    Hands-on: Sennheiser Cans of the Dallas Mavs

    to thecheif73, why should they give headphones to "more deserving" people? how will that benefit the company from a business stand point? they spend how ever much money giving the headphones to a nationally or perhaps internationally known sports entity and that will save them a lot of money...

    rate my new laptop

    haha, as soon as i got my hp laptop (dv2418ca) i took vista off. i spent 20 minuts with it and i just couldn't handle the frustration. There were too many useless programs preinstalled. Took forever to find the application to get rid of them. My boot up time for vista was.... aprox. a 1min. My...

    Think Pad T60..

    the t60 is packed with the latest tech. And i find ibm's to be exceptionally light compared to dell or hp. So.. if it is almost free, it'll be worth it. I doubt you'll be disappointed with the performance. Althought, the only problem i have with ibm's are their looks.. haha. Strictly business!

    If you are patient, go with the dell. If you aren't...suck it up and be patient =]

    Notebook graphics card doubt

    I would strongly discourage you to buy a sony laptop and lean towards the vostro. This isn't because i hate sony, its just the dell is customizable. And as for the price, you would be getting a lot more out of the dell for the same price that the sony is rated at. For the video quality, any...

    Making my Laptop into a Desktop

    hmm, assuming that computer store guys know how to convert a laptop into a desktop makes you JUST as worthless as they are. Laptops were never meant to be turned into a desktop. Now, knowing that you bought an alienware laptop tells me you wasted a **** load of money. Since you were willing to...

    CHEAP laptop

It comes with a 2.0 ghz core duo processor, 160gb hard drive and 1gb of ram. How ever, it also comes with vista...

    laptop...whats best company

    hmm, well all 15.4 inch laptops i've ever tried (dell, asus, acer) had lasted 2.5 -3 hours with music/ couple shows and some chit chattin.. im not sure if battery life is something you should set high expectations for. As for what viperabyss said.... im not so sure you can generalize dell's...

    laptop...whats best company

    it depends on what you're planning to do with it. If you need one to just do simple tasks like chatting and music/movies, i'd go for a simple dell inspiron. If you plan on playing lightweight games... i'd go for an asus or toshiba.. you could find a decent gaming one on newegg for around 1500...

    some help, please

    i too believe it is your onboard sound. and i also always recommend a soundcard. Especially with a set of bose headphones. Should never go sheap on sound card and pair em up with expensive audio equipment. You'll notice the quality upgrade too.

    Noise-isolating, not cancelling earphones

    uhh, which pairs of earphones are oem fakes? because i've bought two pairs of the sennheiser cx300 from this hongkong retailer on ebay. They are a great pair of earphones for only 5 buks cad. but the s&h brought it up to 23 buks CAD. anyway, i'd go for the cx300. Sennheiser never disappoints me...

    Archos MP3 player, video recorder is better than iPOD

    hahaha, well, i'd hafta say the ipod is the best looking mp3 player out there. I don't know what you are trying to do with this post though. If people truly cared about how much quality was packed into their mp3 player, they would of had switched by now.
