Vacation hardware lust...(2)
Once again...
This one seems nice, for the little I've been able to handle it, looks rather plastic, and (at least running the shop's demo 24x7) feels rather hot.
It has only a 160 SSD HDD, and the resolution its a measly 1368x768.
Another IBM beauty.
Tech specs seem the same than last year model, with the added of a SSD HDD (only for the OS, I presume...) but the price dropped hundred bucks.
Again, only drawback is the resolution.

Ebooking
Got a somehow nice deal on a brand new Kindle Touch 3G, so I went ahead and finally got an ebook last Monday...
I've tried using my BB as an ebook of sorts in the past, but it is nearly useless and übber cumbersome to do so.
Didn't have much time to play around with it yet, except that I plugged it onto my Linux Mint Maya, and, after I've calibre'd onto .mobi about 60 of my books, copied those to the KT.
There were no problems at all, except for a little error message pop up when unmounting the KT, but didn't affect anything at all.
The free 3G link works A Ok in Buenos Aires, but obviuosly it is only good for browsing the Amazon website of Wikipedia.

A Minty & MATE month
Things went really smooth with it, no real problems that I can recall, the only thing are missing stuff, say, functionality here and there, but real small potatoes.
For instance... There is no Global Menu, for starters, but what a hell, I went with the traditional Mint layout, and so far I'm pretty comfortable.
And the Panel Calendar doesn't show the appointments from my Google Calendar, not a big deal.
