It's here. Super display quality from even absurd viewing angles :) (better than my PC main display), very good sound indeed for a size like this , and Linux and stuff runs smoother and faster on it than on my PC. Needing to tailor and tune the usual things which will cost time, I am still not that blindly familiar with Linux, maybe never will be (compared to Wíndows), but I so far and after 4 hours I am a happy customer.

Thought I'd share this with those of you who consider to move to Mint sooner or later. https://sites.google.com/site/easyli...cinnamon-first This is a great way to continue after you have done the base installation. The base installation does not explained in this, but all the recommended first steps to follow after it. Also, there are many sub-"wikis" linked to in the list, focussing on specific things in more detail. I think this is a good read you should do before you start to install, it gives you a good overview and introduction to what to expect. You may be tempted to think that this is difficult stuff, due to the importance of inputs via the socalled Terminal. Bu this tool only is needed for background administration, and system maintenance beyond the ordinary every-day-routines. In normal life, you will not need to use it once you have set up the system in detail - and problems are very rare under Linux, Windows gives you more often a headache. Usually you will just paste and copy command lines from wikis and forum advices when you asked for help, and insert them into the Terminal without knowing what the options and command syntax really means. The importance of the Terminal is no argument against using Linux, you must not be intimidated by it - really. At least if you just live a private user life in front of your machine and do not depend on using it for server maintenance and complicated network administration etc. :) As you can see I still need to tweak the script permissions in Firefox a bit, text formatting currently works - not as intended...LOL

One month in, the new laptop still making you happy?

It does, but I do not do any fancy stuff with it, mostly browsing and emails. First latop I ever had seen or maintained that is as fast, if not faster, than my main PC. Linux adds its boost to the fast hardware,too.

Its the off-the-routine stuff that can give you headaches in Linux at times.

Too bad that chess is a sad, sad affair under Linux.
