New Dell Laptop

July 11, 2005 · 1 minute read

I’ve been trying to get a new laptop for months. I finally got one. My old laptop was a HP ze5200 that I bought 2 and half years ago. It was good for what it did, but new is always better :) . My biggest gripe with the old laptop was it sounded like a jet engine. When all 3 CPU fans turned on, you thought it was going to take off.

Specs for my new Inspirion 6000:

  • 2 gig CPU
  • 1 gig ram
  • ~ 4 hour battery
  • 15.4 Screen
  • Bluetooth
  • 802.11g
  • 80 gig HD

It’s a very nice machine; I’m impressed with its features and capabilities. I was a little disappointed with the CPU performance, I thought it would be just a little quicker and the touch pad doesn’t have an off switch, which my HP had.

I’ll post more about it when I get cable at my place.
