I finally got around to ordering a new latop, I am really sick of using a desktop PC here due to the power going on and off so frequently on Koh Phangan. Even a UPS doesn’t cure the problem as quite often the power cycles so quickly the UPS just shuts down.So I have ordered myself an Asus GS2 gaming laptop, the reason I chose this model is due to the fact it has a 256Mb Nvidia 8600m GPU incorporated into it, so I will have DX10 and be able to run Vista Aero.

My friend is bringing it over from the UK with him next month when he comes to visit, I just hope my desktop lasts that long before it dies on me!
