That's easily fixable. Mine won't even boot.

I will come round and boot yours...if you give me a solution to my crashing Shockwave. Cheesy

Well Intel have announced Ivy Bridge this morning, so hopefully the Sandy Bridge chips will come down in price a bit over the next week or so.

I was going to keep it for spares.

Bump.

I've chanced my arm on a refurb Samsung Series 3.

i5, 4GB DDR3 RAM and 640GB HDD.

Hope it's ok when it arrives.

Anyone got/had a 17" laptop before? Are they a bit too big/cumbersome?

I've gone for a deal that was too good to refuse, but worried it's going to be a bit big and heavy.

I have had one before... as i don't rellay use it for travel purposes it was fine. I doubt if i had to lug it about on a train commute I'd have been a fan, but for lap or desk-based use at home it was fine.

Cheers. Mine'll mostly be used at home, so should be ok.

I found the 17" Fujitsu Siemens laptop I had very cumbersome to use even at home (although not on a desk) and was pathetic for travelling with.

Although I have the same issues with my 15" Dell laptop when trying to use it on trains or planes.

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
