Tech review: Dell Precision M90
My laptop carked it last week, so I arranged for an I.T. wallah to leave a replacement in my office for collection over the weekend. What I found, bulging from a never-used cabinet, was the Bruce Willis of laptops: a nails-hard mo-fucker with string-vest swagger, glistening with a lambent sheen of testosterone. Packed with its car battery-sized adaptor, and ‘Don Quixote’, it rippled the surface of my bag and ate up every ounce of my carry-on allowance.
Now I realise that there is more to my new laptop than brute might: although engendered in the physical form, its potency extends beyond the formal or the corporeal. It seems to read, and feed on, my libido, and I in turn respond to the ease with which it articulates my most primal desires. The centre of the (l)id is ensorcelled with the “Dell” rune, an unblinking chakra dominating the psychic landscape. As I write this, I feel myself awash in the gelid light not only of the screen, but of an unyielding will, a power to vanquish all my clients enemies, but which, wrongly-handled, could result in my annihilation. The Hrunting to my Beowulf, the Aegis to my Zeus.

Fair to say you’re a tad pleased with it then?

Posted on 20-Nov-06 at 2:14 pm | PermalinkWhen doing battle with the client scum I have also found that Dell is the face that launched a thousand applications. But, by the same token, my laptop battery is the Achilles Heel of the machine; and Acrobat Reader their Trojan Horse. Hope this helps. Congratulations on your new computer.

pog: not unless I develop a total disregard for tenant regulations, I won’t.
