i'll most likely be buying a 2gb stick to add on to the 1gb the notebook comes with and eventually buying a new HD, and i'll be immediately throwing xp on it
now i play the waiting game
-
if you're gonna buy a new hdd, get the 320gb 5400prm
-
congrats in your new laptop. You are going to enjoy it
-
enjoy it have fun
-
Grats!!! looks good
-
The_Observer 9262 is the best:)
Congrats
-
I see you had to purchase the Vista Home edition It really is too bad about the whole dos licensing. But congrats on the purchase, we're in the waiting pool together now!
-
yea, sorta sucks i couldn't get the dos license, but atleast if i ever, for some strange reason, want to go vista, i can. i'm 99% sure i'll be installing xp once i get it though.
and i'm sure i'll enjoy it -
I have ordered it too. The bad part that it takes forever to receive it. Still no news from Lenovo. I might give it a call.
-
when did you order? i'm sure you're eventually going to get yours, so calling would probably be pointless as they are most likely going to say something like, "it's been shipping don't worry," or "blah blah has delayed the process and it will soon be shipped."

i was thinking about getting vista business 64 because it was only an extra $20, but if i want a 64bit version of vista, i guess i can request the 64bit version of home premium. maybe eventually i'll see how cheap i can get vista ultimate 64bit for if i really want/need to use vista. i dunno, from all the things i've heard and read, vista will not run well on 1gb of ram, it takes a lot of tweaking to make it work well, and xp just runs things (like games) better. plus, i already own winxp, so i think i'm just going to "downgrade" to xp once i get the laptop instead of using vista.
unless of course someone has an opinion on this situation -
-
Since we're on the topic of OS's, I actually had a quick question in case anyone knew the answer. I purchased it with the 32bit Vista Business. If I ever wanted to test out the same thing but 64 bit, how would I go about doing that? I wouldn't have to buy a new license right? I think I read that the 32bit license works for the 64 bit as long as its the same version?
-
no, there's a way to request the 64bit cd from microsoft if you own the 32bit license. you just pay for shipping (i think its ~$10). let me see if i can find the link...
-
-
why can't i search for threads i've created anymore?
-
Congratulations! I've ordered my recently too, the waiting game kinda sucks, but it will be worth it!
-
Nice. Now try to stop counting the seconds for the next few days.
-
i'll see what i can do
-
Thanks for the link btw! +Rep to you my friend. Yeah not counting down the seconds is hard to do. I even got a *&$(#*@$ mixup with my order!: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=3452071
Talk about blue balls -
heh, yea that sucks i just read your thread. how do they mixup an order like that? that's ridiculous i say.
-
-
i mean i find it pretty bad that they posted the wrong tracking number on your order... as long as i knew i was getting the laptop and nothing was cancelled or sent somewhere else i'd be happy with that. i'd call and ask for a set time, not an estimated one
however, accidents happen i suppose. things get lost in big corporations very easily, but i don't think stuff like this should happen. yea, you're right, i don't think you should call and complain, but i'd ask/demand for specific dates and such instead of asking for free upgraded shipping. -
Finally ordered.. :D
