I love my new business laptop - Dell D510.

Ok lah, it's not as sleek and small as my 12.1" Fujitsu, but at 14", it's still not big / chunky enough to overwhelm me.

Actually, anything is better than the model I was previously using. Not so much the model's fault, but at the ancient age of 3 (computer) years, my previous lappy was pretty much hobbling along.

It took 5 mins just to start up.
Its battery can last for a grand total of 15 minutes before I have to scramble for the powerplug.
Its keyboard is jammed full of crumbs (ok, that was my doing, mostly).
I literally counted the seconds go by while waiting for my Excel models / Powerpoint presentations / Word documents to fully open.
And I waited somemore for it to recalculate my Excel formulas.

Ah, truly a test of perseverance. In some ways, I'll miss my good ol' black lappy. After all, there's always a special place in the heart for life's 1sts, in which case, the lappy has the honour of being my first business laptop.

Still - treasure the old, welcome the new!
