My husband decided to get himself a new laptop. His old one eats half the battery while booting, and then he doesn’t have enough juice to watch a movie on an airline flight. We have a DC inverter when we use it as a GPS while we travel. It’s also a luggable size, so it’s a pain to travel with.<\/p>\n
He got the laptop in time for Christmas eve, and it came with Windows Vista Ultimate installed. I left him alone to set it up, and he got most things done — he’s having trouble with his DSL connection, and we think it’s going to require a telephone support call to determine why we keep losing our connectivity. I don’t plan to move to Vista with the rest of the world — I’ve decided to shift to MacBook Pro <\/a>for my next purchase (whenever that may be). Since hubby will now be the Windows expert by default, I picked up a couple of books for him to use.<\/p>\n I did look at the laptop, and I have to admit grudgingly that Windows Vista has a pleasing interface. It also seems to work fairly well. My husband uses his computers far differently than I do, but he chose this laptop to support what he uses a laptop for, and I think he’s chosen well. It’s a Sony Vaio FZ285. We now own four Sony computers — three laptops and a desktop. He’s going to configure the old laptop for the grandkids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My husband decided to get himself a new laptop.
