So how's that new laptop going? did you get touchscreen on it? (I notice that seems to drop the available resolution).
Had a look at the photos, and it seems "boxy". Very thick and square looking. It's important to consider how it looks, people judge you. ;) Oh sure it has fruit but if its ugly then is that a show stopper? Would I buy a Volvo? (They are boxy but safe. lol) On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 2:30 PM, David Connors <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 4:16 PM, Peter Griffith <[email protected]>wrote: > >> What’s works best for software development?**** >> >> ** ** >> >> Windows 2008 R2 and Hyper-v for VMs**** >> >> ** ** >> >> Windows 2008 R2 and VPC for VMs**** >> >> ** ** >> >> Windows 7 and Hyper-v for VMs**** >> >> ** ** >> >> Windows 7 and VPC for VMs**** >> >> ** ** >> >> Multi-boot? >> > > Just did my laptop refresh and bought a Dell Precision M4600.
