The Panasonic Toughbook F9. Since the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) seized my Acer Ferrari last October, I had to settle for the Apple iPad, which is most unfriendly when it comes to blogging. I have given up the prospect of getting back the Ferrari, and if it's returned to me I've been advised, for my own good, to just give it away.
I have used Toughbooks before: they look good, the batts last long, and they are, er, tough. (strong enough to carry in my bike's panniers). Have a feeling that the Fab-Nine and I are going many places and doing many posts together.
abang rock,
ReplyDeletedont u go leaving your laptops near the front door, hear?
cos in case u dont know, these days robbers in msia come in by front doors after using sophisticated methods to pick locks.
last time they entered by back doors, but that is soooo last century in your msia.
how much did it cost?
ReplyDeleteRocky, go for macbook air! It's 11 inch, best battery for life.
ReplyDeleteDear Bro
ReplyDeleteSorry I am not commenting on your new ipad. I wish to draw your attention to the amendment to the Selangor Constitution.Please print the wordings of the amendment and please publicise it widely. If I am not mistaken it says that the Sultan "SHOULD" on the proposal of the Commission puts his signature agreeing to the appointment of the individual proposed. This means the Sultan has no say whatsoever and is reduced to simply endorsing the choice already made by the Commision/Mentri Besar unlike the current situation where the Sultan is given a list of several names from which he then selects. He does have the right to chose. So how can Khalid claims that the amendment is to return the power back to the Sultan when the Sultan has no say no choice but simply "should" which in legal terms means he "must" sign his acceptance upon receiving the proposal. PLEASE DO HIGHLIGHT THIS.
Brader, you got replacement 4 your Ferarri?
ReplyDeleteWhat about your Peugeot?
- XXYY
It's limited items bro...
ReplyDeleteThe army used them...
Siencetis/data collector/surveyor also use them.
Get a Mac!
ReplyDeleteMake it MacBook Pro.
You"ll never look back at any Ferrari !
You wear jeans, right?
hi sir,
ReplyDeleteever considered switching over to linux (maybe ubuntu?) its free, u get free web storage(about 2gb i think, upgradeable) and best of all u can run it on any computer (i'm typing this on a second hand acer that's too slow to run windows even xp). that way if anything even gets confiscated, you'd have a web copy and its cheap (this laptop is probably worth 250 ringgit nowadays, in lowyat can get old refurbished ones that will work with ubuntu). best of all there is a large network of people running linux in malaysia and the open-source community is very friendly and helpful.
p.s. unless of course you would like to use photoshop and other windows only software (note there are always linux version).

I would like to have One, but it is very expensive. Amazon is seling at more than US2.7K.
ReplyDeleteBro, the legs are lovely. I don't know about the Toughbook!

ReplyDeleteACCEPTED, with THANKS!...and it's for your good:-)
Note to MCMC: Please give it back to Rocky as soon as possible, ye... so he can give it to me. By the way, I hope MCMC's work culture and mentality aren't defined by glacial terms when it comes to "time" -- "as soon as possible", "quickly" = decades.
Note to MCMC Part II (Ala Pink Floyd Shine On You Crazy Diamond etc): Hopefully there isn't any vindictive, spiteful or deceitful officer at MCMC, with a dose of "I wanna bodek Datuk Seri and fix these bloggers" ...
It's not too difficult to copy some porn or paedophile pixs to the HDD; and turn the files' dates to, say, 27 May 2010 or whatever pre-seizure date... OR, on finding Pink Floyd's Dogs on MP3, pursue some I-want-to-harass-this-ponytailed-blogger-becos-my-dahi-is-lincin pertaining to copyright/intellectual property infringement - real or imagined.
Oh, not that I'm saying there are people in MCMC punya hati busuk who are capable of this! NO, NO!... Jangae silap fahae, deh, abae MCMC.
Is it as good as some military standard notebook?
ReplyDeleteBe careful. They might, well, you know. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteSlim and slender. Very nice indeed. I am *drooling***
ReplyDeleteRocky,
ReplyDeleteThough you are a pro BN blogger, some BN leaders don't even trust you. Tough luck bro!
Slim and slender...? That's true for the iPad but this one leans towards being a bit bulky. Or maybe my standards `are high' (the yardstick being *me*... and Rocky, Nuraina Samad etc whom I've met will attest to the fact that supermodels would kill to have my bodyweight).
ReplyDeleteBut the veins... now this the IV heroin addicts will drool over for sure:-P
wuhuu!
ReplyDeleteYah, look tough, alright ... the calves I mean. BTW, a briefcase on fire hardly a Toughbook F9 make, does it? Looks bulky, heavy too. Just look at the tendons straining in her wrist and fingers lugging the behemoth around.
ReplyDeleteDo I sense an iPad for sale? Am not interested ... like you said not friendly for blogging. (The 'thieves' should have done you a favour when they last did a forced entry. hehe)
Last line ,,, cryptic. Care to elucidate?

Wow...finally Latuk Locky got taste....in legs....
ReplyDeleteGodfather
Can you PLEASE give away your Ferari to me when they return it to you.
ReplyDeleteDj Remy
Drooling - legs, not the toughbook.
ReplyDeleteI hope many more tough blogs coming.

ReplyDeletebawak bike apa?
Ya, very nice. The laptop's not bad as well.

ReplyDelete'Threats to the Internet, such as companies or governments that interfere with or snoop on Internet traffic, compromise basic human network rights' says Tim Berners-Lee, founder of Internet, in a recent article.
ReplyDeleteMinister in charge of CCT (Communications and Computing Technology) claims to have met his KPI for 2010. How is this possible when our basic network freedoms are violated?
Are not basic internet freedoms part of Vision 2020?
Najib’s task is to build on Dr Mahathir’s legacy by openly acknowledging Dr Mahathir's failures and reaffirming his technological genius, and not by replacing it with one which pays lip service to the ‘freedom’ rhetoric but undermines basic human network rights and freedom of of internet traffic, which are the very foundation of modern democracies.
Hello!
ReplyDeletePrice of the F-9 is RM6745. Relatively cheap by Toughbook standards.
The first Toughbook I bought was RM8k plus, in 2006. Then I got the C-19, the one they used for Desert Storm. A used one (brand new RM19k, I was told). That I lost when they broke into my car in 07.
I switched to the Acer Ferrari because I could not get spare batt for the TOughbook.
