I've Got A New Friend!

Khalis came home yesterday and gave me this. (Malas nk ambik gamba)



We had been eyeing this particular model for quite some time now but were reluctant to make the purchase as we didnt like the processor. Last time, it was powered by AMD Athlon Neo single core

When he discovered that its now using AMD Athlon Neo X2, he bought it right away (This model arrived and was put on display only the day before!)

I'd always wanted a new laptop, but not just any laptop. I wanted a lighweight laptop but not too small and underpowered like the 11-10-inch netbook, while adequately equipped 13-inch and above would be too big for me. Khalis had been endorsing me other models, but I already had my heart set on this HP. I believed that they would upgrade the model as it didn't make any sense to me. It was really neither here nor there. You cant sell it as a Netbook, it's RM1000 extra compared to other Netbooks in the market. I believed that its other specs are acceptable but to run those on a single core is rather ambitious hence no serious user would buy it.

So we waited and waited and waited until they came out with this one. And Khalis got it for me!
So now we have 3 laptops and 2 desktops in the house. We always alternate between the 2 desktops to watch muvies and dramas and I now use my new one, so the other two laptops mmg kene abandon lah..
