That's how exactly I use mine when I carry my backpack.
I'm considering selling my r4 for the sport edition, it fastens better.

Do it panda. The sport one is awesome!

26 hours to drive 1500 miles? I would think about 18-20 hours of highway driving.

whaat? are you guys sure?

ohhh yeah 20hours at 120kph = 2400... for highway driving it certainly is doable...

on here though, that would probably take at least 3 -4 days... you have to wait for the ferry to arrive and small country roads

I am going to order this weekend. I just need to decide on my hard drive. I was thinking about the 128 GB SSD and adding a 750 gb 7200 in the optic bay
Ill go with with the 2.2 GHz quad core and the antiglare screen.
I think I can upgrade the ram cheaper myself if I think it needs it.

What is your geekbench?

get the 120gb ssD, and 1tb caviar black (its just like $10 or so more expensive than the 750gb I think)

ohhh MAC? for that money, build yourself a real damn pc

seriously, go ahead...

ohhh... 5.4L? how many miles per gallon do you get?

yeah Quad core i7 - 2600k... don't even flinch Kirk

MAn I dont even look at my fuel mileage.
I work 4 miles from home and burn about 45 dollars a week just back and forth to work. When you but an expy you aint worried about fuel economy

Sorry suga, you have to take a lot of back roads on that route. It aint no easy higheway path

You could just take the restaurant over the pond then find a car

just multiply your miles by 1.6

so if you say 1500miles = 2400km:p

The only upgrade I suggest is the hires antiglare. Everything else do yourself because apple charges an arm and a leg. I got my RAM (8GB) from crucial through newegg for 91 bucks. The hard drives you can do the same.

My geek bench was just over 11,000.

When I drive to Sault Ste Marie it's a 600 km (375 mi) drive one way. I go through Michigan where the speed limit is higher, 70mph typically. Get going with traffic and generally keep a steady speed of 80mph. Going through cities tends to slow down the trip quite a bit though.

yeah? and I thought you're poor hahaha


seriously, that's the main reason why a lot of people sold their expy here for cheap..nobody wants to buy them due to the consumption

gasoline here already costs about $1.5/liter

Well here is my hard drive logic.
The 128gig SSD is only 100 more bucks from apple.
I can get the 750gb 7200 for about 60 bucks and the optic bay adapter is 90 bucks.
It is cheaper to get them both in there if I let Apple sell the the SSD.

Dang, 11,000 from a laptop. Thats crazy,
how many FPS?

hahahaha... I have been very satisfied with PC, but I know what you mean... the GF swears the MBP is miles better than any windows based computer she had used... even though I disagree.... I can't deny the fact that its really good
