dolly description
This is my daily driver. It's an HP Envy X360 laptop. It was given
to me by a fmaily member when the MS Windows installation on it became
orreparably fubar ("Windows fubar'd" is a recurring theme and is one
of the reasons I have so many computers laying around).
This particular box seems to have no hardware problems.
- dual core (but not hyperthreaded) CPU
- 12 GB of RAM
- a decent sized, though not huge, disk drive
- wifi
- Etherner
- the battery works
- usb 3.0
- 15 inch touch scren
I'm not using the built in screen at all as the system sits on the
table with lid closed while I use a 32 inch external monitor and
wireless keyboard and mouse.
I fooled around with it for a day or two trying to resurrect Windows
before just saying "to heck with Windows" and installing my favorite
linux distro.
Uptime is currently at 95 days and I'm not contemplating a reboot any
time soon, though I suppose it wouldn't hurt anything.
