Shiny thing

[lizziec]

My new laptop (Thinkpad SL500) arrived on Wednesday, which was extremely exciting for me. As always, I got a lot of pictures :) Now I've finished setting it up and moving files around I finally got around to getting the pictures off my camera and posting them here to show off :)


My old laptop (Thinkpad R50e) was old...


...and pretty busted :/ (Yes, that is micropore holding a corner on.)


When I got back from picking it up there was some post for me :)


It was my new copy of Ramona Forever! :D

I'm not quite sure how I managed it, but I was patient enough to take pictures of the unwrappening:



The lid is shiny, but fingerprints silly easily.


Old vs New (click to embiggen).

All pictures.

The new one runs like a dream, even with Vista installed. I think I'm in love (sorry benc).

I'm still trying to decide what to do with my old one, which is staying with me for a few weeks at least so I'm sure I have everything I need from it and I'm completely happy with my new one. Any ideas? Any people maybe interested in taking it?

Chop it into bits and stuff them inside a teddy! Then it'll be an uber cool geeky teddy and all the other teddys will be jealous...

...wait, I think that only works with leftover usb sticks. I have one and i was gonna decapitate a teddy, shove the lid in the head and the main stick in the rest of its body. Only problem is I have no teddy. Laptopteddy would be awesome though.

Oo or dismantle it and disguise it in a cornflakes box. I saw someone do that somewhere. Gotta do something with it and its always fun to take things apart!
