it arrived at the parent's place today. It's a toshiba. Mum read of "teeraa8c2d1.661G80DVD" blah de blah, so having filtered through mum-speak I'm pretty sure it's this one. 1.66Ghz, 1G memory, 80G hard drive. She mumbled some junk about the DVD player but presumably it will write DVDs which is a MAJOR plus.
Verdict: My current baby, Nita, is 1.69Ghz, 512, 40G. So basically everything's doubled except processor speed (that is processor speed, right, GHz?) I have no idea if I'm even going to notice the difference, to be honest. *shrug* Anyone got any experience with toshiba? Good stuff? Bad stuff? what am I going to call something to go with Kit-the-external and Dairine-the-pod? Nita 2.0 is always a plan, of course. Or - ooh - Ponch.
ETA: oh yeah, and the OS is Vista Business (or that's what my mama said anyway) and I'm thinking quite seriously about installing ubuntu. Maybe a... dual boot? is that what it's called when you can pick which one you want to open up with? Yeah, well anyway. What can ubuntu do and is it hard? I have a pal who runs it and I might have a flick at that.
