Catching up? I caught up!

Things have changed. I have changed in so many ways its not possible to put it all in one blog post. So I'll start with the most important fact: I don't use a Samsung notebook anymore. Nope. I got tired of it very quickly and bought my own HP Mini 5101 which I still love after almost a year of use.

The differences between the Samsung N140 and HP Mini 5101 begin with the shift key. Notice how the right shift is nice and long on the HP? Yes, it is that important. Further more the keyboard is top quality; with regards to feel, touch response and durability I have yet to find a better keyboard than what HP has put together. Having internal 3G, 802.11n capability, adequate battery life, Windows 7 and a fair processor build up to be what I consider a worthwhile purchase. The casing is aluminium and feels very sturdy. The speed of the Windows 7 system on it is moderate even from a power user perspective and quite fine when considering that it's a notebook. Being small and sturdy means I can easily fit it inside a smallish shoulder bag and since it doesn't weight much it can be carried around without stress on the shoulder.

Mostly I use the notebook for gathering information from the web, but I also do a lot of writing and office work with it since it's handy to keep around for the instant you need to type something down. The reason I bought it myself instead of having one from work is simple: It's mine. I can use it when ever and where ever I like. No obligations and no restrictions. I also customized the thing to make my point loud and clear:

Having this notebook has truly helped me. Next I must find a decent smart phone to switch to.. Samsung Galaxy S or HTC Desire perhaps? We'll see.
