Lenovo X61s notebook

14 04 2008

Finally, my long journey for a new notebook is ended and the winner is lenovo X61s (B67).

It has one 160G hard disk, 3G physical memory, finger print, L7700 (1.8GHz). And it costs $12,000 HKD (and bundled with free USB DVD writer as well). I am very satisfy with the hardware.

The only downside, it is pre-installed with Vista business. Frankly speaking, the Vista is not that difficult to use. However, it is quite slow in compare with XP. You cannot feel you’re using the latest CPU with 3G of memory.

Obvious solution is install another OS. I’ve two options:

a) downgrade to window XP – or -

b) install ubuntu (8.04 is coming soon)

But before that, I must backup the Hidden partition and every first.
