    i have purchased this thing as well for my mother (16GB wifi). i am sick of fixing her computer when all she does is writing emails, surfing the web and taking photos with her camera. perfect device for non-tech people

    I've bought this primarily for my mum and dad too! Since I'm at work for most of the day, I'll only be using it for a short while in the late evening when I'm back home and a bit on the weekends.

    Is there anything out at the moment that really needs the 6870? I mean my 5870 isn't breaking a sweat with anything yet

    It's a big step up on my old GeForce 8800GT though

    Seldoon182 should be interesting to see what it can do!

    Hey, did I miss something or did you not follow the mandatory rule about that two Mapcorians need to have a picture taken _together_ if they meet up?

    Shyth! Apologies. I need to make another trip to Norway. Skjalg, you need to drive down to Oslo S again!

    Normally, I'm the one behind the camera but I was forced into getting my photo taken. D: This was from last month when I visited Norway (and met Skjalg!)

    Is that the Kone+ ? I used it for a week. I quite like it, but it is really expensive here! ;o

    Quote from twiz

    I got a Samsung Syncmaster 2494 24" monitor last black friday for $190 off newegg... Couldn't be happier with it. Unfortunately it seems like they've phased out the 2494, but its specs are nearly identical to this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6824001388A bit more expensive.. but if you're patient you'll find it on sale somewhere for probably around the same price.

    And there are 2 different contrast ratios... Dynamic and static.

    I won't explain them, wikipedia does a better job:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_ratio

    My samsung monitor has a 50000:1 dynamic and 1000:1 static. That other samsung I linked has a 70000:1 dynamic and 1000:1 static. The asus you posted has a 20000:1 dynamic and 1000:1 static.

    Also, it seems like there is some discrepancy in how contrast ratios are tested... like there is no real standard for it. I feel like contrast ratio and refresh rate are things best left to actually seeing the monitor in person. Looking at monitors/tvs in a store, sometimes I'll see a screen which has significantly better contrast(to my eye) which has a lower contrast rating than one with worse contrast(again, to my eye)... if that makes sense.

    Display More

    The twiz is right! Do not go by dynamic contrast ratios! They mean nothing! If you have a monitor that does like 400:1 or 600:1 static contrast ratio, that's pretty good. Most netbooks do like 140:1 and so on.

    If you're looking for a good monitor, Dell Ultrasharp U2711 or U2411. Someone buy me one!

    Niceee CJ

    Yeah I really like it. I acutally prefer the keyboard over the on-screen keys. I think it makes it a lot easier to type with the physical keyboard. The menus are fine to me. what do you think?

    Yes, I use the onscreen keyboard only for short SMSs and stuff. For e-mails, I'm always on the hardware keyboard. I've also setup my personal and office mail on it, and it also picks up the calendar syncing settings automatically which is great! If you haven't, do it!

    Here's a few apps I think you should try -

    Twidroid (Twitter client)

    AndChat (IRC client)

    Nimbuzz (all-in-one instant messenger)

    Astro (file manager that can access network shares!)

    Barcode Scanner (to scan barcodes and use those QR codes to quickly download apps / visit sites)

    Astrid Tasks (to-do list with calendar syncing feature)

    Layar (augmented reality)

    My Tracks (for GPS)

    Opera Mini 5

    Google Sky

    TaskPanel (task manager to close unnecessary services/apps)

    And....for wallpapers, make them a resolution of 960x854 px ( I use 3 of those virtual desktops)
