I have a new Laptop to configure (replacing an old XP), I've read the reviews..
Amazon.com: ASUS D550MA-DS01 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black ): Computers & Accessories

Reading the 'advice', it seems I'll have to spend about a day updating the OS, before using the system..

I'll delivery it to my Sister-in-law in a couple of days.. I hope!

I've been using '7' on my new desktop PC, for a while now, and like it. It's like a faster version of XP..

I'm going to try to update my old XP PCs up with Linux mint-16- Mate.
I've been checking it out using a USB drive. So far, it looks promising.
But, it might turn out to be too complex for an old guy..
I'm not much of a IT guy.. I forget stuff too quickly..
