My baby is Coming....

Having studied at IIT for 5 years and now working in a consulting firm where I have to spend a lot of time in front of the laptop, I have become a computer buff. I now like doing everything in front of the computer - be it any news item (I prefer timesofindia.com to the actual Times of India) or even a movie (I prefer watching movies on my computer compared to the crappy PVR). The only thing that I probably like to do offline is read a paperback novel. All this means that I like to keep my laptop updated with the latest softwares (like codecs, games etc).

The laptop which the company has given to me is like an antique piece. It weighs a ton and is extremely slow. In fact it is so slow that I have become "Chacha Chowdhary" now(Chacha chowdhary ka dimaag computer se bhi tez chalta hai). Until recently I had all the administrator right for my laptop, so I was able to install whatever software I wanted to install. I thought that I could make do with it as long as it was solving my purpose. However, due to a mishap (which is too painful to elaborate here) at the client side I was stripped of all admin rights and my comp was formatted. That proved to be the last straw.

I started searching for a new lappy and after - rigorous research for 2 days and 2 nights and listening to the dell-is-the-best-value-for-money banter, I decided to go for Lenovo Y650. It has received some rave reviews for its looks and performance. It's a real piece of art and has a pretty neat configuration (2.53 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HD, 256 MB graphics card - What else can you ask for!!). What makes me more happy is that it is now priced at $1250 and I purchased it at $1100 :). A friend of mine is bringing my baby from US this weekend.

Hope the problems between my baby and I are limited to the bedroom and never go out (read Repair Shop) :P !!
