My New Hurricane Colored Laptop...

My quest for the perfect work laptop finally came to a conclusion Friday with the delivery of my Dell Vostro 1320.  At home, we use a Dell 17″ Inspiron, so I wanted a smaller laptop, but one that I could move up to a 64bit OS.  After a pretty long search, even trying to get my hands on a System 76 (Ubuntu) machine, I finally speced out a Vostro 1320.  It has a 13″ screen, so not huge, but just the right size.  8 GB of RAM, that I throughly appreciate.  Dual Core processor.  Fingerprint reader that works with Windows 7, but not quite sure about Ubuntu yet.

I have yet to put on 9.10 Karmic Ubuntu onto it.  I play to dual boot into both and also use VirtualBox to virtualize Ubuntu.  I will continue utilizing the laptop, and share my experiences with it.  The Ubuntu part excites me, as I have yet to use a 64bit Linux distro.  More information to come…
