Monkey thinking - what laptop i should buy.

I have to admit that I'm a computer addict. I could spent 12-18 hours a day in front of my computer and try to get access to internet anytime possible. I could use my wife PC at home, however, when the school start and i usually stay at school for 6-7 hours everyday, a laptop became necessary. It's time to searching for a new one.

As a customer, i have a preferred list of brands that i want to buy from. Sorry to say that HP, Compaq, Toshiba and Acer are never in that list. Bias? yes, but i just don't like them due to some really bad experiences in the past. Therefore the list is left with Apple, Sony, Dell and Lenovo. I don't care much about the i5, i7 or other super power CPUs, GPUs, RAMs, HDDs out there because i prefer to use PC whenever i'm home due to big screen and much more comfortable. No laptops could come close to it. Another more problem is i'm also super lazy, even the thought of carry a 3kg laptop around could make me sick. 

Why blog?

Yes, i knew that not everyone still blogging. People are talking about Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Buzz, etc now. In fact, i love all of them, you could say that i'm an fan of almost every service above. But blogging still has it own realm, similar to people still writing their diary with pen and paper. 


To be honest, i used to think that blogging and reading blogs is wasted of time. In some aspects, it is true because people spent too much time, especially office time to reading personal blogs. However, in one way or another, blog is a good way to express yourself more deep and  formal than Twitter or Facebook.
