New Computer
Two days ago I bought a new laptop. It arrived yesterday, and today is my first full day of working with it. I don’t actually have it yet; it’s sitting in my apartment’s office waiting for someone to sort the mail. That and it’s still Thursday. Yeah, I’m at work trying hard not to run into the office and demand that they do the mail right now, and am going to “future-post” this. I’ll give me an excuse to write another post and up my post count.

Sony VAIO VGN-FZ140E/B 15.4″ Notebook Specs (copied directly from Amazon.com):

* Connectivity: 3 USB, 1 FireWire, 1 VGA, 1 S-Video, ExpressCard 34, Memory Stick/SD card slots
* Intel 4965 AGN wireless LAN connects to draft 802.11n routers (as well as 802.11a/b/g)

Cases and Expandability
* Size (LWH): 10.02 inches, 14.01 inches, 1.36 inches

Performance-wise, it’s almost exactly the same as my custom-built desktop that’s 4 years old. That old fella will probably still be good when (if?) I graduate from this place. Hopefully the laptop lasts that long too. My desktop has a 240 GB hard drive, only 1GB RAM (4 GB max), and (I think) 1.7 GHz processor.
