New Laptop Specs

Well after much deliberation, I decided to get a laptop. I will use this mainly at work as it will give me something to do while I am not studying Japanese or planning lessons.

Sorry about the shit photo, it came from my keitai….

Here are the specs:

IBM Lenovo (yuck) Thinkpad T61

T7300 processor (2ghz, 4mb L2 cache)

2gb ram

160gb 5400rpm hdd

15.4″ screen (1680×1050)

Dvd burner

Fingerprint reader

I got this laptop from Sphericus who had a nice deal on some laptops. My only beef about it is that it doesn’t have a camera, and more importantly, it has no TV-out which is quite surprising. Apart from that, it works fine, even with the vista that came preloaded with it. I have also been stress testing the maching by running BOINCwhich is a client for distributed computing. If you have some spare CPU cycles, why not donate them for a worthy cause. I’m just running it to see how the computer can handle 100% cpu usage for hours at a time :-P
