New Laptop #2
Well for those of you I don’t talk to on a regular bases here is a little update:
I have graduated from Canadore College and received my “Computer System Technology – Networking Program”. So that’s it, I’m done. Not so much. I have deiced to go back for another 3 years for the “Computer Programmer Analyst”. So this now brings me to the reason for this post, I got a new laptop. 🙂
I knew my old Dell 640m just wasn’t going to cut it for the new program. So I order my self a Dell Studio XPS. Here are the specs:
-
Intel® CoreTM i5 540M (2.53GHz/3MB cache)
-
4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3
-
ATI HD5730 Mobility RadeonTM
-
15.6 inch display (1920×1080)
-
8X DVD+/-RW Slot-load Drive
-
6 Cell Battery
-
2.0MP Integrated Webcam
-
802.11n
Doing the comparison to my old one, this is quite the beast.
The new one doesn’t excite me as much as the old one does. I plan on running Kubuntu on the old one, and get to enjoy having a real web test server again. Also want to play with some of the new KDE environment stuff as its been a few years since I have used it.
If you have ideas of things I should post please comment below!
