Greetings and Salutations Carbon-based Lifeforms

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Ordered new laptop last week (jan 18th) but AM is delaying putting into production until they get my AM credit card signed (they should have it tomorrow). I hope they can get this thing to me on time as I need it for bookkeeping for my wife's business (I will be doing the bookeeping and need a reasonable laptop to do so as I travel alot ). It's nice to be able to write something like this off since it will clearly be for business purposes.

I am amazed this thing is almost as beefy as my home system (I built it last year).

ThermalTake Xaser III case

I used a DELL 8200 for work.

Welcome to the club Darth!

I would spend sometime perusing the forums (past threads as well) so you can get an idea of how some of us have our home offices setup with the new laptop as it seems you've got quite a few machines running already.

Hang in there during the wait! It's very well worth it!

Again, Welcome

-Craig
