Now that my ceaseless ranting with the choice of a new laptop had come to an end, I have to rant on the laptop I've chosen... A little pathetic, but this is what I do for relaxation after five or so straight hours of tweaking OS for work and crunching numbers on mathematica at the same time... Whatever the though provoking posts I have usually go on the bookhling.wordpress.com... Livejournal is strictly for venting steam and ranting for typing's sake. I love how laptops have 'Full performance mode' that can be further tweaked to give performance far more improved from the basic paper specs. I've been subjecting this laptop to so much workload that it's already beginning to stutter a bit when in any mode less than the modified 'full performance', which is no mean fit I tell you. I'm running simulations fit for a fully featured workstation.

So far the laptop experience had been satisfying. Certainly leaps and bounds better than the EEEpc 701 I've been using exclusively for past month or two. I love the keyboard. When they rave about the keyboard on Thinkpads, they aren't kidding around. This is a keyboard you can write your dissertations on... Though this 14 incher keyboard is slightly large for me, but that may be simply because I've been using the EEEpc's keyboards for too long. 

The Vista continues to annoy the hell out of me. I do admit that there is a certain degree of innocent joy in being able to tinker with your new computer for the first time, but the problem is I need to use this computer for work, and I need to work in more than one OS. Not to mention that this particular tinkering with Vista isn't to make things better, it's to make thing work...

Of course, I must add that the Vista SP1 is solid as a rock, and I've been throwing a whole lot of work load at it lately, so I think you can trust me on that issue... Vista is good at what it does (for the most part), it's only that the majority of the computing world doesn't seem to be its target audience.



Ugh, I really should stop writing about computers, but I can't help it. I think I haven't read a decent book in weeks, it's bringing this odd cramping sensation to my brain.... I really need to find something good to read.
