A potential new 'NAS'...?

1030

Change of plan - again.

I compared the comic reading experience of the new HP to the old T60 and it was better on the T60! Viewing more of the comic vertically is a better experience. Anyway, they share the disadvantage of not having batteries so both need to be plugged in at all times, so the newer laptop didn't win on that front.


What this means, however, is that the HP (let's call it “Pav”) is now free for another use, and that use could be as the NAS PC. It's faster and more useable than the little Stream, plus has more ports and storage. I tried connecting it up in place of the Stream and it didn't seem to use much more power. Maybe PavNAS is the way! I might even fit an optical drive bay adaptor to get a HDD onboard for even faster access.
