new install. Should work for school. Running SATA 1.5gbps (ask intel, not me), but still booting about the same as Ubuntu. Takes less than 10 seconds from power on to desktop and about 2 seconds to internet. But I am slowly loosing battery charge (went from 96 minutes battery last monday to about 92 minutes today).
Not Windows 8 :O !!!
Wolfe, you're almost as bad as me for re-installing. I seem to spend my whole life re-installing Windows. :/
Why?
I google my resolution and click on images then just grab one that looks good to me and save it, then open it and make it the desktop (because for whatever reason google removed the right click and make it my desktop from the right click menu).
