New Laptop
I ordered a Sony Vaio S5XP/B from Laptops Direct yesterday at 4pm and it arrived this morning at 9am. Now that's service!
Its much smaller than my last laptop which was a huge 4kg desktop replacement. The new one weighs in at 1.9kg and has a 2GHz Pentium M processor, 2GB RAM, and a 100GB SATA HDD. The widescreen display will take a bit of getting used to but I'm pretty happy with the machine so far. It came pre-installed with XP and I've now set it up as a dual boot system with Ubuntu as the other O/S. Ubuntu installed pretty smoothly on this machine.
In terms of raw CPU power it's not as fast as I would have liked but the small size makes it ideal for when I'm on the road compared to my last laptop, which was really only usable when I had a desk available due to its bulky size.
