Hard-drive: 250 GB
Memory: 3072 MB RAM
Weight: 2,45 kg
and...XP-Pro

All up incl wicked German 19% taxes €855

I think the size and the weight (important cos i bike everywhere), the 3GB RAM, and the fact that it comes with XP is what made me do it

Also cool...I specified the long-life battery
Very nice decision right there!

50* spindle Maxell 16x DVD-R [RITEKF1...again. But I needed some more. ]

50* spindle Maxell 16x DVD+R [CMC MAG M01...again. I was so close to getting rid of it. ]

50* spindle TDK 16x DVD+R [DAXON AZ3. First timer for Daxon media, if you ignore the Sony media made by Daxon.]

10* DVD case Verbatim 8x VideoGard DVD-R [MCC 02RG20 ]

10* DVD case Verbatim 8x VideoGard DVD+R [MCC 003 :bigger:]

I believe that these 170 pieces of media make a nice [somewhat] addition.

Not something I bought, but I recently acquired some samples (6 discs) of Verbatim AquaAce hub-printable waterproof DVD-R (MCC 02RG20), from a Fishy Friend

They're so nice though, I'm loathe to use them

@Albert - more M01s eh? You poor, poor thing

Which is the same reason I still have 8 Panny TYG02 [7?], 9 Verbie VideoGardMCC 02RG20 [in the pack that I'd already opened], and 7 RICOHJPN R01...too nice to use.

That's a new look for the Maxell media. Well, not really, it matches the branding for Maxell media in Japan. At any rate, where'd you get it?
