The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

A 500 GB, 6 GB RAM Laptop?

I was looking through a Best Buy Magazine yesterday and found this.



Forgive the quality since it was taken with a camera phone, but HP has been able to make a laptop that has a 500 GB Hard Drive and 6 GB of RAM.  How the hell can you fit THAT into a laptop?

Despite the price, having Vista and only lasting up to 3 hours and 15 minutes, I must say this, Way to go HP!

Maybe.  I'm not exactly sure.  I am planning on getting a Laptop for my brother for his birthday that's coming up in a few weeks.  After all, he does need his own computer and all that, plus a laptop would be best over a desktop since he is in college now.

However, I might just opt to take him shopping a few days before his birthday and have him pick one out, since I'll be off and all. :)

Still, I just wanted to point it out because I'm quite surprised someone pulled this off.  A few more months, maybe I wouldn't be so surprised, but today, wow!  We advanced this far faster than I expected. :)

I'm surprised at how fast things can progress technologically as well.

In the past month they've finally developed a 500gb laptop hard drive.  Alienware's have come with a maximum expansion of 8gb for years now....but who has $3,000+ to spend on a laptop?  I must say I'm impressed with this laptop.  Right now my best laptop has a 500gb hard drive and 4gb of ram.  I want to get one that can handle 8gb, but it's always been too expensive.  I'd love to get this machine.

I was just buying my college laptop and when I was customizing it, it gave me options for a 500gp harddrive and 8gb of RAM, I thought it was crazy.  Don't need nearly that much (it was an HP)
