[PLUG] sys76

[jeff via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

The laptop arrived, ready to go.
It's fast.. watching it unpack updates is impressive.
It's sleek, if that matters, as opposed to my existing beast (17").
Backlit keyboard changes colors as it boots. (fascinating, Jim)
All I had to do was put in a few bit of info and I was off.
Packaging was reusable.

Installing my old ssd will require removing a lot of tiny screws. I 
understand there are a lot of connections for different drive 
technologies, including NVMe. It has the requisite ports, placed 
intelligently.

The touchpad is huge and defaults to a backwards scroll, which they call 
'natural scroll,' which is switchable.


Not happy that the number keys are more narrow than the others, but I'll 
live.
Truly not happy that I installed Xubuntu desktop and the display goes 
entirely blank when I try to log into it. Gnome isn't my favorite.

more later



I miss bench seats.
