Newegg problems

Are all decent laptops > $1000????

Hi - I'm in the market for a new laptop, but am becoming rapidly frustrated concerning the prices. I don't need a desktop replacement, although I would like something with a little muscle. I'm undecided on a strictly Win laptop vs a MacBook Air or Pro. Use wise, I'd like something...

Looking for 27" monitor....questions about brands

Thanks for the quick reply - I will check out Samsung tonite. Does anyone know how many companies source the panels to these monitor manufacturers? I mean, I assume there are only a handful of companies that actually make the panels themselves. If that is the case, then alot of these monitors...

Question about running 4x4gb on SB

Hi - I am building a new PC. Core i5 2500K, Gigabyte GS-Z68XP-UD3 motherboard and I bought 8gb (2 x 4GB) of G.Skill Ripjaws PC3 12800 w/9-9-9-24-2N timings. The ram was only $30, and I decided I might as well put another 8GB in for that money. Anyway Newegg only has the G.Skill...

Buy new iPhone 4S or wait....
