iPad 2. I lol'd.
oh shush, you'll upset the other Dustin.
Doesn't matter. I just bought a 17" Macbook Pro. I officially love Sandy Bridge as a CPU architecture. Watching a 1080p movie with ZERO CPU usage... is magnificent.

That is what I bought instead of an iPad 2.

Windows users managed to do that ages ago, even with Core2Duo + GeForce 8400GS $100 combo.

Indeed, the load is shifted to your GPU instead. You have been able to do that on a Windows based OS for quite some time now, it is also possible on a fair few flavours of *nix.
It is a software thing brah, not hardware.
Leave it to Apple fanboys to be excited about features that are so trivial and standard to the rest, for a fraction of the money.

I guess the whole subculture of shiny design that Jobs created has infected people's ability to reason.

I wouldn't mind having a Mac though. That means I could sell it and have 2 brand new computers that can do 4 times as much each.
No. It's actually a hardware feature in Sandy Bridge that does H.264 encoding/decoding on a dedicated chip on the die itself. It does it in Windows and Mac as well.

The whole machine is just crazy fast.

I was actually looking at the Xoom, BB Playbook, LG G-Slate etc. but I'd rather stay with a company that has great hardware, software, tech support, and that doen't have a chance of going under (RIM).
Samsung UE40C6510 LED TV



My first ever bought TV! Great images, though I've quickly discovered, not perfect, since it suffers from 'clouding' and 'flashlighting' when presenting a dark image in a dark room. I thought LCD's were beyond this kind of thing by now...

The metal ring doesn't really go with anything else in my interior so this one fits better.

Post pics with the rims on.
