My New Dell Laptop

So in a previous blog I posted I was getting a new laptop to replace my ailing 11 year old Dell desktop. I ordered it last Friday and damn that was some fast shipping as it showed up on my doorstep yesterday. I just wanted to post a few pics for any one interested.




I'm thinking about trying to Hackintosh it :unsure: Anyone know where to start?

My 5 year old has been on it more than me! :lol:

Edit: I did buy a 4GB ram stick to swap in place of the 2GB that came preinstalled so total ram will be 8GB.
 
Definitely Hackintosh it!!! *cough* google iAktos *cough*

P.S. You like scented candles?
 
Its a Dell? Enjoy it while the battery works... (not very long most likely).

EDIT: But it looks pretty nice.

Last time I bought a computer I paid 3,000$ for it, so when I bought this I thought it was dirt cheap @ 750$. I owned a laptop before but when my niece went to college she needed one and I gave mine.

I'm happy with my purchase. :sleep:
 
I recently bought something really similar from costco, looks nice with it's i5 :)

I've never had bad luck with Dell and battery life does not concern me that much since all the places I plan on using it the most will have a power outlet.

It is nice looking, thanks.

Well, I have had 100% failure rate on Dell batteries. True, I have only had one, but still... :P

It died after about a year and thereafter did not function at all. I have heard of others with similar predicaments, but usually their batteries still last 20-30 minutes after they "die".
