New Laptop

On Friday, the new dream machine was ordered. Opiated Sherpa Productions will have a new digital home base in the next couple weeks.

The new Dell Inspirion 6400, loaded to the gills with technical goodness is coming. I think all told the machine cost $1,700, a far cry from what the VAIO I'm using now cost me and it's a pretty mean machine.

2.14 Ghz Core Duo Processor, 2 GB of RAM, 120 GB hard drive, 15.4" monitor, 5-in-1 card reader (for my Memory Sticks), DVD Burner and internal wireless networking... it'll be a pleasure to Blog with that puppy.

Fred ordered pretty much the exact same machine, 'cept he upgraded his sound card ('cuz he watches a lot of DVDs on his machine) and got an extra battery. I ordered a new wireless router since the one I have is shit and more anti-virus protection. It only made sense. Apparently the machine is now in production as of an hour or two ago... but the estimated ship date isn't for another month. Go figure. I don't honestly think that's the case, but who's to say? It's still pretty exciting though.
