        This is fixed - 89 and free delivery. When we dropped pricing the system added freight. Not intentional.

        Fair enough, although they're rarely reliable, and often it's only as long as stock lasts. So it'd be nice to have confirmation from the rep.

  • nafe on 14/10/2011 - 14:41

    I'd consider it if it had a reaosnable screen… 1366x768 is far from ideal - especially when it has BluRay capability!

    • ballsofsteel on 14/10/2011 - 14:51

      Why do ppl insist on such a high resolution screen on a 15 inch?

      I have a Full HD panel on my 15.6 inch laptop and I personally regret it. I find that Icons and words are too small on the native resolution . The only solution is to up the DPI under windows settings which solves the problem. But then again alot of games and some apps dont work with the 150% increase DPI and you have to disable it manually under the programs properties and even then some components of the program will not have this setting disabled rendering Text to be blurry

      I reckon 1600x900 should be the max ress on a 15inch

      Just my 2 Cents of course

      • Withdr4wn on 14/10/2011 - 15:28

        As a developer, I use a screen resolution of 1680x1050 which is about right for 15" and reading text at normal height - however even I'm looking for 1920x1080 to see more "stuff" on the screen. I certainly could not downgrade my resolution (even 1600x900 would mean I lose 16% of my screen's height).

        You can always "lower" the resolution on a higher laptop, increase DPI (as you've stated) on a high-res screen but you can't increase the resolution on a low-end screen.

        For alot of people, 1366 x 768 is quite fine. I'd certainly hate to go back to the days of when I had 1024x768 with 3/4's of my screen full of toolbars.

        • CarbonTwelve on 14/10/2011 - 15:40
          +2

          I'm also a developer, and personally I prefer 1366x768 for a resolution for 15". To me the dot pitch is exactly what I'd want. Whilst you can lower the resolution if it's higher, it does blur it and certainly you can't say it looks as good as having that as the native res.

    Don't ever ever EVER buy from these clowns.. You're acting as their bank, as in, you buy something from them which they claim as in stock.. then they order it in from the money that you've paid to them.. I'm still waiting on a refund from months ago, and a mate bought 3 x 3tb drives from them.. and get this.. they arrived in an overnight satchet wrapped in a few flimsy rounds of bubblewrap.. a few of the drives now have SMART errors..

    And if you're still wondering.. they're a site sponsor for OCAU, which OCAU has now had to close the thread due to numerous complaints..
