Well I wish I could last longer with my Windows XP laptop, as I heard that Windows Vista would have a lot of problems and was basically quite crappy to use. However I had my old laptop since 2005 and it has been more than 3 years of use and abuse. Anyway there was this Acer laptop for $400 USD plus tax, which was simply too good to pass. So I dived into my pocket and got it home in the end.
So here I am. With another Windows laptop... To be honest the Vista experience has not been too bad for me. Of course it is probably due to the hardware upgrade from a 1.3 GHz single core Celeron CPU to a 2.0 GHz dual core Pentium T3200 for the most part. It is for sure that Windows XP would probably fly on this machine if I can get the software drivers for it to run. Hmmm... Maybe I will check the Acer support web site just in case. ;) However I am set for now and get ready to return to Taiwan in the meanwhile. I hope the 7 days here is more than enough for me to test whether this Acer is good enough for my daily use.
Only time could tell if I have bought a good one for the next 3 years. I surely hope I did. Sure it is not Apple or Sony, and it is not very fancy from the look of things. But for what I did it should be more than enough to get everything going and flying. I just hope I can use it for another 3 or 4 years. By that time the iPhone 6 should be what everyone is using and laptops would probably heading straight to recycle bin for sure. Watch out Microsoft, it would be wise to get Windows Mobile in shape by then. :P
