I have been wanting to do it for a while but I never wanted to spend the money while the other laptop worked. But for the last two days I have been scouring the web looking for deals and a good laptop. I went from not wanting to spend a lot of money and get something that was middle of the road laptop to wanting to spend around fifteen hundred and getting a real good one. Then I would go back and forth on that for while.<\/p>\n<p>Finally I found one and speced it out. I was at just over a grand. I was happy with it. More than I wanted to spend, but less that I was going to spend. I did a lot of research on the duel core chips. Finally I was ready to pull the trigger when I found one on the Dell Outlet site that was a nice system, had nearly everything I really wanted and it was only a couple hundred more. At that point I decided that was the one I was going to get.<\/p>\n<p>So after doing a little bit more looking I decided to buy it. Because the system is already built I should get it by the tenth. I am looking forward to that. I also am going to get the brand new Office Ultimate and Vista Ultimate. I have been using Vista lately on my newest desktop at work. I now have three machines. Two dev boxes. One with Vista and one with ought-three Web Server. I have been reading up on some of the new Vista stuff. I am excited to use some of these new features. I am not sure how much I will like Office at first. It is a lot different with the menus, GUI, and other layouts, but I hear people really like it after using it for a while. I am going to jump in feet first and get use to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After spending time with my P-III &#8211; Eight hundred laptop for several years and how slow it is these days, I finally decided that it was time to upgrade.
