Moving it all around

As you might remember from a post on 7 August I’ve been waiting for a laptop to arrive from Toshiba, this is part of the Talk Toshiba campaign that invites bloggers and regular forum contributors to review a Tecra A8 or other Toshiba product.

Well this morning I got a call from my wife to tell me the laptop had arrived and that I was NOT allowed to come running home and play with it - that I had to stay at work.

So I managed to stay at work and to rub salt in the wound ended up having to work really late. It’s now 9pm and I’ve only just got home and turned on the laptop.

While I’m writing this the Tecra is going through the installation process - it comes with Windows installed but in need of setting up - all seems fairly straight forward - now all I need to do is remember my WiFi WPA code

This isn’t the review - this is just me saying ‘hey look - I’ve got a laptop to review - aren’t I special. The actual review will come the day after I give the laptop back - that will give me time to try it out in a number of different situations and using a number of different bits of software.

As we speak I’m transferring files I use regularly (my book for a start) to an 8gb memory stick that will act as my My Documents folder while using the laptop.

So my apologies if things, ie blogging, is a little thin on the ground over the next couple of days while I get my life transfered and into the habbit of using a laptop.

Oh and first impressions of the Tecra - light, bright, comfortable layout - Lets just say I’ve been looking at the Toshiba website to see how much the newer models cost.
