Purchased a Voodoo

Howdy, (Hi Gnomecop.) Appreciate all the advice early on in my quest to get a laptop for my wife for Christmas. I had looked at the Dell and IBM (R50P and T41P) which most around here had comments on. I was eventually directed to look at Voodoo and am now glad I did. Like Gnomecop, I got...

My wife's Imola Orange with Klipsch speaker system arrived today. It is simply a piece of art. Gonna take a while getting up to speed without much documentation but she'll have this beautiful piece of furniture for her office for a long time. Twenty-one days from order to receipt: included the...

iPod vs. iRiver IHP-120

Sorry to belabor the point but after deciding on the new M:355 for the wife, I gotta make a decision on a player for the college kid. She's got usb 2.0 on her Inspiron 8000 but I could use some feedback on which is better: the iPod or iRiver. Sorry to make this so difficult.... delta

Ipod's

Wow - many responses. She's running an 8K Inspiron laptop right now. SHE wants an ipod for whatever reason but I have seen the Dell machine, as well. Firewire? Huh? USB I know. Thanks, Delta

Ipod's

Forgive me if this is not the proper forum. While I'm awaiting my wife's new Voodoo M:355, the college kid is hitting me up for an i-pod to load all her music on. Can anyone recommend the optimum way to go here? I am at a complete loss. My idea of music is Rhapsody with a playlist filled with...

After all the angst: Voodoo M:355

I must say that so far the feedback and response time to my queries has been excellent and very personal. I am quite impressed. They are laying out the process to me quite explicitly and unless it's all smoke and mirrors, they are out to excel. If the finished product is as good, I will be back...

After all the angst: Voodoo M:355

What a long strange trip it's been. While trying to determine if I was going to get my wife an IBM R50p or Dell 8600, I got turned on to Voodoo. To make a long story short, my wife will soon be the proud owner of an Imola Orange, tattooed, M:355 with all the bells and whistles. What the...

R50p go bye-bye??

To make my decision process more difficult, I see the R50p is not listed on the IBM sale site any more. Anyone know if this is temporary? Dave

Sound and wireless: Dell vs. IBM

Pennstate, That's a fair statement but, still, a tinny sound can be annoying so if the sound is "better" - comparative term - then I want to consider this. Not looking for Bose quality, but if posters have developed an annoyance with the IBM then I'd like to know. Thanks for the reply, and...

Sound and wireless: Dell vs. IBM

I've kind of narrowed down my search for a laptop for my wife to the Dell I8600 or IBM T41p or R50p. I have read on here that the IBM sound is low quality. Can anyone attempt to qualify that statement as regards the Dell 8600 as compared to the IBM's I have mentioned? I assume that through...

R50P: DVD recordable or other

I see the price for the R50P came down. Wanna get one. However, for my wife to: put pictures on DVD's, watch movies, play CD tapes, record CD tapes - is the DVD recordable 2X the way to go? Also, if I want her to have great wireless, should I upgrade the IBM a/b/g to another? Want this to be...

As to what to get: Dell vs. IBM

So far, only $200 on the R50, top of the line, but the sales rep said she'd talk to her superviser about something better. Imentioned the 20% and while I didn't get it, she didn't seem all that shocked by the figure. A work in progress...I'll keep all posted. Dave

As to what to get: Dell vs. IBM

Hey, ultrawide, thanks. As a matter of fact, just flew back to the Cape to go to work today for awhile and am near a kiosk in Orlando, anout an hour away. I was thinking about going to one of their several kiosks there and checking the 8600 out. I also want to try to learn about the WiFi "hot...

As to what to get: Dell vs. IBM

Thanks, Tarfin, and others: Tough to break ol' habits. While this is first laptop for me - I did get my daughter an Inspiron 8000 when she went to college - we are strictly Dell laptop types. All in all a pretty good experience but there have been problems. Disappointed to hear Dell...

As to what to get: Dell vs. IBM

Hi folks, new guy here. Getting my wife a top of the line laptop for X-mas and while I was originally leaning towards another Dell - 8600 - I have been mulling over the new T41p or R50p from IBM. I've always wanted to go that route on my many desktops for myself and the kids but have always...
