New Laptop PC
OK so I got a laptop PC today, which is great because they told me the waiting time is 2-3 weeks, but I got it in 4 days from the NUS notebook scheme.
It's pretty nifty, with all sorts of features that I may or may not use, and at a good price. The new Core Duo CPU notebooks are certainly packs alot of punch for its price.
The new CPU is amazing. It trounces an AMD FX-57, which by itself costs about a thousand bucks. Granted, the Core Duo doesn't perform as well on real-life benchmarks, but having the raw processing power there means that future programs will probably work alot faster on the Core Duo.
What was irritating was that NUS installed lotsa crap on the laptop, such as Trend antivirus (slows down web browsing, inferior to Grisoft AVG Free, needed a password 'trend' to uninstall), BlackIce firewall (doesn't uninstall easily, requires some semi-hidden file) and NUS VPN.
But overall, it's great. No dead pixels, no real issues, I like it.
