OK so bought a PC......Ughhhhh

***Cybergypsy*** · 03-02-2007, 04:20 PM

OK so most of you know i love my macs, well this is touch screen and because of my disability's it going to be much easier and love the look

Looks like AMD has a sweet new rig they're readying for January launch, and word on the street is Bill Gates wants to launch it personally. It's the IQ770 "Crossfire," the first mass market touchscreen desktop PC we've seen, surely good for taking advantage of Vista's integrated tablet functionality. The Vista Premium system, set to launch alongside Windows on January 30th, features a massive load of options including: 19-inch touchscreen, AMD Turion 64 X2 dual core TL-52 processor, 2GB SDRAM, 320GB drive, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600, WiFi, Bluetooth, integrated 1.3 megapixel camera, integrated FM and ATSC HDTV tuners, a DVD±RW / DVD-RAM burner with LightScribe, Pocket Media Drive bay, wireless keyboard, mouse, stylus, front media reader, and a crazy amount of ports (Ethernet, two FireWire, six USB 2.0, one with HP printer power Y-cable connector, 5.1 + digital audio out, IR out, mini-VGA, and inputs: FM coax, TV coax, ATSC, and two S-Video). It also features some new widget-like dashboard interface, featuring HP new SmartCalendar, which serves as a central point for virtual fridge notes and shared family calendars; as well as Photosmart Touch, a new image editing and printing interface. Expect to pony up $1799 - $1899 for this iMac killer in a couple months. Tons more photos after the break!

I'm sorry you had to sell it. I couldn't bear to do that. I'm getting a cheap laptop (probably used) just for school. I still loathe anything windows but that's what I'll be working on so I have to just suck it up and deal with it.

<- we need a crying smiley.

Oh jeeze.........IDK how you can live with yourself? You're a traitor to Jobs!!!

What you say about your mac holding it's value? Same is true with laptop PC's.......I know some stupid classmates of mine who bought used laptops for the same money as you can buy them brand new on sale.

**Yodums** · 03-04-2007, 03:19 PM

Shoulda sold the MacBook to me. I've been snooping around for one.

**Gonzo** · 03-04-2007, 10:36 PM

Congratulations I guess. I'm a little surprised you of all people are getting a PC.

I'm not sure how a touch screen is going to make it easier on your arm. I would imagine it would be harder since you generally have to keep your arm raised in the air and outward to use the screen. Hopefully it works out for you though.

Personally if you are having troubles with your arm I would have just recommended getting one of those roller ball mouses for the duration.

Let us know how you like it.

***Cybergypsy*** · 03-05-2007, 10:16 PM

I know this will last me 6 months .....but it really cool I can make sound notes....and stuff....

I will go back to mac :)

just got it today :)
