I'm so excited, this is my first laptop and my first PC since 2000. I can finally retire the old Dell 8200 (which is still chugging along).
My inner geek is very happy right now. I know, it's not a Macbook pro, (nor is it a hand built masterpiece from the Nuclear Muffin Test Kitchen) but this will last me quite a while and it was $800 thanks to the employee discount we get through the firm. And, it's RED!
