Last week I was propositioned to sell my laptop to a friend at the office. Since I was offered a fair price, actually more than I think I would ever get for it (even in Canada), I decided to go for it. I welcomed the new HP Pavilion dv6000z into the family.
So far the HP has been treating me very well. In terms of hardware it is a major step up from my old Acer. The machine handles video and games beautifully. Biggest shift for me is the new OS, yes I have I enlisted as a beta tester for the new Microsoft Vista operating system.
What can I say…It is noticeably amped up in terms of the graphical user interface. Many of the ‘new’ features have been compared to those included for years in the Mac OS. For a long time windows user these can be considered ‘nice to have’ but nothing too special in terms of practical use.
There have been a few glitches so far and I can tell you when dealing with such a young operating system your heart skips a beat all the more when you hit a wall. At least with XP there was a wealth of resources online to counter any problems.
Ill let you know of my ongoing Vista experience!
