Laptop
Just got email confirmation of my new laptop I ordered on the cheap from the Dell outlet for < $1000. I need something portable to do the work-from-home thing. Of course, I wait till late in the contract to get a laptop, but I've just never been that ... "smart" I think is the word I'm looking for.
The specs:
- Inspiron 6000 Notebook: Intel Pentium M Processor 715 (1.50 GHz/2MB Cache/400MHz FSB)
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional
- 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM 400MHz (1 DIMM)
- 80 GB EIDE Hard Drive (5400 RPM)
- 15.4 inch WXGA Notebook Screen
- Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 Internal Wireless 802.11a/b/g,54Mbps
- 8X DVD ROM Drive
I don't often purchase new hardware, so I'm excited. Not as excited as for the new messenger bag, but still excited. And I think it's got more processing power than all of my desktop machines--including the Web server--combined. I really don't purchase new hardware that often.
Although I'm most excited about the "AOL 9.0 ISP Software" that comes bundled. Sweet. "You've got crap!"
