In case you were wondering…
…My new laptop has arrived in one peice. No problems at all. The carrier at the end of the day was UkMail, thankfully not a shady white van.
Laptop is bigger than I expected but thats probably due to my crap estimation of size. Everything just works, webcam, wifi, sound, even the media buttons that are at the top of the keyboard. The Ubuntu folk have done a great job with this.
Copying over my documents and settings was a breeze, just select all the files and folders I want (remembering the hidden files), copy and paste then reboot once all the patching was done. Easy as pie.
This was definatly a good choice of laptop.
“Dell” and “easy as pie” in the same blog entry, without the use of any negative words?
Tonight, I’m reinstalling Windows on my laptop (though it’s not a Dell or a Microsoft problem…..a virus damaged some files and I’d rather start from scratch).
You may recall I am running Ubuntu on this laptop and not anything out of Redmond which means negative words or viruses are absent
