I've been internet-less for the past 3 weeks. Connection at home's down yet again so I've resorted to purchasing my very own laptop. Owning a laptop seems kind of nice for now. The feeling I get whenever I pop open the cover, the sleekness and smoothness of its casing, the soft click-click of the keypad and not forgetting the oh so cool touchpad which allows me to navigate easily without a mouse. Hell it functions as a mouse.
But there’s a downside to this. If I want to go online, I have to pack up everything and make my way to Starbucks and sit myself down on one of those uncomfortable seats and surf for free. Well, I do have to purchase a drink in order to prevent myself from looking like a cheapskate.
I bought my laptop for RM4499, a price which Keith says is cheap. Hmm..it must be I guess to him because he bought his first one for about RM5K I think and then it got stolen from his car a few months after and he then bought a second one for about the same price or less. I think. Knowing he has spent about RM10K on a laptop, well, RM4499 is cheap!
I was clueless as to what kind of laptop I wanted. Hearing all the specifications was like listening to Greek. All I wanted a laptop for is to do my coursework and to go online. Oh and of course to watch CDs and DVDs whenever I feel like it without having to fight over the player with my brother. Actually the latter is something I thought of after I purchased it. I didn’t specifically go out to buy a laptop for the purpose of watching shows on it. It’s a good investment I guess. This is something I will need in the near future as and when I go overseas to continue my studies.
Ok I don’t know why I’ve written all this down. Maybe because I’ve got nothing else to do and I’m just too bored yet again.
