What's so good in Windows 7 wor...a lot of softwares not compatible yet wor...

Lol. Thx anyway. I'll be paying a visit to lyp soon, and will stick to dell studio 15 if there is no better deal there.

I have always been curious...what's FreeDOS?

no OS provided.

Just following the trend, although i dun like microsoft that much. I'm planning to get win vista with free upgrade to win 7, and upgrading to win 7 only after some time.

why not get it after 22? all should be win 7 already.

Because i'm thinking of using win vista first, until everything settles into place, then only i upgrade to win 7.

most of them need to pay shipping except dell iirc.

What do u mean by dell iirc ? Do u know how much is the shipping cost?

I remember dell will send the upgrade by them, not by microsoft, so no need to pay shipping.
shipping would be around $19?

I've just checked on dell's website. We'll have to pay for the shipment charges too. But the exact price is not mention. Guess i'll have to think twice then.

But since major laptops manufacturing companies most probably will be releasing new laptops together with the release of win 7, so i guess i might be able to grab a laptop with a lower price. what's your opinion?

And btw, why is i7 such a hot topic?

there's might chance for lower price, but there's chance to discontinued the previous series.
So buy when you need the laptop

well, i7 can be considered as the most powerful cpu, so now come to mobile platform.
but not really suitable for gaming. Video editing and other works get the most benefit from i7.

Icic. Yup, I totally agree with u. Now my heart longs for a new laptop, so i think i should get one. Buying laptop would be much easier if there were more companies providing websites like dell's.

Thx for telling me that. But i7 is still very expensive.

new technology mah

Where did you get that info? Most drivers have compatible Win 7 versions and IIRC almost all software I've tried installing on the RC has been done without a hitch.

it can even use vista driver ^^

it's new intel mobile cpu

Sorry. error...I mean the programs actually. Like some players or some chatting program.

which chatting programme u using?

Well, Win 7 have XPM (XP Mode)...when you have problem installing apps/programs with 7, can always opt for XPM ...should be no problem installing a new/old apps with 7 ...

btw, i think all players/chatting programs runs well with 7...
