I just got a new laptop!!!!! |
|
Except for being at work having a dial-up connection (this really sucks!) can't wait to get it home & hook it up to my DSL!
It's a HP zv5000 with a DVD record-able drive version of Windows XP multi media version.
Now I can chat with all my friends while at work! :)
P.S. I do have to buy a mouse using the one built into the laptop just seems so unnatural.

2. Ohhh a shiny new laptop... |
|
I'm jealous, I want a new laptop. I'm stuck with a shitty IBM Thinkpad with shitty Windows 98 and shitty 6GB of memory.

3. Does it have a wireless card built in??? |
|
Check it out...you may find an open network at your work location.
We have a wi-fi zone downtown in Orlando, and whenever I take my laptop down there, I have my choice of four or five connections: they city's, a local coffee shop, and two or three other open networks.
Just make sure your file and printer sharing is turned off.

5. don't bother buying the mouse |
|
you'll get used to the touchpad in a matter of days, and you won't want to carry the mouse with you all the time.

10. I don't like the touchpads in general....too flaky. |
|
I have one of those optical mini-mouses that works great...wouldn't use anything else.

I have only ever had the optical mouse. I had a Microsoft (not a mini) now I have a Kensington and it is a mini. Less than $20...you need a stocking stuffer!

9. I've got a zd7020us...................a great machine. |
|
I really like HP products.
Funniest thing, though; my HP All-in-one printer (T45) couldn't run until I loaded special drivers for it from the internet.
