Well, my laptop (which is Keersten’s old laptop) is on its way out. Due to hardware problems, it will periodically freeze up or spontaneously reboot. We’ve had it for about 6 years and it’s been pretty good for us (other than I never like how big it was.)
For the last few weeks, I’ve been using Keersten’s MacBook so I could actually get some work done when I wasn’t in the office. It has been a little frustrating for her to not have it available to her 24/7.
Anyway, for the last week, I’ve been shopping around to find a good laptop deal. I hate shopping to begin with and really hate the process I go through when looking to make a semi-major purchase. I’ll start with a low priced model (~$600) and as I’m configuring it justify those $60 options and before you know it I’m looking at a $1800 laptop. I’ll get settled on one manufacturer and end up switching to another. I’m a little tired of hopping around from Lenovo to Dell to Mac to HP to ….
I just want something small that I can run Linux on and isn’t too expensive. Is that too much to ask? Ok, I’m done complaining now. I’ll definitely post here when I finally decide which one to get.
