The Slimbook is dead, long live the Slimbook

This be a short article for now, but I'll save the details for when the laptop actually arrives. I am happy to have bought myself a new toy, but the impetus for the purchase wasn't really a happy one, so I don't have this amazing, giddy feeling bubbling inside me. I also didn't spend a great deal of time reading reviews and comparing products, one because I like and know Slimbook's offerings, and two because I didn't think I'd come to any wiser conclusion than the one I already have. Linux-friendly systems are all much alike, they do cost a bit more than the generic off-the-shelf Windows-powered system, but hey.

Well, now we shall wait. I do have a question for you though, if you feel like sending an old-fashioned email. Do you think I ought to re-use all of the Slimbook Pro2's user settings and desktop configurations, or simply start fresh, create a brand new setup, and then just copy the actual user data? If you have an idea or a suggestion, feel free to ping me. Stay tuned for updates.
