New laptop

Finally I got a new laptop.

Sorry Ken, it is NOT a mac!

Was going to get a mac when i realised that alot of engineering program can't run even though it is dual boot. Apparently bootcamp is not that compatible with all the programs. With the chances of me using Fluid Analysis programs( which i hope i don't have too), i decided to settle for dell xps m1530. Mainly because it is cheap, big and recommended by Dell users.


Was thinking hard whether to spend when i list down the reasons for getting..

1)Intensive use next sem.
Right after exams, i will be going headon with my FYP almost daily. This means having a good working laptop is important.

2)Poor condition of current laptop
My current laptop batt is totally spoilt( 5 min batt life), cranky fan( got to run out of library when it makes noise, really loud noise) and cranky keyboard at times.I got reach lib so i can get a plug, if not i can't use my laptop :S

3)Cost-benefit
Wanting to fix my current laptop but it is 3.5 years old without warrenty! Don really wanna spend a few hundred to get new batt, new fan and servicing. Think it is better to go for a new one.



Can't wait for my new laptop to come. wanna start watching movies on it!!
