rote:
UPS guy didn't even ring the doorbell when he dropped it. It is in nicer c ondition than the M6500. The main advantage is that it has 32 GB of RAM, s o I can keep more tabs open in browsers.
aptop and I followed the instructions which required you to open an email a ccount at Microsoft to set it up and they then used *that* name for the use r name on the account on the PC. That sucks because I have some programs t hat I port by copying over and a change in the user name means a change in the path for tons inside the programs. I slugged through that on the HP ma chine. On the M6500 I found the way to create my own user name and avoid t his pain. On the M6800 an account was already set up named 'user'. So I w ant to change this.
that didn't change the user directory name. So this time I am going to cre ate a new user with the right name and remove the other one. But is there anything special about that user since it was the first one created? My ne w user name will have administrative privileges. Is there anything else sp ecial about that original administrative user that I need to be aware of?
offered and so I don't even notice there is the original user "user" unless I look for it. So for now that is not an issue.
. When I look at the available cooler pads I don't find anything that suit s me. A fan is not needed, I'm not trying to force air into the machine, I 'm just trying to keep my lap cool. The passive devices seem a bit awkward like they are trying too hard. One is pretty good with padding on the bot tom but it has a clip for holding papers like a clip board and that is out of place.
ould buy any manner of seat cushions. One such cushion was really just a m at of open weave plastic so that air could circulate through it easily. I think they tended to wear out used as a car cushion, but for a laptop it sh ould last a long time. But I haven't seen anything like this in decades. Any idea where I might find an open weave 3D pad like this?
I mentioned this to a friend and he knew exactly what I was talking about a nd said he had one for me. It may be an actual seat cushion though and I'l l have to figure out how to make it the right size.
The laptop has very tiny feet which don't provide much air space, I'm surpr ised they work. But then the machine can get rather hot when running flat out. The feet sinking into a highly porous material would not be an issue. Once I have the hard, flat material I still need some sort of insulation below it.
I have seen some laptop pads for your legs, but not many and they always ha ve something goofy about them like the metal paper clip on one or the goofy curved surface with a large angular base that most have.
I'm using this machine as my main laptop now and I like it pretty well. Th is all started because of how HP (and everyone else making laptops these da ys) has compromised the size of some keys. Oddly enough the Dell Precision laptops rearrange the position of a number of keys which his nearly as bad , but at least it is something that can be gotten used to while two keys in one key sized opening will never get better.
