Dropbox automatically syncs between my two computers which is what I like about it. Windows Live has 25GB free so I'll probably use that to store photos

That looks much better than my computer when I play the game :p
 
DropBox has indeed become an integral part of my life these days, it just makes things so convenient.
 
I have 3 pc's,quad core,i7 and an old dell optiplex gx280 SMT p4 H.T 3ghz 4gb ram and 915g crap (for business matters)...Just thinking to upgrade it a bit,thinking to buy 9500gt or ati4670 for it, Please tell me which psu will be the best for it (looking to get a 430-500 watt psu but don't know that is anything compatible with gx280 or not) and will 9500gt/ati4670 fit in it....??? as now I will use it for some hardware tests...that is why i am planning to upgrade the gpu
 
The price for buying an iphone outright is still the same though isn't it?
 
I wouldn't buy it on a plan cos I don't need to call people normally. I'm thinking of upgrading my 3GS (that I only got half a year ago) to the new one when it comes out.
 
Yea, that's why I didn't bother with the iPhone 4. I know Apple usually refresh the line every year plus upgrading to the iPhone 4 meant paying an early resign fee of $1million and being locked in for another 2 years.

I went on the cheapest plan 'cause that's how much I was using a month on prepay anyway.
 
I'm looking to buy a laptop because at times it got annoying looking for a computer to use at uni in the first semester, but I'm not really sure on a few things.

I've eliminated the 15.6 inch (and bigger) and the 10.1 inch (and smaller) ones, so that leaves me with either the 11.6 inch or a 14 inch ones (or other ones between there, but I think they're the major two measurements).

I guess the main thing I'm not sure about is in terms of graphics. It obviously doesn't need to be able to play something like Battlefield etc, but I'd like to still be able to play games like ICC.

Price range would be somewhere between $500 - $1000 (NZ$). I've been in and had a look in Dick Smith's, and these where the only three that really fitted what I was looking for.

I know this is a pretty general question, but does anyone with a greater knowledge know of one that you use that would suit what I'm looking for, and what are your thoughts on the three above if you want to take a look.
 
For uni a 13/14" is the best size I find, any bigger and it's just annoying to take around, while you need a decent sized computer to type on.

I wouldn't go for the first one - it has a much inferior processor and only 2GB of memory, whereas you'd want 4GB on windows 7. The last one only has 2GB of memory as well. But then again the one with everything is of course the one with the highest price.

They all appear to have integrated graphics but it should be good enough to run ICC - don't take my word for it.

Basically what the more expensive one has over the slightly less expensive one is a slightly larger hard drive, a slightly faster processor and double the RAM.

I'm not sure how Windows 7 runs on 2GB of memory though and I've just realised that it comes with a 32-bit OS anyway so you wouldn't be able to take advantage of all that memory anyway...
