    $199 for the Fire – £200 or a bit less?

    So, it’s not W7 and you’re saying W7 is crap. OK, well we’re clearly not going to have much in the way of a sensible discussion then, are we?

    £50 and I’ll have it 😉

    Ok, in that case, £25 and that’s my final offer. I’m after a REALLY useless laptop to use as a media player 😉

    i think flash renderings going to be in the cloud, rather than on-device. Should make browsing nice and nippy

    Don’t think that would work. Saying you’re playing a Flash game in a 640×480 window. If it was “rendered in the cloud” then you’d have to download a 640×480 image 20 times a second. 😯

    Cloud rendering only helps for fairly static things like HTML pages.

    Anyway, back to the Fire, looks like it has potential. Can’t really think how big a 7″ screen is (yes, I know…). All the connectivity sounds interesting.

    So, it’s not W7 and you’re saying W7 is crap.

    No. Where did I say that?

    I’m saying I’ve heard it all before and been disappointed.

    Scaredypants, It’s a Dell XPS
    One of these I think
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-XPS-M1530-15-6-2-1-Mhz-Gaming-Laptop-8600gt-/170701448205?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item27be99640d

    320gb HD though, bigger than that one.

    No discs though, it works OK, but it really needs wiping and starting again and I can’t be arsed.
    £150 posted when I get my iMac.

    If you’re interested, drop me an email, (in profile) and I’ll give you some more details.
    To be fair it’s a nice looking bit of kit and lightning fast, but I bought it used off a mate, at less than a year old, and they’d lost the discs (if they ever had any)
    I reckon it needs W7 putting on it personally. Which apparently should sort it……

    Old man needs a laptop, and an (my) old copy of XP installed that would be great.

    First this thread became a running commentary on what Amazon’s up to in some gazebo, and now it’s become the let’s buy a knackered laptop thread.

    I’ve not seen a thread on here quite so spectacularly lose its way as this one has in ages. Well, minutes.

    Hate to break this to you PP, but iTunes sync is just as terrible on Mac OSX and it is on windows

    But as Graham says, iOS 5 does away with a lot of sync related issues (although you still need to use it to transfer photos etc, which is a massive pita).

    You can always mail pictures to yourself, then you won’t ever have to connect it to a pc. Or Simply upload to flickr or MobileMe iCLoud or whatever.

    It’s useful for certain “specialist” video sites, especially as it has a private browsing mode…
