Also worth noting that that picture is of the very limited edition Balboni version of the Gallardo. It's a tribute to Lamborghini's main test driver of the last few decades. It's what you'd call a 'driver's car' and very special. It's mucho tasty!
Well I just completely screwed up this analogy didn't I? lol!

A Mercedes A class 2012 I guess. Above average in speed and design/comfort but not like Lamborghini GTX 680 SLI fast. On the otherside if my car would be a computer it would probably be one that runs on MS Dos with like 50Hz CPU and integrated GPU ( I have a VW Golf from 1997)

There's no such thing as a Mercedes A class. If you're referring to the top-line flagship model you mean the S class

LOL! I think the intention is still plenty clear, I'm just being pedantic really =P

mid specs and a German brand (Medion)
so I think a Porsche would fit the bill, mid range but still powerfull.
as for my laptop, American make and refurbished so a mid-range Harley.

Nah, it's a laptop. It's a very nice and sleek piece of equipment in basic black with glowing red lights. Made sense in context.

...I'm due a major upgrade.

I've spend the last 3 years swapping out anything attached to the mobo to keep it running, but now the CPU/mobo is the bottleneck so I'm looking at a new build, once I have the time, money and a guide.

Not too old to go toe to toe with current games, boots of an SSD, but it's still just dated hardware that's over clocked to hell.

It's also making noises I wish (the brand new) CPU fan would not make. If you ever heard this car, you know what I mean. It sounds great in a car, but not in my PC.

(turn your volume down)

An MTVR. She's big, ugly, and eats power, but she's damn powerful and crazy reliable.



(I have a Asus laptop by the way.)

Probably something like this...



It makes a helluva noise when it starts up because I bought a real cheap case and the HDD vibrates when it fires up. It doesn't look flashy but it's reasonably powerful. It's not going to run Crysis on the highest settings but it's in it for the long haul. Practical and efficient. It doesn't have snow chains though...

My laptop:
(beatiful but prone to break down easily and handling like a brick).

It doesn't have the most powerful hardware but with some clever tweaking and some fancy electronics it can punch way above it's weight

Oh and it's red

What would a 6 year old macbook 13,3", no upgrades or anything, translate too?
I am knowledgable about cars, but bad when it comes to PCs.
