Bought my self a new laptop. It’s a Compaq T563 with Intel Dual Core 1.7GHz with 1Gb RAM. So far I haven’t played much with it, takes a bit longer than anticipated to boot up with Windows XP. Have to install all the software I use and see how it fares. I have been without a PC for some time now. I could have bought a more powerful Desktop for a cheaper price, but I opted for a laptop for obvious reason of mobility. One con of this model I see is it’s got only 3 USB ports, and with no Bluetooth it seems you don’t have enough USB ports. But, all in all, I would say it’s a pretty decent mechine for an even decent price tag.
