The new laptop arrived today. Vista is awesome!
The laptop is lightning fast.

I do believe I told you that you'd love it some time back

[Skibum]

Just why do folks say it sucks?

[Shawn]

I must have missed it in a previous post; what variety of laptop?

[Jay]

That was the first, Shawn.

I got a Dell XPS M1210 2.0 core2 duo 2gb memory 12.1 inch screen
4.4 pounds.

So far very happy.

Got the exact same setup as you ski, had it about 3 mos now. I love it except for the keyboard. They have replaced it 3 times, as it keeps poping keys off the keyboard and I make them replace it each time it pops a key on the 3rd keyboard now.

Nice. I keep "teetering" on the issue of buying a laptop - Dell stuffs those catalogs in my mailbox every couple of weeks to keep me on edge. At work we've got Latitudes (attitudes/platitudes...?) which are a notch above functional. At least we rid ourselves of IBM laptops (sorry in advance to IBM fans).

This is simply the best laptop I have ever used. It is faster than my fastest desktop! The keyboard is close to perfect. The battery life is close to amazing.

Right now I would recommend it to anyone wanting a small footprint laptop.

careful Ski, you don't want to jinx it!

It's easy after 3 days to love it - it's a year from now that'll really tell the story.

But glad you're loving it so far! It's so nice to get a new machine

Tell me about it. I am totally pleasantly suprised...
