My new HP Elitebook Folio 9480m (oooh, elite!) is here at the office, so it's time to shutdown the old Dell Latitude E6400 and spend some time moving my life over. (With more to follow tonight, since I left my backup drive at home.)
The new unit is about the same footprint, excluding the battery sticking out of the back of the Dell, but between 1/2-1/3 the thickness.
Aside from the standard MS Office and various Cisco bits and bobs, software for me to install includes
LastPass – password manager
Dropbox – cloud storage
Filezilla – FTP client
MessageExport – Outlook message archiver
Snagit – screen caps and graphics editor
yWriter5 – writing software
BestSync – backup
Chrome should be pre-installed, though I'll need to do the 64-bit upgrade later.
One long-time item missing is Xmarks — since I really do use Chrome everywhere, interbrowser bookmark sharing is a lot less critical. And since Xmarks was causing me grief lately, I went ahead and just changed over to Chrome's bookmark syncing, which has been working fine.
All loaded (except for backed up documents) and all is, so far, working smoothly.
(Parenthetical note — I might use this for some NaNoWriMo write-in work, assuming I ever get to one this month, just to see. My current Asus Eee netbook is driving me mad.)
