6000
My new laptop...R-O-C-K-S !
The Gateway 2500, I guess, lasted 2 years too many (I bought it in September 2000) :-)
Have been pondering over getting a system assembled since graduation. But the lazy and procrastinating me never got around to it.
Came across this offer from Dell. Inspiron 6000 going for S$1499. Decent deal, me thot. Just a cpl of hundred $$$ more than the assembled stuff but given the portability it provides over a desktop - fultu worth it. With all the necessary updates, it sounded a damn good deal and value-for-hard-earned-daallars.
D-day. The gadget was delivered at my office. Wanted to rape the system then and there but had to exercise moral control over my urges until end-of-business. My good old Sri Lankan friend helped me configure/install all the necessary crap and henceforth, left me alone with the machine.
The bitch is 15'4" widescreen, burns DVDs at 8x, stores 100GB, armed with P4 , processes at 1.6GHz and dons shiny silver. What more could a mortal ask for in a laptop! *sniff*
As expected, I spent the last 4 days exploring and playing with it. Runs like a dream! And with the HD capacity, RAM and GHz at hand, I can venture into lot more than that sucker (yes, my old laptop) ever allowed me to.
I'm lovin it!
