I posted earlier about getting a new videocard for my home laptop. Well, I neglected to mention that my work laptop is getting replaced. The new one came in today, so I brought it home to play with. I'll be turning it back over to be hooked up to our network and loaded with our company software next week, but it's mine to play with till Monday.

It's a Dell Inspiron 9300.
17" widescreen on a laptop = teh win
1.7Ghz Pentium/Centrino (too lazy to look up exactly the proper way to state that )
1Ghz RAM
55GB hard drive
DVD/CD-R

It's an awesome chassis for a desktop replacement.
Six USB 2.0 ports, and most impressively to me, I've been on it for quite a while this evening setting up my preferences and playing some Civ4 (64MB video card ), and the bottom of the laptop is not even warm to the touch, a HUGE departure from my Inspiron 5100.

I still have to get it all tweaked how I like it, and the keyboard is slightly different and is taking some getting used to, but I'm pretty impressed. This is the fifth Dell laptop I've had, always had good success with them.
