For the second time I'm using the CEO's laptop. Several years back he wanted a small, light tablet and got a Portege 3500 (toshiba's first tablet) He hated it and I took it and loved it for several years. This year he wanted something bigger and more powerful and got an HP Compaq NC8430 (15" screen 1680x1050 Core 2 duo, 2GB ram this thing flies) He hated the screen. Everything was too small for him to read. So once again I got an upgrade. I'd feel bad if I had picked the units out for him. I just happened to be the next on the list for a new laptop when he decided he hated his.
Can't argue with that. I've loaded Vista Enterprise on the Compaq but I think I'm going back to XP soon. I've just had too many little quirks crop up. I think I'll wait for SP1 before doing Vista again.
Although I have to say Vista LOOKS pretty. Sadly there isn't much backing up the looks yet.
And for those of you with current tablets color me jealous.
The Portege was really long in the tooth but it was a hard decision to retire it. (If I hadn't been able to run Lord of the Rings on this one in very high res I don't know if I would have given up the tablet)
