I finally got around to ordering my new laptop from work. Not a bad delivery. Ordered on the Thursday afternoon at about 4:30 and turned up at around 9:30 on Friday morning. Really impressed with the company
Printware I've ordered a few things from them. All of them I've ordered late and have turned up early the next morning.
So back to the new laptop. It's an HP Laptop, Model nx7400 So unfortunatly it came with Vista installed on it. But I thought I'd keep it for a while as I'm not sure what it's like. It took an hour from the first switch on to get to the desktop. Ten minutes after the first boot up it was having Ubuntu installed. I went for the alternative CD isntall. 30 minutes we are sat at the Ubuntu desktop. The only problem is that the wireless doesn't work out of the box. :( This is where Neil over at Netvis came in really usefull. He managed to get the wireless up and running in a few minutes.
The laptop as a whole is very good. Sturdy keys, quick, huge screen that is crystal clear.
More will be posted about it once I've used it some more.
