Old Laptop Out, New Laptop In

Salam and hi everyone. Right now I am blogging with my new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite A300. Best deal I got during the PC Fair, and Ayman has also bought the same model. My old Acer Aspire 1690 is now in the process of being cleaned up before being handed down to Zayd. I'm blogging this while waiting for the updates to be installed as well as for the Yahoo Messenger program.

I've told you that I wasn't really looking for a super-high-end model, as long as the model is good enough to serve my really basic needs. This new laptop comes with 200GB hard disk (although 178GB is available for use due to virtual memory and stuffs, I'm not that IT-literate...), 3.00GB RAM (free upgrade from 2GB due to PC Fair), T8100, 2.10GHz..okay actually I'm copying everything from the Welcome Center. Graphic card is Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family. My old Acer has ATI 128MB which is supposed to be better, but since I'm not a gamer I don't think it really matters. After all why buy something I won't be using anyway/need. The price is RM3600. Right now I'm really satisfied with it. It also has a webcam and the screen is widescreen 14.1", a tad smaller than Acer's 15.4". Not to mention a bit lighter.

This isn't an ad; I just blog about this as per request to a reader, although I'm really not a great person to write about technology stuffs. :) What I actually want to blog about are the movies I've watched after stepping out of the land of the Tsars' soil, meetups and reunions with friends (just once for now, yesterday, with Aysha - more on that in future updates), etc etc. I need to get used to the laptop first, as well as the nifty-looking but unfamiliar Windows Vista that is installed in this new Toshiba, as well as installing my graphic-editing software and others.

Until later. Bye.
