Superman Notebook

So it is time for me to buy a new computer. How do I know? I want one. The one pictured is the snazzy new Alienware Superman PC that I really want but cannot afford.

I do want something more powerful and considered getting a Macbook Pro, with the Intel Core-Duo processors. But I think I am going to go with an Alienware for their superior power, and lack of over heating problem. I will be keeping an eye out for some nice deals- in the mean time, you can let me know what you think! Later!

UPDATE: I was in Best Buy today (6/10) and saw This Gateway. It has better specs that most of the Alienwares I was looking at and it is 1/2 the price. I have always said Gateways were good machines- they fell off for a little but are now back on track. It looks like I may go with this laptop and it’s awesome specs. An added bonus, it has XP but is Vista capable….

    There were two notable things I did this weekend: spend it with my kids, as it was my wife’s weekend to work (she’s a nurse and must work one weekend per month), and build a series of clever automations using Apple’s Shortcuts app. I love using the Bear Notes app for most things, like quickly logging tasks….

    Initial Impressions on the Kindle Scribe

    Bycasabona

    Earlier this year, Amazon announced the Kindle Scribe — their competitor to the reMarkable 2. It’s more affordable, they had an initial deal for Prime members, and a good trade-in price for my Kindle Oasis. SO the $500 device got down to $238. I bought it. Here are my initial impressions.

    WordPress and .gitignore

    Updates have been added after the jump! In the coming weeks I’ll likely put a lot of my own personal code (as in, not code people pay me to write) in public repos on Github. A lot of my work is WordPress related so I’ll make a local repo at the root of some WordPress…

  1. $4,968.00…that is how much it would be if i got everything i wanted excluding software upgrades

  3. Holy Crapola dude, that Gateway is…SO cheap!!!

    I think I might get it. I’ve been looking around for a new laptop and I was considering getting a mac, but if i did I only really wanted the Macbook Pro because it’s like…really awesome. only 1,300 for something better than it though? wow.

  4. Alienwares are way overrated, that Gateway looks sweet. AMD cpu so there shouldn’t be much of an issue in regards to overheating. It comes with Media Center–if you didn’t notice. Maybe replace that with linux and it could be a sick machine… ;P
