On hold... 3 days ago

This will be on the backburner until I owe school no more money, since now I have to use some of the money I was saving for a home on a car.



Untitled 5 days ago

Mine is on its last leg, as it’s almost four years old. That’s ancient in laptop years.

this may take a while 3 weeks ago

I will have to save the money for it first. I guess I could find out how much they cost so that I will know when I have saved enough.



hate my current laptop... 6 months ago

But until goal #1 (get a job) is accomplished, this one will be put on hold.

a surprise gift 8 months ago

my dh picked me up from work today and took me out to pick up a new laptop on the way home
a complete surprise!!
we had been talking about my needing a new one, but money had been tight and other thing are needed more. He told me that this was something that I not only needed for work, but would help take some stress off me and make me smile… and he likes to see me smile
of course … I think he knew he would get something special in return when we got home ;)

anyway… I got an HP Pavilion Notebook
it’s a much nicer laptop then what I was looking at originally and the total price after the sale, coupon, and instate rebate was under $500!! Im very happy :)



My plan 8 months ago

I use this laptop for 6 years. I think it’s time to get a new one because it’s so slow. My friends keeping telling me that if it’s broken, don’t fix it, get a new one may cost less money.

I really want a new one, but i know that to buy a brand new laptop needs more than 12,000 baht. I don’t have that much money. I don’t want my parents to buy it for me because they’ve got so much expense.

My plan is to have my parents pay half of money if i can get into a university. I’ll pay another half.



hmm 9 months ago

Well almost three years ago my boyfriend spilled milk on mine during a pillow fight… and I’m getting my income tax in a few days.So I think it’s time to get one. So I won’t use my brother’s computer anymore and it will be just mine and since I’m having a hard time dealing with not seeing Scott as much since we had to no longer live together it will be easier to deal if I can talk to him via internet more often. and get my w.o.w. account back on and we can play together in spare time. plus when we do finally get a place again. I will have one ready for the bills and starting school again because my desktop is just getting old and it’s a nice simple computer for surfing the web or storeing some pics but not much else. lol. So hopefully here in the next few days new laptop for me =-]

Hurray 11 months ago

I have now new laptop :) Acer TravelMate 5530G :) I will miss my Ferrari, but I think this will be nice. I hope I won’t have problems with it…time will show.



Preferably a tablet... 11 months ago

Gateway C143XL (14” WXGA, Centrino, dedicated GPU) or Fujitsu T5010 (13” WXGA LED backlit, Centrino 2). I had a long discussion about it here: http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/showthread.php?t=21865

But I can’t afford it right now. I’m trying to survive. But I know that clients like it when you show up to meetings with a laptop, ready to show them what you’ve been doing.

I know I want a tablet so I can replace my workstation and draw directly into my computer from wherever I may be. But I’m not a cartoonist (for a living) anymore. So, if six months from now I still lack the cash to buy my dream machine, I want to buy something that works and works well. I’ll hit Lex up for the specs to make sure it plays nice with Second Life, but a plain laptop will cost a lot less than the tablet option.
