ms7

after about a year of windows-ness computing, that dreaded fenêtre is making a re-appearance in my tech toy list again.

yes, i caved in to work pressure and got myself a aspire one netbook yesterday. i had wanted to get myself an ipad, but after learning about how useless it would be work-wise, i decided to get a netbook instead. indeed, it seems that windows/openoffice is a must for any good public servant.

specs:
1.5 ghz intel atom n550 cpu
ms windows 7 starter edition
1gb ram
250gb hdd @ 2500rpm
10.1" display screen
1.25kg

but oh well at least its a lot cheaper than the ipad and it would be less of a bitch typing-wise. and it boots on android as well, so at least there's still some hope.

*update on 181010*
damn i realised with a piece of shit i bought. the ms7 starter edition means that windows deliberately locked lots of features just to force people to upgrade to the ms7 home edition. never have i ever had to hack into the registry just to change my wallpaper! and what's up with all the trialware? thanks microsoft, for screwing yourselves up; with such retarded marketing practices, its no wonder apple is where they are today. end of rant.

pot a dit…

jh, yes the design is one of the nicest around; the keyboard is a little cramped but hey something's gotta give right?

read the rest of my post on the ms7 starter crap.

android allows you to quickly boot up the com to just surf the net should you so desire. visually it just looks like a giant handphone screen. haha.
