My new laptop arrived yesterday. It is an Inspiron 9400 from Dell. The pricing was very attractive for this Centrino Duo. If you want a light, compact notebook this notebook is not for you. However, if you thirst for power and a big screen is greater than the inconvience of a heavier, larger notebook, this machine is right up your alley. I bought this as a box to demo server software and occasionally punch out DVDs for our farm. As a note to myself I deleted:

1. Acrobat
2. AOL
3. Earthlink
4. McAfee
5. Java

I installed my virus checking software from TrendMicro and new versions of:

1. Acrobat 7.07
2. Java 1.5
3. Flash and Shockwave

Then I installed my applications, Office 2003, Pinnacle Studio, QuickBooks, and Vmware. Someday soon I will upgrade to XP Pro but for the time being I will run with the Home version. There are trial versions of WordPerfect and QuickBooks Simple Start I will leave on for the time being.
