Laptop

公司因为一些事情，给我额外配了一台电脑。这台电脑原来的主人是公司一位离职的领导，因此屏幕比我们用的电脑稍微大一点。机器运行的是 Windows XP 系统，因此感觉非常流畅。

今天，在 Twitter 上有人告诉我说我的博客的数据库服务器出问题了，无法访问。我于是需要 SSH 进去，重新启动一下 mysql 服务就行，于是我拿出了带着的 ThinkPad X250，结果发现居然没电了，连一点反应都没有。

今天，经过了许久的调查与犹豫，我下单购买了 ThinkPad X250。我不缺计算机使用，手头上用的是 2013 年中期发售的 MacBook Pro，具有 2.4GHz 的 core i5 CPU、8GB 的内存、SSD 硬盘、Retina 屏幕，跑起来非常流畅，完全足够日常使用。我之所以买 X250，是因为我想有个专门的计算机来跑 FreeBSD。

Yesterday was a fantastic day, because I could run Ubuntu on my laptop. I had heard about Linux when I was in primary school. I tried to get one and use it, but always couldn’t achieve it. Sometime my parents didn’t buy it for me(the Internet was not that strong in that days), or sometimes I didn’t have a computer for my own use(if I installed Linux, others couldn’t use the computer), or most of the time my laptop didn’t support Linux.

昨天我盼望已久的DELL XPS M1330终于寄到了，感觉很不错。重量不沉，2G内存使得运行默认的Windows Vista跑的相当流畅。机器的包装也非常讲究，除去背包不算，一个与本子合身的小包就显得很优雅了。早知道会有这么一个包，我就不订背包了。加上这个小包，本子可以比较安全的放在任何一个包里。没有背包上显眼的XPS三个大字，显得不那么张扬。
