My New Baby

Yeah, that's what I have been fiddling all week long. I finally received my HP Mini on 24 September 2010 (Friday), after a long wait of almost a month, plus a few trips down to TM Point to track it. Thank God for the Pakej Jalur Lebar dengan Netbook Percuma (Broadband package with free netbook) from Streamyx, I finally gotten a new netbook to cover the duties of my faithful Dell Inspiron 4150. I still love my Inspiron, it's just that it is a big deal to get it started and running smoothly these days. Maybe tomorrow I'll have to run a movie on it to ensure it's still operating well. I have my memories stored in it... Inspiron had gone through a great deal with since I started off uni...

The netbook that I'm currently using is powered by an Intel Atom N475 on Windows 7 starter with 1GB of RAM and a HDD of 250GB. I sort of screwed up when I installed a couple of software causing it to get into the fits of not wanting to shut down. After a good consult from a colleague, I did system recovery and returned to its origin, before I installed any program. So far so good, thank God.

Haha. My colleague has a HP Mini 210 before I got mine, and when I finally got hold of mine, I thought that I too were having the same. Well, it's just illusion! I am a proud owner of a HP Mini 110-3004TU. However, due to the illusion during the previous weekend, it gotten me to buy a "laptop skin" to stick onto the cover, just to customize it. Not too bad, but I'd prefer it plain...

One fun thing I did this weekend is to install PPS.tv on the netbook, and now I can watch some drama series which I really like when I'm free. If you don't see me around too often, high chance I'm at home watching PPS.tv. LOL.

I'd give this netbook a 4/5 stars for now - mainly contributed by the matte screen which was the main criterion I had to get a notebook/netbook. I'm really glad this netbook comes with matte screen :)

My New Baby - Maxtor


I'm so happy... Besides it's a rainy Friday (with possible rainbows production), it is also a day to celebrate the addition to my computer gadgets... A Maxtor Onetouch 4 500 GB external hard disk. I've named it!! It's a HIM!!! LOL! His name is Max (same as his brand, but of course, he's my new baby Maxtor). After meeting him for the first time in 1Borneo, P.C. Image computer stall, I kept thinking of having him. Of course, my good, ol' pal, Inspiron 4150, must first be the judge. So today, after work, I brought along Inspiron 4150 to meet with Max and see if they can work happily together. Yeah, yeah... I'm bias... I'll only bring Max home IF Inspiron says yes to him. Oh well, since Max is my new baby, that means Inspiron said YES. Smiles... Now I'm the proud mother of Max.

What I'm doing while blogging about my new baby are checking the product review of Maxtor Onetouch 4 (got a quite positive product review conclusion) and also transferring archives from Inspiron to Max. It is time for Inspiron to slim down a bit after being choked by info since ages and ages ago. Smiles... Now I'm relieved, in fact, I think my ol' pal, Inspiron, will stick with me for a longer period of time. Yay!!! :D
