Dave's got a brand new laptop..

  • Artikel

Those of you who know me, know that my main/work laptop is a three year old Tablet PC, with a 1.6GHz Centrino, 2GBs memory and a slow (5400rpm) disk.  It has served me well over the years, and is still a great little machine for running Vista and Office (I even manage to get Aero Glass out of it's 32Mb graphics card).

If you do know me, you also know that I do a lot of demos and run a lot of virtual machines (and you can't do that on a three year old Tablet PC).  Anyway, I finally have my new laptop.  It's a Dual-Core x64 machine with 4GBs memory, a fast (7200rpm) disk and it can take a second disk in the DVD bay.  It 'should' be the perfect little (and it is little - only 2.5kg) demo machine.

I've loaded it up with the 64-bit version of Windows Vista, and am about to start playing..

My first comment is that 64-bit Vista has drivers for everything (there is not a red or yellow item to be seen in Device Manager) - I'm impressed.

My next decision is Virtual PC or Virtual Server - I'll post later with my selection...

Dave
