Give us a critique..now I`m curious because I`m looking for a more portable higher capacity system for testing to take on the road.
Seems like not very long ago when I was satisfied with my 500M processing Vaio. Its still pretty quick when just using it for general research. |
I received the new laptop a few days ago and really like it. It isn't small, but I love the 17" screen. I'd say it weighs about 5 lbs, but I like the size. The one thing that I really like is the fingerprint scanner. After you register your index fingerprint you no longer have to log on to the computer. You just run you finger over the little scanner and you are logged on. It is so nice. I'm so far limping around on the Windows 8. I downloaded the shell for windows 7 and am not sure if I like it or not. I can't seem to move around well between the web pages I keep open all the time like TOTV, google, and my mail. It seems cumbersome. The computer seems plenty fast though and I have downloaded the programs already that were giving me trouble on the old machine and everything is working well. Here is the link to the computer I bought. I did get it cheaper on the HP website.
