Laptop Dell D830

Yep, something completely different than I was contemplating about before. Basically the laptop will be my second brain so I need to be able to rely on its operation. After reading hundreds of forum threads on the IBM Thinkpad and MBP, which were not as positive as I would expected. I decided to go for plain-old mainstream. The Dell Latitude D830 was the next best business notebook on the market.

A notebook without software is nothing, so I have compiled the following software titles as a must have:

• Roboform (no need to remember all the passwords, there is already enough to remember)
• Microsoft Office 2007, the Microsoft Killer application
• Mindmapper, mind mapping software
• Corel Paintshop Pro, the mother of paint
• Adobe Acrobat writer and reader
