My New Toy...

Actually, I had no intension of getting a new lappy as soon as now until is 6-9mths later....
The free HP lappy really sucks to the max!!!!....I cun us IB via tat comp, cun watch mobtv, surfing net is damn bloody slow....take ages to load & often when i was multiplying & on facebook, jam the entire network at home...& hb was cursing tat he was doing work halfway & the internet gave way.....dun no wats wrong...tried re-installing the java, reformat windows etc numerous times & still can't b done...& the ram was 1.5 gb...processor was not tos too slow kind 1 lor...can u believe it? hai...dun wanna talk abt it liao...

I was pondering over to get a Macbook Air or Sony Vaio...Both r expensive buys...but hb has a macbook at home for 3 years & i still dun get the hang of it...although lately macbook air was the lightest...1.6kg nia...& super slim...chioz!!!
Sony vaio on the other hand has the TZ series..very small & compaq & light too...but felt the screen was too small for me in furture to do trading....Mandy bought the TZ series....

Last friday, we had our usual IM meeting & Melvyn joined us...he took out his vaio & i was attracted to it...keke....quite stylish sia....
Sat, we went to Vivo city cos hb wanted to dine at Carnivore...& there was a sony roadshow...kekeke...so we stroll ard & look at "Melvyn" laptop series...price was ard my budget...& wgt at 1.96kg...hb's macbook wgt 2.2kg...screen is perfect size for me...promo was additonal 2gb ram & extended 3yrs warranty & 1 best thing is this is made in Japan & their latest model too...the rest of the vaios are made in China....which 1 wld u trust & pay for leh??
the latest model was even lighter, 1.6kg of cos with a faster processor , but u hv to pay extra $1500 wahaha .....had the impulse to buy immediately....
but held back a little...checked with Melvyn, he said reliability was ok....& agreed it is very stylish indeed....went to compare with the macbook air, some lenovo & acer laptop at challenger etc, i still feel vaio is the most stylist, wgt is ok for me to lugg it ard...screen is comfy to do online trading...hur hur hur...& according to hb they will not dip their price even at the IT fair which is happening in June...prob they will throw in some freebies...& hb oso feel strongly that most impt wld be the warranty period & of cos "made in Japan" lah....but usually IT fair freebies wld be warranty & ram nia...afterall a laptop which last u a 2-3yrs consider quite gd liao....after some calculations, so i decided to buy.....


Tada....

Damage done was $2.5k
Went home & msn Melvyn abt my buy...hur hur hur...he too agreed that this is a gd buy...whahaha...
