Infiniti stopped making Q45's for so long that Samsung now uses the name Q45

[Infinitiguy19]

Never thought I would see the day that samsung puts a laptop out called the Q45.

That must be the perfect laptop to do out "laptop consult tests"

I hope I see a law suit here, And I get part of the settlement.

Q45 restoration/modification project here I come.

[MinisterofDOOM]

That's especially interesting considering that select Nissan models are sold under the Samsung name in South Korea. No Infinitis, and definitely no Q, but there's a partnership there.

[Infinitiguy19]

Wow that's news to me. But still weird couldn't they thought of another name.

I'm interested if there are XP video drivers available.

Mabe an upgrade to Vista?

Q45 is also in use by Intel. No Nissan trademark outside of automobiles.

We will not discuss Q45 the crap artist.

[seldomseen]

Umm...the Q45 name was discontinued in '06.

Yes, but Nissan still owns the trademark for automobiles.

Its Nissan's answer to the Bently Laptop

Quite possibly the gayest thing I've ever seen.....

[qsiguy]

Probably quite a few Q45 model names around. At my day job I sell/service a dissolved ozone gas monitor called a Q45.

I agree, those laptops are definitely for the ladies...to put it nicely.

I'd take one of these Lamborghini laptops tho

This Octane Q45e Elliptical Exercise Machine (with moving arms) keeps coming up in my Craigslist searches. At $2299 (and 300 lbs.) it's more expensive than many of the Q45 autos it's listed with.

Octane q45e Elliptical w/Moving Arms... delivery available - $2299 (Concord Ca)

[slybydesignq45t]

Yeah, but at $20,000 a pop, I would be ebaying these things all day. I think they only produced 100 of these.

[Q451990]

Mabe an upgrade to Vista?

Did you use the terms "upgrade" and "Vista" in the same sentence??

[Haitian_King]

The Acer Ferrari Notebooks are pretty slick too...

[qship96]

I have been using Vista for 14 months now without problems, I dont understand why it has a reputation of operating issues?

[Jesda]

I hate it. I've finally gathered all the XP drivers I need to make the switch.

Goodbye, Vista.

Same here. I will say that it's not all roses. You can't expect it to be amazing if you're trying to run it on less than 1 GB of RAM.

[Q451990]

To be honest, I'm still stuck in XP land. My Mom is running Vista, and it's been OK for her. A couple of glitches here and there, but nothing too unusual.

I know the tech. operating the new Hunter alignment machine at Goodyear was very unhappy with it when it rebooted twice during our alignment on the G, but who knows if that's actually Vista, or Hunter's software being glitchy...

The reason why is because it got a bad reputation because it ran slow on 4-5 year old hardware. The laptops and low end pc's that had vista installed had integrated intel crap graphics (gma 910/50),older cpu's, and 512 mb of ram. I'm running x64 vista with no problems what so ever; this is with a midrange 1-2 year old gaming machine.

Anyway, why did you dump vista jesda? What spec of computer are you running? I probably wont go back to XP just because there is no need to.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Vista has a bad reputation with non-casual PC users because it's a system hog that has a lot of unnecessary garbage. It's really just the same thing that happened with XP, though. When XP hit, I said many times I wasn't giving up Win98SE until I HAD to. Wasn't until XP SP2 hit that I was willing to upgrade (since it wasn't until that point that it WAS an upgrade). XP used more system resources than Win98 and didn't like a lot of older win95 and even some win98 software. Service packs eventually mostly fixed that.

Vista also has compatibility issues out the wazoo, lacking drivers for common peripherals and suffering from problems where XP would not have them. A new OS in it's early stages always has some sorting out to do, though. I'm patiently waiting for Vista to get to it's "Service Pack 2" point, at which point I'll likely buy it for an all-new machine. I don't think my current machine will ever see Vista, though, unless MS can isolate a good bit of the extraneous garbage that snags up so many precious system resources. I don't need "3D" window scrolling (which isn't really 3D anyway) and I can certainly do without adjustable opacity windows if it means more efficient operation.

Vista, though, has some nice benefits, like DX10, which is a huge step up from 9. My rig right now has a DX10 graphics accelerator but isn't up to snuff for running Vista with the same performance as it runs XP, so I'm missing out on that.

Another huge issue with Vista is that Ultimate costs nearly $500. I could buy a whole damn computer WITH Vista for that! MS needs to loose this needless tiered features system. Two packages at most are needed, and the price ceiling should be closer to $200, not $500. I don't care what it cost them to develop it, it's not WORTH that much cash to the consumer.
