I bought another laptop on Thursday, the HP Pavilion dv6736nr. So far I am not too impressed but that may be because I am still getting used to Vista. Don’t get me wrong, Vista looks beautiful and I love the feature packed Media Center, however, Microsoft has completely overhauled the UI which makes it more difficult to navigate. Also, I am already tired of being asked repeatedly if I am sure I want to run a program. Back up off of me, Vista.

The laptop is gorgeous with cool abstract shapes covering the case, almost identical to my previous laptop: HP Pavilion dv2000. I do prefer the smaller 14.1 inch screen over a 15.4 inch screen though. I think as time goes by and the more I bond with my new lappy, I’ll begin to like it more but until then I’ll just have to leave you with some cold, hard facts.
