Give us your reviews of it. I think the Z series are the thin ones right?

Data logging... and porn.

It's really for everything. For me, I really only need it for data logging and maybe some work if I don't feel like sitting at my desk. I'll also use it for viewing GoPro footage and doing some light editing (like when I'm at ZDayZ this May). My girlfriend uses it for work and school as well.

The 14z is the thin and light one. Not as thin as the XPS 13 ultrabook (which I want) but more powerful and practical. I didn't get the souped up one. The specs are:

Core i5-2450M - 2.5/3.1 Ghz, 3MB cache
8GB DDR3
750GB 7500RPM HDD
Intel HD 3000 onboard gfx

Its pretty quick and does everything I need it to do. Looks real nice too. Compact and fairly light (under 5lbs). Got it for $899.

P.S. -- Good Morning, Misters

P.S.S. -- Fantastic tire!

I need to hurry up and get them on the S2000, but I'm in the process of having a ring made so the bank account is a little shocked.

Exhaust update got a few more bolts/knuts off, just one left! I think this knut is stripped though. I'll try a 12 point socket tomorrow. hosed it down with pb blaster and will see what happens.

morning zman! nice!

those silicon hoses keep temps inside cooler too... well, from what i read.

i dont know for certain.

sucks that the nut stripped through. yah, also banging on the nut with a hammer a little too before you turn can loosens up rust sometimes. GL!

if there's enough clearance sears sells various 'easy-out's that bite into the stripped fastener while you loosen it. with rusted bolts/nuts you only get a few tries before it strips or breaks off.

I have done so far what I want to be done to my Z, ClearBra, CAI, Tires/Rims, Spacers, Spoiler and HU. Maybe some redline products later on and I am thinking about going to upgrade the brakes when the OEM is done...

morning mr.alcheng- about the shoes... we better check with luna cause he's a shoes-guy..

sounds good on the mods.

Kenman the issues are at the hospital not with the fire department. We have a great chief at the fire department and it is very easy being an assistant chief with him. As for my Z I have an appointment at 1030 am today. Just regular service have just under 4000 miles on the car.

hey np Fire!

good morning. ahhhh, hospital. good to hear your boss is cool.

so you're selling your car even though it has under 4K miles? wow.

ive done that once...selling a brand new car before its first scheduled oil change. lol

On my ZL1 front there may actually be light at the end of the tunnel. A guy posted that he is receiving his ZL1 today. He is the first to post that he is receiving his. So things are looking up and I expect to get news on where I stand in the next week.

yah, i have no new parts or mods..

hope you get that ZL1 soon... how many are they planning to build per year?

nice! i'm looking for a new laptop for my gf her biggest thing is it needs to be small and light ("purse ready"

)

Good looking stats there too, almost like a gaming computer. How is the Core i5? Haven't read much about it yet.

P.S. Morning Gentlemen!

Definitely. The i5-2450 is more than sufficient for most applications. I play the HD video from my GoPro and edit it just fine on this machine.

When I want to play games... I have a special rig for that.
