When/What to Buy Given Haswell's Arrival

So far the Acer S7, Dell XPS12 are refreshed with Haswell, same old body and weight... Yoga, Taichi and Asus Zenbooks will probably follow suit. I'm sure the thin stuff will come later in the year.

When/What to Buy Given Haswell's Arrival

The haswell notebook news releases have been a big disappointment so far. Manufacturers are releasing new notebooks with the same old body as last year. Same weight, a factional gain in speed and power... nothing new. I'm sure there will be detachable hybrids later this year through next...

Hows this Power Supply?

This PSU sucks, it's loud. I just put mine in yesterday. I paid the same price after rebate so it's not even worth RMA'ing. Save yourself the money and look for something else. I plan on replacing the fan since I can't return it anymore (UPC removed).

Email - Program to notify me when I get mail

Amazon.com will not exchange a defective Sony Vaio

Hey, I'm done with this topic. This was more of an FYI. I was willing to take the 15% restocking fee hit and never shop at Amazon again... anyway, they came through by offering a full refund. Rest assured, I will never buy a high end item (especially notebooks) from them again. I just...

Amazon.com will not exchange a defective Sony Vaio

I called them twice and twice the person I spoke to could not help me because it was an expensive computer item. They forwarded an e-mail to the pc department both times. The next step is for me to wait for somebody to contact me via email. That made it even more difficult.

Are there any risks? I've always been employeed by the employer... I'm currently employed right now with benifits and all. The only compelling reason for me to switch to this new opportunity (if I get it) is slighly better pay and larger role as a systems admin.

I applied for a permanent position on careerbuilder posted by a Teksystems recruiter. He promptly replied (to my surprise) and offered to meet with me. Instead of going to their office like I'm used to (with other companies), we're meeting at a restaurant. Is this normal? I'm in the LA area.
