I was given a check to buy a laptop for work related projects. Did I undermine myself buying the one I described at the botton and I could have gotten a better one? I was somehow lenient on the company's pocket book.

T61 Laptop - Core 2 Duo T7100/1.8 GHz Centrino Duo - 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD - CD-RW/DVD, WLAN : 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, TPM-fingerprint, SmartCard, Vista Business, 14.1" WXGA+, Docking station for T60/Z60M laptops.


Price ---> $1,513.00.


I already bought it and removed the Vista OS and replaced it with XP.


I hate laptops and carrying them around.

Fiiri yaarow, I can get you the same laptop for $500 from one of my people, the rest of the money we can split two ways. Maxaa ka gabta?

80GB HDD for $1513...

I have 320GB HDD and even though its a Desktop not a laptop, it cost half that price and came with all the perks.

Otherwise you can get a custom one with the same specs for under $1200.

Ismahan, I should have known, LOL@ONE OF YOUR PEOPLE


Paidmonk.

I had to purchase the laptop from CDW which has a contract with our company. I wasn't given a free hand. Also, the docking station and the configuration on the laptop made it that bit more expensive. It is a free laptop for me anyway, costed me nothing. And 80GB HDD is more than enough for what I will do/work on the laptop.

Gamadid, that's a decent laptop. Lenovo (formerly IBM's laptop division) makes quality laptops. In the future, I would suggest you read the reviews of any major electronic product you intend to purchase. Just google the name of the product plus "review." Fortunately, the reviews of your laptop are encouraging.

Arabman, yea, I should have done that, The Lenovo T61 is what I bought. It is actually faster than I thought it would be.

Gamadid if you're talking US dollars man you could have gotten a much better deal.

You should have talked to me. I will not even try to make some commission like Ismahan is trying to do.

Why do all somalians Buy freaking PC when MAC is easier to use and better when ur a student or for work.

Gedo-Boy, This was a rip off then? you guys weren't around when I needed a hand though, and it didn't occur to me to ask for help at the time. It was last week.

The resourcefulness of somalinet is clouded by the sheer number of political prostitution going on around.

Welcome back saxib. May be you should trade that pic with Siyad Bare one or Barre Hiiraale One

Welcome back bro.

Gama is such a pretentious chap, walaahi, its hilarious!

Gamadid,

I am taking a break from Somali politics it is too dirty for me


I am currently learning about WW2 and I have just recently learned about the massive contribution of the Soviet Union to defeating Nazi Germany.

I am interested currently in Stalin and the rise of the CCCP.

I guess in US curriculum we have been brainwashed into beleiving that D-Day and Battle of Bulge was the beginning and end of WW2.


I wouldn't mind if the Nazis lost after the UK capitulated.........those guys never win a fair fight.

Stalin was a sissy. I rather have the picture of hitler than stalin. Did u know that - stalin and his weak soldiers were saved by a tremendous tsunami of winter when Hitler went matching to over take his country?? He was an evil who made his people think he was a God. He let people die of starvation in the rural areas. I would not pick him as a hero at any cost.Hitler to me deserves respect and at least heroic accolades. At least he had awesome military prowess, and was ready to fight like a man. Stalin--appealed to his citizens to join him to fight, for the first time he showed his people he was their equal and called them brothers and sisters, before he was a God! How ridiculous! What a sissy!

^ GedoBoy, It is worth to note Russia's stellar contribution to WW2. They suffered the highest casualities and were defeated by the Germans in the beginning of the War. The germans were at the gates of Moscow when their luck changed and they were beaten back to Berlin. Troops from Siberia came in trained in Winter warfare and Stalingrad was the bloodiest scene. Americans were pus-sy-cats, they always brag about how brave their soldiers were when in every round they were soundly beaten. The yankees were not ready for war. There is this documentary showing on PBS called "The War", try to catch it if you can.

Anyway, good history. And I agree, somali politics corrupt the soul. Even if you vow to stay on the sidelines, sometimes you get involved. Meel laga wada waalan yahay hadaa timaadid adigana waa waalanee sax?



Basra,

You are the expert who perfected "pretentious" living to an art form Go play with your dolls sweets.

Gamadid,

I don't want to watch 'The War' b/c it's most of the same thing I want to learn about the Soviet contribution.

In fact, I think it is the British who instigated a 2nd front for Germany. I am investigating this.

[quote]Stalingrad was the bloodiest scene.[/quote]

Some say the battle for Moscow was much worse.
