I had nothing but great experience with W7 on my desktop. I just don't understand how can W7 make so much trouble on a laptop.
Hey Guys & Gals, I'm looking into getting a brand new computer. First one I've had in over 7 years. All of this new stuff freaks me out. I'm looking into getting a Windows 7. After reading some of the complaints do you all think that I should wait before I get it or go ahead and get it?? Is it really that different from XP?? Thanks
It seems pre-installed w7 (comes with new PC) runs amazing, with all the drivers preset, but upgrades v/xp->7 don't always play out well with drivers not working etc... This is not true for all but it seems many guys are real happy with new W7s but unhappy with upgrades from xp. I had no issues on my office test pc but that's just me.
Ubuntu is the best IMO. You can get a cheap windows version if you really need to dual boot for certain programs, but for majority of work Ubuntu works great. For those that don't know, Ubuntu is an easy to install linux OS which runs faster then any other OS and has pretty much the same features. http://www.ubuntu.com/
That makes me feel better. I must say that I've been nervous about getting such a big upgrade. I didn't have Vista before and from what I understood, Vista was terrible....
I think window 7 will be a nice OS, better than Xp (7 is rich of features! Look on youtube) and better of Vista of course! Ubuntu is a great OS easy and fast and... FREE!!! Yeah Open source rules But the best OS I think is still Leopard from Apple in my opinion!
I am using Windows 7 with Lenovo G450. It is working absolutely fine for me. I started to love this OS. Much comfortable than XP.
May be lots of freeware are pre-installed on your laptop by IBM. Go to control panel and uninstall unwanted freewares. I think you have not used vista. Lots of things has changed after vista. My computer -> computer My Document -> Documents Click on start icon, and you will find these. Just do some tweaking, and I am sure you will love windows 7.
i never use win 7, till now i always use xp, for next time i will use win 7 may be. so i cant review, but i hear that win 7 is better than vista.
i have a dell studio series lappy .. with config liek urs .. i dont face any problems .. :-? .. It may be due to .. Software , virus/adware , Hardware Malfunction .. :-? ,, Get ur Lappy checked at IBM
On my opinion, w7 ultimate is great. Works just perfect for me. It was not too easy to understand everything from the first shot but now I'm completely satisfied.
I surprise reading your opinion. All over the world it's been accepted and working great than xp and vista. I do have 7 installed with my 'ibm' lap and its just great!
Windows 7 is great for me. It is not slow at all its very fast. I have a VAIO labtop with 4GB ram and a 450 harddrive and a premium graphics card. So yah... maybe thats why its now slow.
