Well, despite the trouble I had with the ordering process, the laptop came through in just over a week. It was sitting on my desk at work yesterday morning.

I must say that I’m impressed with the laptop. It’s the new Studio 1537 model, which has 4 USB ports instead of the previous model’s 3. The screen is beautiful, and it has an amazing horizontal viewing angle. The screen is nice and bright too, much more so than the old junker we’ve been using.

I’m definitely looking forward to getting mine (a Studio 17, or perhaps a Studio XPS 16) later in the year. Until then, I’m going to wipe the junker clean and install the upcoming Windows 7 RC on it. It will be quite interesting to see how this goes, as I’ve heard good things about Windows 7 running on low-powered computers.
