As of now, my new laptop is being built. Hopefully I will receive it within the next few days so I can get back to Wetpainting full-time.The specs are in blue font on my profile in case anyone is curious...its gonna be twice as fast as my previous one. |

Mine is necessity since the graphics card in my old one died out on me. The one weak link out of all the powerful hardware failed.

"Mine is necessity since the graphics card in my old one died out on me. The one weak link out of all the powerful hardware failed."That stinks. Its always a stinker when a computer/laptop dies out.. because it costs a pretty good amount to replace it. What kind you buying? |

It has the fastest mobile processor yet to be released from Intel.The processor family has only been out since about June/July 2010 |

"It has the fastest mobile processor yet to be released from Intel.Nice! I like it. It probably costs a lot. |

"Just under $2,000"Oh wow. That's a lot. Probably a good deal for how good its going to be though. |

I had hoped that the Inspiron 1420 would have lasted another two years, but I guess the constantly evolving software was just too much for the 128MB graphics card to handle.This time I have a 1gb graphics card so I shouldn't have as many limitations. |

Dell computers do not last long before they start aggravating you. At least in my family.

I'm getting the Midnight Blue back color, just like with my old computer.I had another Dell and it still works today with no major problems. |

Well looks like my laptop has finally shipped. It should be here sometime tomorrow so I will finally be able to get back to Wetpainting again.In the meanwhile, I will be testing out Internet Explorer 9 beta. |

It also seems to support Wetpaint a tad more than Firefox 4 does. IE9 actually shows the layout zones properly. I think Wetpaint will still need to redo their platform to fully support both new versions, but at this point IE9 now supports more Wetpaint features than Firefox 4 does. |
