Lenovo Update

I Love My New Laptop!
I updated Windows 7 pro, and then make my back up copy of the OS (written to dvds), then made an image of the system, then partitioned the hard drive to install Backtrack 5 R3, and updated that.

A couple of things along the way:
Ubuntu didn't see my wireless card, Linux Mint on the other hand did.
I found out that I have a usb 3.0 port and a external sata port as well, and that it will boot off of my sd card! Epic!

The Keyboard is nice, still getting used to the switched Function key and Control key, but I'll can change it in the BOIS.

Another thing I really liked, was when I booted it up for the first time, it didn't have that much bloat-ware.
I uninstalled, norton, and office 2012 demo, and that was it. It came with Chrome set up as the default browser, and Evernote as part of the softwares installed.

Over all, I Love it, and in a bit I'll add more Ram, but a great laptop at a great price!
