Fully sick gaming machine

Have ordered a new notebook which we can take overseas with us. All I want it for is to be able to email, surf the net and blog here (of course). However, apparently it has to be some effing monstrosity "specked to the max". There was a heated discussion:

nerdgirl: This isn't a bloody gaming machine
nerdboy: Oh yes it is
ng: What you freaking talking about?? (bordering on hysteria and obvious misuse of appropriate grammar). You can't prevent me from contacting the outside world because you are at a certain level creating your little armies and defending your crack unit from the borg! blah blah blah
nb: Alright, I won't get in the way of you using it, but it is still going to be a gaming machine.
ng: I'm holding you to that.

Ah, feel the love.

Out of interest, check this out. Before you ask, no. Not one of them has been posted by me.
