Well the suspension is coming out in a month anyway, so I can live with a slight unevenness in the rear.

Now my Mazda 3 has the left rear lower by a finger width as well. This is annoying.

Yes, HDMI cables transfer a digital signal, so it really doesn't matter what kind of cable you use. The same goes for optical sound cables. However, if you're using older composite (yellow video with white and red sound), S-video, or component (R,G,B cables), then cable quality matters. I routinely get HDMI cables through Newegg.com for like $12-15. Now might be a good time to think about what kind of cable your computer monitor is using and whether or not you could be using DVI cables for a higher quality image

Sorry, I'm much more of a computer/electronics geek than a motor head... for now

Real PC desktops are where it's at I'm thoroughly convinced that a laptop cannot do what a real desktop can do for a reasonable price. That said, I am looking for a netbook for ultimate portability. I love my old IBM T42P (2.0gHz centrino, about 4 years old), but its time to move on, lol

I'm an architecture student and PC gamer who relies on computer hardware, so you can see where I'm coming from.

I might come out to the meet this weekend -- I have questions on my upcoming first oil change... lots of questions actually!

edit: Wow, just checked out coldflame's site... awesome work dude

dude i didin't say that. I just told you that i m going to get a lenovo but i think for myself that the mac is too expensive and i can't afford it. But u kno if apple do release a tablet laptop that is just like the iphone. i would cash out and buy that **** cause i totally agree that mac got the best touch phone and if they use the same thing for the tablet i know for sure they will do a good job. But for me right now it is just too expensvie for a laptop that i m gettin the same spec. I just disagree with the price. If the mac was 1000-1500 like what steve job promise, then i would buy one just for the hella of it and deleted mac os x and just install window xp but like jobs just got money hungry

if u want portable
check out the Lenovo u330 or the sony SR they are both 13" laptop and got dedicated 3470 ati video card which is decent to run some game. The laptop also switch out so u can save power from using the dedicate card or on board. They both weight around 4 lb and cost 900 dollars so it is cheap. Unless u want to get those small 7" - 10" laptop which are only 300-400 dollars. Lenovo s10, and dell and asus makes them and they are consider budget portable laptop that runs window xp or vista. Nower day laptop can run decent game. My bro used to have a dell that ran cyrsis on it at med setting using the 9400 nvidia graphic card so i dunno. I just waiting for one game "LEFT FOR DEAD" and that should run on most laptop.

ray that won't work due to the fact that the ink cart got serial number and also expire date and production date. Unless u can take the sticker out of the new one and put it back then you got a good chance but most retail store knows. Btw jerry, you can still return it if u open it. it is consider a item, all you tell them is that you don't like it or something like that and they will take it back. My friend used to work at target so i know most of the return policy
