THey do indeed look rather good :) Bit pricey though. Gonna wait for some reviews of the nexus 7 but do like the idea of windows based tablets. I like the look of the samsung offerings but every review i read claims they are let down by rather cheap materials. Other than that i'd have bought one. But figure i'll wait till january when there are a whole slew of new ones out and with january sales :)

I was talking about the price of the MS surface. They are intentionally matching price with apple, so as you can imagine, not too cheap. In my mind that is. For £400 i want it to suck my cock. £100 more and that is car insurance for a year. These days i have to think about what better things my money can be spent on. Don't have any real use for a tablet, would just like somthing i can have on my lap while i'm watching a film on the tv. Want a laptop as well, but i like the form factor of a 10" tablet and the battery life, but for a tablet it would ideally need to have the abilty to hook upto a tv which i think the surface does, although could very likely be wrong on that one.

As to screens, i've only ever had one broken LCD and that was because someone deliberately crushed my laptop, had a touchscreen phone for 5 years, and not in the most easy of environments, i.e running around with knives and heavy boxes and you name it, and i've yet to evens cratch the screen, think i'd be fine.

FYI, new nexus 10 has a 2500x1200 such silly resolution. Looking forward to seeing some reviews on it.

It'll bottle-neck gaming mate and massively.

I've just got myself an 'XFX HD6870 Dual Fan' model brand new for 100 notes (bargain).
One of these bad boys.....

placa-video-hd6870-xfx-hd-687a-zdfc-radeon-hd-6870-1gb-256bi_MLB-O-192051593_7752.jpg

I have an 'Athlon 64 x2 3.2 Ghz' (fastest Athlon 64 released) and 4 gig of RAM, I have overclocked the card but even at factory settings the rest of my rig can't keep up with it.

I took it round to 2 of my pals who both run Phenom quads (one faster than the other) and also 4 gigs of RAM, although both showed a huge improvement over my rig even they couldn't run 1080p with max game settings (not including AA).

It ate up 6gig of RAM playing 'Sleeping Dogs' and 'Max Payne 3' on an i5 in the rig it was originally intended for.

It's a midrange card in the 130-150 notes bracket, fresh out of the box with standard clocks it has a bandwidth pushing 135 GB/s.

Shell out 200 or so sheets on a 5870 and you'll get a bandwidth of 435 GB/s.

Running a bottlenecked graphics card is like running a Ferrari with only 3 gears.
