Laptop Accessories
I just received my Dell Inspiron 1505 for my wife and need some accessories. I appreciate suggestions on a case that's fairly slim (it's a 15.4 Widescreen laptop). Also suggestions on a cable lock that can't be defeated by a BIC pen or cardboard TP tube.
On a side note, it took me a few hours to set up the darn thing. I installed McAffee since it was free but will uninstall it and use AVG. Updated all the XP security things. Got rid of the AOL stuff. Man there is just so much crap that comes with it out of the box. It has a 60gig 7200 RPM HD and fresh out of the box there's only 40 gigs worth of free space. Is that right? Does XP Media Center addition and everything take up 20 gigs?
