EA is a slight improvement

alright, so i went ahead and started using my EA laptop today. Overall, the feel of the laptop is better. it's more balanced and works better as a LAPtop because of it. the trackpad on this one seems to be more responsive and slightly smoother. (sony, are you loosing your consistent quality? i thought you'd make each and everyone the same.)

however, i would like to note the differences. the EA came as a home premium, complete with sony's collection of bloatware, whereas the for the EB, i paid extra for it to have a 'fresh start'. Now, there are a LOT of application differences between the two. I'm going to have to spend some time figureing out which to keep on the EA and which to uninstall from the system. The extra applications seriously put a damper on the startup speed though. the two cpu's differ by 0.3ghz, which isn't that big of a deal, yet the EB has a MUCH faster load time. Time to get out the pruners and do some snipping on the background applications.

Right, that's all i have to say about the laptop. I'm glad I got a EA for myself. the EB was driving me bonkers.
