 |
|
I got a new and smaller rig to replace the bo-he-meth that I had been computing on. This was done mostly for practicaly reasons. So far I am happy with her.
Pictures to come...
....untill then -- SUSPENSE!

And finally, here she be!
HP DV 1310 Laptop
Celeron 370 (1.5GHz, 1MB)
512 DDR (for now....he he he)
60 GB HD
DVD +/- R/RW (DL)
Media remote
Card reader
etc.
14" Wide Screen Display (1280 x 768)
All in all, she is a hell of a bargin for $540 out the door. I am quite please with my rather sudden purchase . It seems to run Photoshop and Illustrator with reasonable ease and handles multi-tasking well. I am not entirely sure what is so "celeron" about this processor b/c with the big L2 cache, It definitely doesn't run like a 1.5GHz. Now I need to find a good deal on 1GB of PC333 SODIMM.
Oh yeah, did I mention that this thing is really light?

I've had my eyes on something similar. Inexpensive, relatively fast, easy to carry around. PrON in bed. w00t!

Actually, not as of late. But that is something I would rather not think about. LOL

Ahh yeah. I remember that model well. Its a few months old (like my HP) but still a sweet, sweet machine. What speed of memory was in that one again...3200?

PC2700........
I think the chipset can handle DDR400 so I might upgrade it later, but for a laptop, the DDR333 is not slowing this comp down at all.
The turion Processor is impressive.
