    Excellent taste about cars! My favorite too. Love the simple plain design.

    The LG P330 is gorgeous, there's almost no bezel and it's as sleek as hell. How did they fit that giant IPS screen and a GT 555M in a tiny 13.3" frame, AND make it look good at the same time?

    Me want. Must cost a fortune though.

    Also, I don't share your taste in cars.

    From what I've just read, there's mention of ₩1,364,000, which equates to about £700-£800 which is by no means overly priced. I would expect it to be a good bit more expensive outside of the asian market so you might expect to find it for £1000, but that's still a very good deal imo. We'll just have to wait for more info.

    I personally have a soft spot for the old Aluminium Macbook pro's. Although I completely despise Mac. You have to admire their cheek, though.

    I thought the Sony Vaio F series was a sexy looking too:

    I think I may have an Aluminium fetish.

    Best looking laptops IMO are the Alienware M18x and Asus G73. I also loved the look of my Vaio Z back then.

    I gotta admit that LG P330 looks cool as well.

    Aluminum finishes are very attractive. I always prefer a slim form factor for my laptops.

    I am a Porsche fan...

    ^^ That looks like a nice hatch there. Wish that companies sold more of these things here in the States. Here's we're stuck with crap like this:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I sort of like the Nissan Versa though, since it has some awesome head/leg room and truck space. Only problem is that the engine is so weak and the styling is...questionable. I think it's borderline nice-looking/ugly-looking, but I'm waiting to see the refresh for the hatchback (sedan version already looks nicer than the old):

    [​IMG]

    (I almost bought this though >.>)

    we're spoilt for choice here for hatches, have to be as fuel is expensive and distances smaller, so no need for big expensive to run monsters! :)

    can't buy mine as it is there though, didnt come from Renault with 300bhp, stripped and caged up!lol!

    anyway back on topic, laptops are pretty yeah? lol! i do like the Samsung series 9 and the new toshiba Z830 as well.....in fact i think i just like thin and light notebooks and ultrabooks :)

    The P330 doesn't have IPS. It has a TN 1366x768 panel. Apparently i5 version costs ~ $1300.

    Everybody's waiting for the IPS version...

    But LG HQ has no set plans for when they would use an IPS panel, although this laptop was advertised and touted as for having an IPS display.

    Really.. LG. There's just crappy marketing right there. If they had never mentioned IPS from the start, TN itself would have been a steady seller.

    But due to the fact they advertised that the IPS model was coming, everyone is waiting out for the IPS but which now seems to have no ETA.

    But again, LG group itself is going down the drain as well.

    On a different note, Asus's prettiest laptop was pretty fugly while ago.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    EEWWWWW. Fortunately, it got a makeover

    [​IMG]


    I'm also hoping the P330 makes it's way overseas. If they stuck one of those 28nm 7000 series GPUs inside, and gave it decent speakers and a sheet battery, it would be close to the mythical "perfect" laptop.

    Also, this is a real American hatchback. Yes, here in America, we've found a way to turn a hatchback into a gas guzzler.
    [​IMG]


    And privatejarhead, you should play the PS2 AC games. AC4, 5, and Zero were awesome, but I didn't care for AC6 much.

    Already have ;) 5 has the best story imo, Zero has a similarly good story, and 4 introduced me to the AC series. 6 has the best graphics so far, and was a good game to play (I have the AC6 special edition w/joystick).

    I actually wrote a story revolving around Larry Foulke after the Belkan War. Never finished it though =/

    As for that hatchback, BOOOOOOO! Versa is the best hatch in America currently being sold imo.

    Same here, AC4 was my first AC game, and Zero and 5 had my favorite stories (I would read your story) but Mobius 1 in AC4 was just a robot :). ACX was fun too. Dang good series, even if few people know about it.

    Also, the Fiat 500 found it's way over here to the US. These dam things are everywhere in Europe, and now Jaylos driving one. At least it looks good with her in it.
    [​IMG]
    It kinda looks like the P330... See, I'm not getting off topic.

    Well, here's a link to my old FanFiction account where I originally posted the story (and others), though I've gotten The Man Behind the Red Wing published (along with other stories in my old literary club) on Amazon as a hardback. Didn't want to post that since it contains my real name (not keen on connecting my real life to my virtual life ;)).

    There's a Fiat 500 here on campus and it looks to be an improvement to our current lineup of hatches, but I can't see myself driving in it since it looks a little feminine.

    Dang, you play C&C generals too. I'm gonna go dig up my PS2 and download the old C&C remix mod now. That Zero Hour CD is somewhere around here, and AC Zero is too...

    ^What Intel is that?

    The Fiat 500 is a little too feminine for me. Not my cup of tea.

    Here's the hatch sitting in my driveway.

    I really like the look of my Vaio SA, but I don't think it's perfect. I really love the new Vaio Z's! That would be my choice if money was no option :D

    But all in all, there are a ton of great looking laptops out there to chose from!

    M6600, its classy, not flashy, and its a monster. Alum top with the dark gray.

    I've had everything from inspirions, to HP, to XPS M1710, to Alienware, to Studio, and at the end the Precision has finally fit me as an almost 30 engineering . .

    The others were nice, but to flashy, I guess great at the time?

    this whole post is very very subjective.....

    I like the look of the mac series, but I also love the aluminum top on my timeline with the olympic symbol on it in raised aluminum.

    but I also love the look of the first dell xps....that was sweet.

    I don't really know how a gamer can effectively use that small touchscreen though. Most gamers tend to use a mouse anyway, and would probably be too busy looking at the screen to look down at whatever information is provided on it.
