how much did it cost you in total?

 

if you're not a gamer then you wont like the G15. One thing I want to point out is the split raised keyboards, as it turns out is not very ergonomic.

 

you better not be late again this morning or you're soooooooooooooo fired!

 

Dang...that keyboard IS pretty huge.

 

:werd:

i i could naver quite get typing down on them and my wrists always hurt afterwards.

 

And to everyone else who asked the price... It ran me $1160 for the computer and monitor, shipped, and after tax. After the ram return and upgrade, the real final total would be $1200.

Monitor was $279 before tax and shipping. About $320 after.


2 minutes :run:


It's huge cause the wristwrest is big and the G keys make the left side about 4 inches bigger... but I like it Just wont fit on many standard keyboard trays.

 

nice, thats a big step up from your old mac...

 

I type like 80 wpm on a standard keyboard but that involves lots of crossing over from one side to another. My right hand does a lot more of the work than my left. For some reason I only really type with a couple of fingers on my left hand and all of the fingers on my right so the right usually covers about 3/4 of the keyboard and the left is only doing a little bit of the work. For me then, the split keyboard really doesn't work so well because it's split in a place where keys on the left I generally will be hitting with my right hand instead. Although I guess I could use one of those split dealies if I wanted to train my left hand to pick up more of the work or something.

 

It's freakin fast. I get at least 60 fps in F.E.A.R. at 1024x768, all options turned to max except for AA (2x), AF(2x) and soft shadows off. In intese firefights with like 5 enemies at once, I've seen it dip to 40 h:

I can't wait to get the new RAM into it as well


But I'm not leaving the mac camp for good... I'm just waiting for the intel powerbooks, then I'll buy a new mac





The only thing that worries me is that I have rounded IDE cables, and the DVD-R drive is on a 24" cable, both of which conditions violate ATA spec. While they're twisted pair (each data is twisted with a grounded cable) and shielded, I dunno if I'll see corruption or not

 

your computer desk is sweet :irock:


how much was the keyboard?
