New toy for the New Year!

I got myself a new toy last Saturday! Yey, after looking for a long time, I finally got a new notebook pc. I have been thinking about it for so long and looking at all the displays in the glass windows of computer shops! Finally, finally..I got one at a reasonable price with all the specifications I want. Hmm not really all, but it’s enough for my needs. I got a Neo Empriva 531NL. I originally wanted a Neo Empriva 540NX2 but the first one almost has the same specs aside from the firewire port and the Duo Core 2 processor. I can make do without those things. A 1.66 GHz duo core is enough for my graphic needs. The portable I got didn’t have an OS preinstalled as well. That’s alright though as I have an XP disc at home. That saved me 20grand at least. =)
Thinking about it, I got it in haste! I know I’ve been drooling over notebooks for a couple of months now! The only thing stopping me is the money. Hehe! I wasn’t really planning on buying one that day. But with the offer they have..who couldn’t resist? And If I got more money, I would have gotten a black macbook pro. They say that the graphics on that mac is awesome. Yeah, I’ve tried it in the apple shop and it’s really cool!
So that day, after having lunch with a friend I asked him to come with me to look at the notebooks in SM City Cyberzone. The first shop we went into has the notebook I want, and after 5 minutes of the guy sales talking me and a few more minutes processing my card, I got out with a brand new toy! Haha! Im such a gadget freak =)
Anyways, we watched Shake, Rattle and Roll afterwards. It was supposed to be a horror film but we just laughed all the way up till the end. I don’t know how they can make movies like that and include it in a film fest, It was really hilarious! Not because it’s a comedy but because the movie doesn’t really make sense and we’re not sure if they really thought hard of the script. It was still a funny experience though.
So I got home, unwrapped my toy and installed the OS and other softwares in it. My mom called me and asked me to bring bagoong to my uncle’s house (family’s all there for a party) and I brought it with me and continued installing there. Such a geek! Lol
Then I spent New Year’s Eve awake all night doing the posters in photoshop for work. That was my excuse for buying the notebook. Haha, nobody bought that idea though as we got a fully functional and not over a year old pc I assembled at home.
Well anyways, Im now at our apartment, just finished watching Desperate Housewives in my notebook and now Im browsing the web using my 3g phone as my modem. It’s not as fast as the dsl at home but for now it should suffice. It’s 460kbps, so at least it’s 5x faster than dial up. Im really lovin this! Gotta love technology.
