Laptop Challenges and Triumphs

This new laptop has some challenges

  • Was a pain getting
  • Can’t fit a 9mm hard drive (has to be 7mm and smaller)
  • I thought it had bluetooth
  • While docked the USB3 didn’t seem to work (granted I didn’t wait long or look at the bios)
  • Not as light as expected
  • Rubber bumber coming off on the monitor

But it has some Triumphs

  • Fast for an older laptop
  • Boots wicked fast
  • Wifi is AC
  • Uses existing docking stations
  • Display is 1080P

Went to Fry’s to try and buy a 2TB Hard drive for this laptop, weird that they said they don’t and never did offer rain checks for sales.  Liar.

I ordered a 2TB hard drive from Amazon instead, hoping it will improve things capacity wise.  I purchased a bluetooth mouse from Frys though, I think I will use it with my work laptop and move the wireless mouse from it to this one.  Eyeing a 500GB mSata disk in the future too.

Almost all the software I want is on it.

Went around Renton Tech today.  Of course had to play with my new toy.

Weight coming along

Weight: 293.4
