I ordered a customized one! From CostCo online!
The hard drive it comes with is fine (250GB, which is the size of the computer I use on a daily basis, no need for anything more on a portable). I upgraded the operating system, the RAM, and the processor and graphics. When I was choosing stuff, Brian asked if this would be a computer he could take with him when he went other places (like when we go to Disneyland or he goes to the ag show up in Tulare). Oh, yeah? You want to take this with you on your trips? Let’s see what else I can upgrade….*lol*
I upgraded the display. And I ordered an additional power cord.
This thing only uses 40W of power, I’ve got an inverter for the car, it runs 100W, so we’re golden there. Since there’s no DVD/CD reader or writer that comes with it (it’s small, 10.1” diagonal screen, no room for an internal reader) I bought an external slim line LG reader/writer on eBay. I was looking at cases for it, Brian said “you don’t need a case for it, it will easily fit in the luggage, you’re not getting a case”. Well, the cases are under twenty bucks and I will too get one. Just not right now, but later after it gets here. I didn’t say anything about the DVD/CD reader. Yet.
Since he’s got this online business going, I guess that’s why he wasn’t more resistant to us getting this.
Besides, it’s so KEEYOOOT!
I’m already thinking about making my own cover for it, heaven knows I’ve got the materials to do it.
This picture is the wallpaper on my Win7 machine (I took this back on November 11, 2005 at Disney’s California Adventure), I’m going to use this for the laptop cover.
