As a software developer for a consulting company, my employer provides me with a computer, in case I need to work from home. Over the past couple of years, they've gone to supplying us with notebook computers instead of desktops.
My time has come for a replacement, so I picked up my new notebook on Friday. I'm mostly over the pain of getting it set up the way I want it, so I thought I'd share the specs (no, I'm not gloating, honest).
Dell Latitude D800
Pentium M 1.7GHz
1 GB 266MHz DDR SDRAM
60 GB hard drive (looks more like 55 GB, but who's counting?)
DVD ROM (woulda been nice to get at least a CD-RW, but oh well...)
15.4" WUXGA Display (about an inch wider than my old notebook)
802.11b/g internal wireless card
NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200, 64 MB memory
10/100/1000 Mb internal network card
Internal V.90 modem
I think that covers it. I'm pretty happy with it, although the odd 1920x1200 resolution seems to make some graphics look funky. Almost everything is sharp and vivid, but I'm finding some choppiness or aliasing on a significant number of graphics, icons, etc. I've tinkered with the video card's settings, ensuring anti-aliasing is on, most importantly. We'll have to see what I find out over time.
Anyway, it's a nice computer. Woohoo!
