Re: My new laptop I just bought.

I could always switch hard drives with her current laptop. I think her current one is a 120, and stick the 5400 drive in her old laptop

That's what I would do . When ever I do upgrades I sometimes swap stuff with the wife and daughters computers and they are none the wiser.

Re: My new laptop I just bought.

It might make sense anyways because I think we are going to sell here 600m, so I'll need to wipe the hard drive anyway.

Re: My new laptop I just bought.

Just thought I'd give a quick update. The wife loves the laptop! Overall it is nice but there are a couple of minor things to note.

1. It is heavy! Havent really weighed it, but you dont want to pick it up with one hand. Of course, I dont know of anyone off the top of my head that has a 17" laptop that is light.

2. The clasp that holds the lid to the base seems a little cheap.

3. The color coating is easily dinged. It has a very nice feel, almost like a suede or microfiber, but it is plastic. But it is easily scratched.

The wife wanted a 17" laptop so she could have a 10 key. Vista isnt so bad. Battery life is much better than her 600m.

Bottom line is she is really happy and we got it for a good price.
