Not a good idea. The retina display means nothing but trouble with regards to Windows. Windows doesnt do well with really high resolutions. Don't expect any gaming at all either. The 650m isn't a terrible card, but if you put it under much stress, expect a lot of overheating. That chassis is just way to small to deliever adequate cooling.

Tldr: If you want windows, buy a native windows machine this time around.

Yea, I realize you aren't a gamer. Because if you were, you'd know better than to get an alienware. :p

I find it very ironic you mention Alienware. You see, Alienware is like Apple in some ways. You get one to look cool. You get one because its all flashy. But in all actuality, that translates to nothing when it comes to what matters, the guts of the computer. What is it with people thinking if a product looks cool on the outside, its automatically a great product?

I'll check out the review though, not that'll it'll change my opinion on the capability of the GPU.

Quality.

Macbook Pro: Good hardware + excellent design.

Random PC: Good hardware

I could buy a Hyundai Coupé for $1000 and put a v12 engine in it with 800 HP. Would that make it a good car? No.

I'm a design whore and nothing comes near a Macbook Pro when it comes to design and don't even try to tell me that a Sony Vaio is sexy. I will hurt you.

[Off-topic] slapshot30:
I guess that's up to you if looking cool is worth $500+ more than the windows equivelant. What do you mean by quality though? The Lenovo Thinkpad is ugly as hell, but the build quality is unmatched. When it comes to technology in general, design takes a back seat to performance. When those two are switched around, you end up with Apple, Beats, etc.

We both just have totally different views. 1/4 of the price premium of a Mac is the looks, and being part of the cult. That's a pretty big chunk of what you're paying.

Why do you care what other people think? :confused:

Yup, and OSX and the specs aren't bad either. And you can't just assume that if something is expensive for you that it makes it expensive for everbody else. I'm not saying it's cheap, but if i like it, i buy it.

I am staying objective. Looks just aren't that high on my priorities when it comes to technology. All I've been saying is that a Windows with the same specs as a Mac comes in at way cheaper, being less than 3/4 the price. That's a true statement, there's no way to be subjective about specs.

Actually, a better comparo would be an 800hp Supra--a tricked-out pc-- vs a Veyron--the Mac. I'd take the Supra all day, run circles around you, and know that any chick I picked up in the Supra has some common sense =p

Have fun with your over-priced beauty queen though, mang; somebody's gotta sleep with her, right? The alimony is totally worth it.

On a serious note knowing how much people spend on certain golf clubs on another forum that I'm on I really can't fault you in the end. There are definitely certain things I'll pay a premium for as well for aesthetics. Again, my major problem is Apple's business practices, not the product itself.

Please, allow me to retort.

I'd put my money on high-power Supra or Skyline from some of the Japanese powerhouses vs The Veyron anyday.

http://www.fastestlaps.com/cars/nissan_nismo_r34_z-tune.html

Feel free to look at some of the track times posted and look through the links if you want to see the other cars that have been beaten.

If you take a look you'll notice that Nissan ran faster times than a McLaren F1, multiple configurations of Lambos, Ferarri F360 and 458s, Audi R8s, and Lotuses.

The fastest tuned Supra just barely falls short of the Veyron for top speed, and with the Veyron's weight despite all it's specialty tricks it's not quite as capable on the track as some other supercars.

http://www.fastestlaps.com/tracks/top_gear_track.html

At Top Gear's Track: Veyron SuperSport has TWICE the HP of a stock 2011 GT-R, yet only beats it by ONE second. I'd say that with the money saved you just might be able come up with the tuning needed to make up the defecit.

Oh, and what do you know: Just below that the stock GT-R beat the stock Veyron by a second itself, again while boasting almost twice the horsepower and ten times the cost.

So yes, I still say that a tuned Japanese sports car v the Veyron is a fair comparison to tricked-out PC vs an Apple.

If you have evidence to the contrary feel free to post it and I will be happy to look it over, but do not ever call me an idiot. If I'm ignorant of something on a subject by all means show me where my information falls short, but to imply that my brain is incapable of understanding the facts shows IGNORANCE on your own behalf. Stupid, idiotic, or slow will never be words that provide an accurate description of my mental faculties, jackass.

