I think i won't need a new laptop in at least 4 years

I bought this laptop because I needed a new one, but with great perfomance, mainly for high demanding games, high demanding programs like image editing, 3D modelling and rendering, and Video editing and converting. And it has me satisfied. 

Pros: 
The greatest thing in this laptop its their speakers, they are juest AWESOME, the best laptop speakers in the market.
The screen its great, its very shinny and the image is very sharp and vivid. 
The kerboard is good but its better with backlit, unfortunately the one I bought doesnt has it. 
At least mine, doesnt heats, even with very demanding programs and games (like GTA IV, or Rendering 3D, or Video Converting). 
Good Ports... USB 3.0 eSATA USB combo, display port, HDMI, two audio out, etc. 
Good quality image with the integrated camera. 
Cons: 
This new technology "Optimus" sucks, it does saves battery, but some programs and games didnt detected de discrete GPU (it has two, on integrated and the nVidia) at first (I needed to do some tweaks). 
Maybe one usb more could be useful. 
The charger its kinda big. 
Doesnt comes with the OS cd (you have to buy it from Dell).

2008 Audi R10 TDI

(from Audi Press Release) Audi starts with diesel sportscars in Europe

Ingolstadt – AUDI AG enters the 2008 motorsport season and Le Mans Series (LMS) with a high-calibre driving squad and the most successful Le Mans team ever. Audi Sport Team Joest enters two of the latest generation Audi R10 TDI for Dindo Capello (Italy) and Allan McNish (Scotland) and Alexandre Prйmat (France) and Mike Rockenfeller (Germany) in every race of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) organised endurance championship.



For the first time since entering endurance racing exactly ten years ago Audi now contests a European based sportscar series as a factory team. "Previously the European fans have only been able to see the R10 TDI in action at the 24 Hours of Le Mans,” explains Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. "We are absolutely delighted that we have been able to create a base together with the ACO over the last few months which will see our diesel sportscars on the grids in the classical European 1000-kilometre races. The Le Mans Series already boasted an extremely attractive field last year. The Audi factory involvement surely will further increase the value of the championship.”

Audi Sport Team Joest enters two third-generation Audi R10 TDI prototypes in the Le Mans Series which will also compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 14/15 June 2008. Reinhold Joest’s team has been a reliable partner of Audi Sport for than ten years and has already scored five Le Mans wins and four American Le Mans Series titles together with Audi.

High-calibre drivers on the grid
Audi fields defending ALMS Champions Dindo Capello (43) and Allan McNish (38) in the fight for the championship title in Europe. With nine overall victories and two championship titles in succession, the two seasoned campaigners formed the most successful driver pairing in the ALMS over the previous two years. A strong duo also occupies the second cockpit: Alexandre Prйmat (25) and Mike Rockenfeller (24) contest the Le Mans Series parallel to their DTM programme. The youngsters impressed at the wheel of the R10 TDI in testing in 2007.

The season opener is held on 6 April at Barcelona (Spain). A total of five races are scheduled, including the endurance classics at Monza (Italy), Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), Silverstone (Great Britain) and at the Nurburgring (Germany). The venue of a possible sixth race is still to be confirmed.
