tardis Mk IV has arrived......
Nov. 5th, 2011 12:48 pmA new laptop -- or a refurbished one -- has been on my wish list for over a year. I ordered one for myself last year around Christmas time, but I sent it back, unopened, as I realized I couldn't afford to keep it. So the only thing I was out was the return shipping costs. Oh well.
A couple weeks ago, I was able to make a good-sized payment on my credit card. I had been looking at a Dell Latitude D620 refurbished laptop on overstock.com. (This one.) I placed my order, and within a week, it was in my hands. I also bought the matching docking station. Now I need to get a second power supply for it, and I'm all set!
A closer look at the machine showed that it was actually a D630. They must have run out of the D620s. So I got a free upgrade. Bonus!
( The specs, what I've done so far, and what I plan to install. And why a refurb? )
