crisavecI bought my new laptop April 19th, and I just did the first upgrade to it. I think that may be a record for any system, 7 months from purchase/build to upgrade. In fairness I only replaced the 100GB drive with a 200GB drive, and 7 months ago you couldn't get 2.6" 7200 RPM drives in anything bigger than 100GB.
I spent the weekend installing applications and updates and you name it to get the laptop ready for use on Monday...there is a downside to using your own hardware rather than company issued. I also built a VM for corp use...that will run Outlook and the couple Corp apps I need and then everything else I'll do my my laptop directly. guess it was a good thing I maxed out everything when I bought the laptop...because it handles it all nicely.
