Notebook City

What the heck, I haven't posted here in a million years. Give or take.

I got a new Sempron Mobile CPU notebook the other day. My Intel Celery Mobile is old as dirt and I can't take any chances with a dead notebook. Here's what I noticed:

  • Screen is shiny (and shiny is good)
  • Except when you're on battery, the screen should be dim, and the shiny screen reflects EVERYTHING
  • The new crop of notebooks are pretty slick, small and lightweight as you'd expect
  • The battery life SUCKS!

I'm going to tweak it some and see just how much time I can get out of a single charge. Right now it's about 50 minutes.

That just ain't gonna cut it.
