First of all, I'm going to note for anyone I owe tags to: I'm getting to it, I promise! <3
Sorry I’ve been kind of MIA lately- the new laptop came in on Thursday, so I’ve beendistracted by newshinytoy transferring things and installing crap and whatnot on this. New computers are a lot of work. ^_^;;; And no, I haven’t decided on a name for this yet, I’ve just been calling it “Lappy” so far. XDDD
It’s… going to take some getting used to, I think. Overall it’s zomgawesome, but there are a few things that irk me. The keyboard, for one thing. The sizing is different, which I knew, but it also makes for some frustrating mistakes while typing, especially when it’s not immediately apparent. Like I keep hitting the CAPS LOCK button instead of the shift button. That’s fun. *rolls eyes* The other major one is typing : instead of “.
Also, the touch pad thing is driving me up the wall. I already knew it was going to, though, considering my previous experience with them, so I already bought a USB mouse. I just can’t use it at the moment because Lappy is sitting on my bed instead of a proper desk. Meh. Not much I can do about that at the moment, especially when I’m locked out of the wireless because my mother doesn‘t remember what the god damn password is. So yeah. I’m stuck on this one spot on my bed since the Ethernet cord doesn’t reach any further than this, and that pretty much sucks, since my bed is uncomfortable at the best of times to begin with. >_<
But other than that stuff? I LOVE IT. And this hasn’t randomly restarted on me ONCE since I first turned it on. *cheers* That in and of itself is just fantastic to me. <3
(For those that might be wondering… so far, I don’t see the big deal with Vista. I’ll grant you that I’ve had this less than a week, but… it just seems like a prettified version of XP. *shrug* The only things I really have a quibble with are that it takes up so much space, and that it wants permission to do EVERYTHING, which is more than a little irritating at times. Also note that I have the premium version and not the basic, I don't know how much of a difference that makes.)
