Cool Cassini gets a laptop

Laptop, notebook, I don't know what the difference is. Behold:



The Toshiba Satellite A215-S4697, complete with Windows Vista, DVD player/burner, 120 GB hard drive, and wireless internet, among other things. Purchased on the 12th of this month from Office Depot because I'm not going to the Con without my Sims.

Now if I can just figure out how it works...

We'll help you figure it out! Yay! Also, I was gonna remove Sims from my laptop (and move it to my desktop) but I guess I'll wait till after the Con so you can see what I've got. How big's the screen?

The screen is about 8.25" x 13", 15.5" diagonally, give or take a bit, and thanks, I'll need all the help I can get.

Yeah, I definitely want to see your Sims stuff.

I installed the first four (of 18) disks for the Sims 2 earlier today, and found out something I'd expected; the game is a power hog. It sucks the life out of the battery as fast as a vampire sucks the life out of an innocent victim. I think I won't be playing the game in the park. On the bright side the graphics are very nice and it runs smoothly, so I'm pretty happy about that.

I'm really glad your graphics are working well (so far! who knows, with upcoming expansion packs), as you know mine doesn't work at optimum level with my notebook which is why I'm going to migrate it to my desktop.

And as for me I really have no intention of even using my notebook outside the hotel room, plugged into the wall.

Niiiiice I just got a laptop a couple of months ago as well, and it's almost the same as yours! I like Toshiba laptops; I haven't had a complaint yet.
