My dream business laptop

admin

I am looking to buy a decent laptop for the everyday needs. Browsing, email, ssh with putty, virtualbox and some word processing and spreadsheets. Nothing too fancy. Also it has to be really portable. Not a 17 inch laptop/desktop replacement.

In bullets this is what a laptop should have

  • 13-14 inch
  • =<1.5kg
  • =>6GB RAM
  • >=128GB SSD
  • Preferably backlit keyboard
  • Ability to upgrade memory and hard disk
  • => 2 USB ports
  • Gigabit network
  • Wireless (b,g,n)
  • Web camera
  • SD reader

Am I asking too much? Oh and the price has to be below 700£ 🙂

 

Format… and now what?

I admit it. I am not a fan of format. I like my system as it is. After almost 4 years I had to format my workstation. Since I had to do it I installed a Crucial m4 SSD which was sitting on my desk for some time. Windows 7 Ultimate installed in no time thanks to Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool.

And now what? It is really boring and time consuming to reinstall all the nice tools I use daily.

OK I have installed too many applications and a clean up it is nice. I found this incredible nice tool called Ninite ! It is amazing!

It includes most of the applications I really need in daily basis and with just one click I was able to install them. Latest version too!

Fantastic! Saved a lot of time.  Give it a try!
