Hello, World

Well, this isn’t my first blog post but it certainly is my first “hello” from my office laptop.  Yeap.  After 2.5 years of lobbying by my boss, I finally got a laptop thanks to Loudhailer (helps when the co-CEO of the Singapore office is also the product head for trade credit and PRI.  Heh).  It’s a great laptop on almost all counts (with the exception of having no on board optical drive but I can live with that).  The batt life is amazing… I’m at 84% after slightly over 1 hour of use and that’s a remaining 7 hours of usage left.  Good huh?

Anyway, here’s the specs of the X200:

    ======================

    Forgot to add – another good thing about the laptop – it doesn’t heat up (which is a big problem I have with my Toshiba protege).  I’m loving this!
