Q: What's the difference between Computrace and a computer virus?
A: Computrace never got their spreading routine to work.

I don't usually like post-2006 laptops, but this little Dell really has a nice feature set. It's got a high-end CPU for its age, a dedicated GPU, a really sturdy metal frame, and a generally solid feel to it. It's just a shame that they couldn't stay away from the cancer that is touch buttons, and the desire to run a battery monopoly. Cheeky buggers.
