Hi Guys

Just picked up a Dell Inspiron 700M with a Centrino 2.1 Ghz processor, 512 mb of RAM (am upgrading to 1 gb), 80 gb HDD, DVD +/- writer, built-in dual band wireless, bluetooth, blah blah blah. The only crib is the OS - XP HOME edition on a laptop with these specs really sucks.

I wanted to go in for the Sony S48 GP, but at about Dhs1,700 less this was too good a deal to resist. I'll miss the sleek Sony - this one's shiny silver case looks decidedly downmarket after that black beauty. The only consolation is that it will go with the Safari's colour

Got to start setting it up now...I can allocate 20GB for the Linux partition now!
