    Nope. Pre-order means you get it pre-release date (the 16th), mine comes in on the 9th.

    So it's beta testing? ;) On the serious side, the headphones should also be really good. I have a lot of faith on AKG.

      But you can't surf on the web with such cars. (and you can neither go for a drive with such cars). :rolleyes:

      Oh, you can! I think my best was buying a car for £10, and selling it a year later for £10 to the guy I bought it off of...

          I don't have any - it was never important enough to me to take a photo (It would have cost half the value of the car to have the roll of film developed and printed!) It was a Simca (a French make that vanished - thankfully - in the seventies) but as to model? Not sure. Probably a "Elephanting 'orrible". It was a damn good car to drive in London: everyone got out of it's way as it was obvious it didn't care if it hit something, and nobody boxed you in. Or at least not twice. I'm reasonably sure it was insured.

              I'm feeling positively ancient with my iPhone 6 (the smaller one that fits my 5 cases), but it still does everything I need. And I'm writing this on a Dell laptop that I bought over a decade ago, running Windows 7. Honestly, I think I should consider therapy to see if they can cure my loss of desire to try bright and shiny things. Maybe there's a pill I could take. Do they make a Tryagra?

                Maybe when you get older, you get to appreciate the simple things in life more :-\

                  Actually, I've been told that I was one of the simpler things in life.

                    Btw. I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 7577 gaming notebook which (for a gaming notebook) was relatively inexpensive, and am very pleased with it so far. The older models seem to have had low quality screens, but this one has a newer IPS type Full HD screen.

                      Yeah, can buy expensive top end boxes for stuff but to a large degree the performance gains versus money you spend diminishes rapidly. I have recording studio, dev and video production boxes running old Dell Precision T3500s with single Xeon 3.2 ghz processor that I bought refurbished for $250. Bumped them up to the max of 24 gig memory, added expensive video cards where needed, some SSDs for boot & scratch and they do a great job for far less than I'd pay for newer boxes with more horsepower. I might get a little extra speed buying latest and greatest, but I'd be paying a heckuva lot more money. I'm big on best bang for the buck solutions.