[HTC One X] DarkDvr:
Another attempt at trying to get an external battery that works:

Vaas VM50 5000mAh Dual Port Rechargeable External Battery Pack w/ 6 Charge Tips

It's enough to charge 1 time, although you have to unplug it when charged.

Here's the biggest problem: it seems that if charger has less juice left than the phone battery, it starts sucking the battery out to charge itself.

Yesterday my phone had 46% around 1am at night. VAAS had 2 out of 3 lights on (so above 50%?). When I woke up this morning - my phone was completely drained, and VAAS had 1 light on.

Don't buy it, it's crap. You may get 1 charge out of it, and even then you can't safely leave it overnight.
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
I am having similiar issue with RAIKKO 5200mAh pack. When you plug it in without turning the charger on, it will look like it's charging, when it fact it will discharge (fast - something like 400mA even with screen off). The same happens when it runs out of juice - it will stop charging, switch off and start "draining" the battery.

When I tried this on my friends Desire HD, it said "charging voltage is too high" and refused to charge until I actually turned it on. So it is an error in both the charger and the phone...

I guess your charger has the same crappy chinese circuitry :-(
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
I've been successfully using the new Trent 5000mha external battery pack. I got it of amazon and the thing has been faultless in the 2 years I've owned it. The cells are starting to wear now but I can still charge my phone 3 time before re juicing is needed. I think it was around £13 so it was a bargain as well. I use mine to charge the one x ok, but my Samsung galaxy tab it keeps level , I think that machine need 2 amp to correctly charge.

The pack has two outputs, one marked iPad is 1amp and the other is 500mha. I've never had it back charge a from a phone. Just make sure you turn it on otherwise it won't charge the device - the red light come on but no charging happens.

could you add features like live oc, cpu frequency, cpu governor, i/o scheduler, BLN, blink, and other nstools features? we could all use a little simplification, right? besides, nstools is always running in the background consuming resources. i think init.d script is more efficient. could you consider adding this features in the next version?

[Android Themes] eboye:
I'm not a themer, but I'm a designer and I do a lot of Android UI design which includes slicing the images and making 9patches. In my workflow I always use PNGOptimizer to remove unneeded information from png files. I use PNGOptimizer which I find very usefull and easy to use.

I opened some of themes and almost every one of the were not optimized. I took the PNGOptimizer and cleaned all pngs and on theme that is 8.1MBs in size I have gained 0.7MBs in size. This is not only the filesize gain, but the theme is acting pretty much faster (by observing).

The app is pretty much straight forward, just drag and drop the png files, and it will optimize them in batch. It will give you the log, where you can see how many %s have you gained.

There is a settings view by right clicking on a window where you can set the desired cleaning process.

This app is Windows only, and it's free

http://psydk.org/PngOptimizer

I'm sure there are similar apps for OSX and Linux, but I haven't tested them as I don't use these OSs.

I just wanted to share the tool with you guys, and if I posted in wrong thread, I'm really sorry, and please move my thread to the appropriate one ;)
[Android Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
This is something I've always done for my themes and ROMs
[Android Themes] eboye:

[Android Themes] kcls:
I dislike when people use PNGOptimizer. I've seen a lot of people using it on MIUI lockscreens, and some themes (ZDune's MIUI for CM7, for example) and it makes them incredibly hard to edit, because it changes the PNG from RGB to index color mode. When you open the PNG in photoshop, it has a big thick black border around it, loses gradient transparencies, etc. I tried to edit a theme for my sister to make it all pink but found it impossible to do because all the PNGs were in index color mode. Oh well.
[Android Themes] Jumba:
You can always convert them back to 32-bit. ;)
[Android Themes] picard666:
paint.net is a free image editor which can do the conversion to rgb 32-bit if you want (and opens the files correctly, without the black border)
[Android Themes] kcls:
Thats true, I've heard that. However, Doesn't it save them with a non-transparent background? And even if it does save with a transparent background, batch editing a ton of images from a theme would take forever, having to open each with paint.net and saving them before I can edit with photoshop. I can't imagine doing that with 200+ png's.
