Default Just purchased a new laptop :)
Hello Guys/Gals,

If you recall one of my previous posts, I had the intention to buy a laptop. The Dell Studio XPS 13 was the one I decided to go with. I loved it's looks and the specs looked nice as well. I read many reviews, some were good and other not as hot. However, it seemed that a bios updates fixed a great deal of the problems that people were having.

This is what I got:
-P8800 2.66ghz processor
-500gb 7200rpm HD
-4GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1067MHz
-NVIDIA® GeForce® G210M – 512MB
-13.3" HD WXGA Slim WLED LCD
-Windows 7 x64 Home Premium
-Logitech V450 Mouse

I am very excited and absolutely hate waiting!!

Wasbo

No, my friend dropped it (well actually me).
Both the motherboard and CPU (T8100) died.
So I was not happy.
