This post is supposed to be about politics, but then out of the excitement of receiving my new laptop today, politics will have to wait (sorry Sonia).
I placed an order for a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop on Dell's website last Wednesday, because I need a laptop when I study in the University of Nottingham. Dell's unique ordering system allows buyers to easily customise their order to suit their personal needs. Once they received the customer's order, then only the ordered product is manufactured - just in time. So I was informed that from processing my order to having my laptop delivered takes about 1-2 weeks. Here is a summary of the technical specifications of the laptop I ordered, if you're interested:
Processor | Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 (2.0 Ghz) |
|---|---|
RAM | 2GB |
LCD Screen | 14.1" |
HDD | 160GB |
Operating System | Windows Vista Home Basic |
Compared to other manufactures, I find that the Dell Inspiron range offers one of best laptops in terms price-to-performance ratio in market. That means a lower price for a more powerful computer. Aesthetically speaking however, the Inspiron line of laptops are nothing special, unlike what you get with a Dell XPS or Sony Vaio. But I don't mind; it's the inside that counts.
Barely a week passed, and today I found the laptop delivered at my doorstep after school. Here I would like to share with you the excitement of getting a new laptop.
The unopened box.
Open sesame! I see the notebook bag.
A smaller box labelled "INSPIRON". Is my laptop inside?
No... but no doubt they are essential items.
Another box made of polystyrene underneath.
The main thing.
The Espresso Brown exterior.
Ready to roll.
