They have done such a nice job that money is no limit (ok, how about $100 or less?)Seriously though, that is what the developers deserve. Think about doing this amazing work, and balancing your personal and social life. Hats off to those developers.

Looks great, the cabin looks very good. Keep up the good work!

His computer got stolen and he lost the files, had to start from mid project all over again

The plane is coming out mid to late 2014 as far as I have heard.

Glad I could help. same thing happened with me when I got my laptop. I was planning on getting a lenovo until I randomly happened upon the Dell website. Any Dell that I have had in my house has been good for over 10 yrs, and I hope that if you order it, you will be happy with it just like I am.

I Just got the Dell Inspiron 15R Special Edition, and based on storage and processing, my laptop is more powerful, but around the same price ($799) Here it is: http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15r-se-7520/pd?refid=inspiron-15r-se-7520&baynote_bnrank=0&baynote_irrank=0&~ck=baynoteSearch&isredir=true Good luck!

Darn, I was looking forward to this one sometime in the near future. Good luck on developing other projects!

The plane will be released when the authors/developers are ready

Here are some pictures from the new machine! http://79carboyscenery.webs.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=14918222

Interresting

Just thought the battery life for me isn't really that important. On the laptop, I get up to 10 hours using intel graphics, and 7 hours using The AMD Radeon 2gb graphics

Nice pictures! Looks like progress is going along nicely. Can't wait to see the final product!

Oh, sorry, I didn't know. Keep up the good work on the 787 though!

I looked at the Haswell processors, and it sounds like they are more geared towards battery life, and not as much performance

Thanks for the advice, anything better than what I have right now is good. I am actually typing from it right now, and I can confirm that it is AMAZING! It works perfectly!

You would love to do so? Well let me tell you, moneywise, this was never been an option to me but if you use manufacturer coupons and get it down from $1,240 to $799, it is just outside of the budget, and with everything maxed out, i'll pay the extra hundred dollars

Just got it, haven't used it yet

Sorry about the help me choose stuff; I got every thing maxed out, with i7 processor Thanks in advance for helpful answers!

I just got the Dell Inspiron 15r Special Edition non touch screen windows 8. Does anybody think it would be good for X-Plane compared to my Windows XP Pentium machine?

Some little wolf (Bwolf, sorry for the shout out) told me that you're going to fsx, brent

Sorry Norman, don't think this project is shooting along as fast as the 787
