No, it really doesn't.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

is that why they also look like the laptops a marine would have on the fucking war-front in iraq? holy casing, batman...

lenovo owners must feel like yuppie bankers in the 1980's, the aesthetic is practically the exact fucking same

my vaio and macbook are both sexy, and have both been dropped, beat, hit, scratched etc. it's not as if any laptop that isn't covered in 5 inch kevlar is going to break like a pane of glass.

Opinions are opinions. But I do not want OSX, Bling Bling chassis that gets scrached more easily and I absolutely do not want glossy screen. Its not like I haven't tried them all myself...

Depends. If your PCA Invertor goes, there goes your LCD screen if you can't find replacement parts. Happened on one of my "extended use" laptops.

I'll buy a Samsung 2233RZ 120Hz LCD.

This finally changed my mind about my 60Hz monitor, I want the best.

If I have too much time, I might write a long article about micro-stuttering and whether the 120Hz could solve it.

I still don't see the appeal of the 120hz monitors yet though. Sure in the freeze frame shots you can notice the difference and the picture does look a bit sharper but overall you don't notice it that much for the extra price increase.

I on the other hand am looking to buy an Asus VK266H:

Anyone had any first hand experience?

Okay, pretend to be surprised if you want, but Facebook and PlayStation 3 are coming together, sort of. We saw the tiniest bit of teaser last week via leaked photo, and now we've got details and a release date. Users will have the option of sending status updates for PSN purchases and Trophies whenever the user syncs up the account to the PlayStation servers, and developers can now integrate automatic updates when certain game events occur, similar to what we saw with the recent Uncharted sequel. Unfortunately, some of the very basic functions you'd come to expect from Facebook apps, such as writing your own status updates, aren't there yet. Hopefully we'll be seeing more integration sooner rather than later, as the company's noting this is just the beginning of the integration with the social network. Integration hits with firmware 3.10, which as we heard from a previous Sony Poland leak is this Thursday, just one day after Xbox Live's Facebook integration debuts (how very convenient, indeed). Also in the update? New photo navigation and PSN gamer card options. Video after the break.
