Our new toys have arrived

So around 4pm today mine and Tiffany’s new laptops arrived. I have to admit that they are a little bigger than I expected, but that is only because i failed to realize, I don’t know how but I did, that these have 17 inch widescreen displays. Not that that is a bad thing, actually I rather like it and think it will make watching DVDs even more enjoyable. We both got a Dell Inspiron E1705 with the following specs:

  • Intel® Core™ Duo Processor T2250 (1.73GHz/533MHz FSB)
  • 60GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
  • 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz
  • Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 Internal Wireless (a, b, g compatible)
  • 17 inch Wide Screen XGA+ Display
  • Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950
  • 53 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery

The only difference between the two is that mine has a dual layer DVD burner, and Tiffany’s has a combo DVD player CD burner. In addition we each got carrying cases, mine is a back pack and hers is an attache case. We are both happy to have them and I am sure we will spend some time setting them up completely over the next few days. Now I will have to begin the process of preparing the other computers for recycling.
