Get a new laptop

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

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 :)

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.

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 =-]

this needs to happen soon…
now that my old one is no longer working, I can’t get online when I’m on the road…
I don’t like these long break from 43T

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.

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.

my old lap top is barely hanging on .. and I mean that literally.
the hinges are broken that connect the screen to the keyboard and the wires and now starting to shear … anytime now I expect it to go out and never come back on or to just not turn on next time I push the power button

I have my eye on two new ones the Acer one or the Asus Eee 1000 the Asus being my favored choice since it has a hard drive rather then a flash drive but both would fit my purpose, and both are right around $400.
I wont be able to get either for another month or so, so if my present laptop doesn’t hold out I may be off the net and off 43T for a while

so if I just disappear … you’ll know what happened

Ok, so the laptop I currently have is a Compaq Armada 1592DT Intel Pentium 233 MMX with 64MB RAM and 3(?)GB hard disk, I run SuSE Linux on it, but it is just too slow, I need a new laptop, soemthing I can use while in bed or on the loo, coding away or writing my memoirs or just checking up on 43things!

my new macbook is in the mail!
