Following some serious problems with my Eee PC, I acquired a new laptop, a real one. I was planning to use the Eee as may main and only computer but some very serious problems with its SDD (that I will describe in another post soon) prevented me form doing so.

I opted for a Dell Vostro 1320 and must say it is a beautiful machine. It is small, powerful, light, and most importantly shiny.

Some Specs:

  • Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 @ 2.53GHz
  • nVidia Corporation GeForce 9300M GS
  • 4GB RAM
  • 320 GB HDD
  • 13.3″ screen matte (I can’t stand glossy displays)
  • Intel wireless adaptor draft n
  • 12 cell battery
  • Mono integrated speaker (this is its only weakness)

I am running Kubuntu 9.04 with KDE 4.3.1 and it is absolutely marvelous. Everything works perfectly (except for the microphone). As a matter of fact, KDE is so absolutely mind blowing I’ll make a post exclusively about it soon (hopefully).

I know I am running late with my posts and answering messages but I’ll post some new projects very soon.
