[quote author=“turbogruen”]After questioning both the keyboard size and the buid quality, I ventured off to Circuit City. I played with the TR and I immediately adjusted to the smaller keyboard. The build quality and strength seemed no weaker than the tiBooks of yesteryear. Then a desktop icon drew my attention: Halo Trial. I double clicked and read, “Your Hardware Does not Support…blah blah blah.” I thought why not and clicked “Continue Anyway.” The game loaded up very quickly and before I knew it I was playing the Silent Cartographer. Despite the resolution only being 640*480 and the textures turned down to nothing, it looked pretty good. More incredibly, it was playable. Frame rates could have been higher but I can definately see myself at least playing single player. So either tonight or tomorrow night, I’ll be ordering a TRA3, whichever model has 1 gig, and xp pro. But now the question is to whom do I order from? Price must include the Accidental Damage, and of couse shipping. CDW looks nice and it offers a 2 year ADP as well as a 3 year. Sorry for long post!
First, welcome to the board. There is a large thread on TR ‘Deals’ so you can get an accurate feel for how much to pay. There is also a thread on the $99 512mb upgrade from Kingston…if you can’t find the 1GB TR your looking for.
What county in NJ are you in? I’m in monmouth, there are also a few other NY/NJ members.
