    When people say sony hybrids, what do they mean?

    How do the aftermarket Sonys - such as these - compare to the real ones? I'd rather buy a few of the same size rather than go with a authentic package with a few sizes that I know won't fit well.

    getting a new harddrive for a laptop vs portable?

    I have a friend that lives on campus in Norman and we talk regularly about OK. We're both KU Jayhawks fans, haha. I keep telling him to go to the city to watch the Thunder, that team is on the rise! My avatar is actually from HBO's The Wire.

    OT - Zwole, are you an OKC Thunder fan by any chance or more of a Sooners guy? Kevin Durant is my favourite basketball player, would love to have the chance to see him live...

    getting a new harddrive for a laptop vs portable?

    The RAM is probably going to be more expensive than anticipated as it's using PC2700 SODIMM, which isn't cheap, especially since you'd need two of them. I'm thinking you're probably going to have to spend at least $90 after taxes and shipping for the upgrade. This one looks pretty good, you'd...

    getting a new harddrive for a laptop vs portable?

    So that's probably going to be close to $300 for the upgrades. I just saw a 17" LED laptop advertised at walmart for $398 after cashback with the following specs: Specifications: Intel Pentium Processor T4400 2.20 GHz 3072 MB DDR2 667 MHz 320 GB 5400RPM SATA hard drive 8X DVD Super Multi...

    getting a new harddrive for a laptop vs portable?

    How much is it going to cost to replace the LCD? If you need to upgrade all of those components, maybe it would be worth it to consider buying a newer laptop or a used one from a classifieds forum? That's what I'd personally do, as an IDE drive might not be worth much to your next machine and a...

    Tips on shipping to/from US and Canada

    Avoid UPS, use USPS. Gift it and understate the value. The recipient will probably be charged a flat brokerage fee of $5 from USPS, but that's much better than UPS, which wanted me to pay $139 for a non-gifted amp declared at $420.

    macbook pro upgrade sound please help !!!

    Since your MBP has optical output, which is pretty uncommon for a laptop, you might want to find a DAC that supports it - like the iBasso D10 - rather than using USB.

    IC: GTA/Mississauga meet at punkaroo's hip new place!

    I'd love to come, though I'm not sure how I'd make it as I don't drive. I live in the High Park area of Toronto, if anyone's planning on driving and I'm on your way, I'd appreciate a ride if at all possible. Would be awesome to test out some gear.
