.

The question for the noble folk at Notebook Review is...what would you do with a second m1330?


Thanks,

GRPCV

 

Recharging the battery while using the other one?

 

sell it and make a profit on ebay..

 

Give it to me

 

NO. give it to ME!

i don't think u'll need two laptops.... but the price is yummy... any siblings/relatives that would benefit from a laptop/newer system?

 

I would resell it at a higher price.

 

put Mac OS X on the second, and have the most powerful macbook ever made:

"oh what's that? even in boot camp you can't run games very well? SUCK ON MY NVIDIA 8400!!"








the power's gone to my head.

i'm sorrry.




(no not really)

 

Speaking from experience......I'm much happier with my MacBook than my Dell. IMO, your friend is the smart one here!

 

Oh what's that? After you install the NVidia KEXT files on the m1330, it doesn't shutdown or reboot properly?

Oh what's that? Sometimes you lose audio after a reboot (if you can that is)?

Oh what's that? Unless you have a Dell truemobile wireless card (Broadcom chipset) the Intel ones does not have working KEXT.

Sounds like a real powerful MacBook ever indeed!!

Next time, know what you're talking about before you make yourself look like a tool.

 

Here come the almighty Apple fan boys deriding the thread.

For the OP, ask yourself do you need a second laptop? I suppose you could have one acting as your desktop/home rig and then the other for mobile or around the house. If not I'd either buy it and sell it or help him sell it. I often find myself out numbered by my computers since I tend to impulse buy.

How is voicing an opinion thread jacking? I purchased my m1330 last August and recently switched to a MB. For myself, I much prefer the MacBook even though I spent many years calling Macs trash and referring to them as not being a real computer.

It's really ironic that you would make such a comment, especially since you yourself use a Mac (or so says your profile).

 

Because I didn't drink the Kool Aid when I purchased my Apple. It's a computer, not an extension to your male appendage. The OP asked what he should do with an extra laptop, not whether or not Apple is better than Dell.

 

XPS 1330: Solid-state drive available, higher specs available PERIOD, LED screen, easy gaming, nice professional look.

Macbook: Slow 5400RPM drive available only (yes I've owned one, yes it's slow IMO), low specs available, screen is so-so, gaming only in WINE or whatever w/ no dedicated graphics, looks plastic-like...

I've owned both, so I'm not a fan boy to either. Just my two cents. I like the MBP but they are too big for my taste.

 

You seem a little bitter. Perhaps you should have extended your appendage.

The OP should sell the second m1330. There, happy now? I suggested what he should do without saying whether Apple or Dell is better.

 

resell sounds like the best option in your case.

 

Reselling sounds like a good plan if you need some extra cash. A gift to someone close to you who needs a good machine is also a good idea. Personally, I think I'd use it to play with different Linux distros - if I could keep it away from my sons. LOL

 

I'm not bitter about anything. If I wanted to read Apple superiority comments I'd go to macrumors.

 

Evidently you are bitter because you're reading WAY too much into my comments. Nowhere have I declared Apple superior.

If you're referring to this comment....

I guess you're unfamiliar with what a tongue-in-cheek comment is.

Considering the dell costs about 50-60% less than macbook pro and if you configure yours right b4 ( that is include the dell wireless card, and the sigmatel audio beforehand) you order you will have a powerful macbook pro... I think you need to check out the forums at insanelymac.. ppl are actually getting better at the drivers-- doing a little research itll save you a lot of money and enable gaming with your new hackintosh and vistarded dual boot platform... When my m1530 arrives I plan to do the same thing--- it worked flawlessly with my alienware btw...

No reboot problems... even sleep works!

 

Give it to your girlfriend.( You do have one right? ;P)

 

I will put on a wig and dress and pretend to be his girlfriend for it

 

But will you perform favors though?

 

Don't do it. Nobody likes it when people take advantage of the mentally handicapped. Remember that.

 

He is not mentally handicapped, just fortunate a*s rich.

 

sell it to me, I need a second small laptop.

 

skills, you managed to start a thread which nearly turned into a mac vs dell war.
I would say sell it to me, but there's only one to go around.

I'm getting a dell, by the way, cos the macbook is way out of my price range. Bad luck, Maccy boys. They do rock though, even if I can't get one.
