*Toshibaa..
remember the * in my chocolate mice blog? well this blog is about it :)
i bought a new laptop!! hehehe thanx to daddy! my old laptop u know the fat and bulky one i always carry to uni.. it kinda konked out on me.. sumtimes the keyboard can't work, can't turn the comp on etc.. so decided needed a new laptop because if repair, quite pointless (this what we all say right? haha) because it is about 5 years old already...
i'll tell u a weird secret... when was in process of confirming the new laptop, the dear old laptop can suddenly work! haha.. ssshhhhh....
okok.. so off with the suspense, me bought a Toshiba M500 1024E! hehe... its 12", freaking light - 1.86kg, has fingerprint security, 1GB RAM, 100 GB HDD, HDD protector (so if u drop laptop, data safe), titanium silver and very cute.. hahah oh right! it has the latest processor - core2duo! and this laptop itself is brand new, some shops dun even have it yet (i checked!) and some websites dun even have the price! hehehe.. those that have the price, it starts from $2799!(exhange rate - 2.27) and in msia, mice friend bought something like this spec for RM5999. and guess how much i had to pay for it (excluding gst and upgrade).. only.... *drum roll... $1999! hehehe... full and final price... *drum roll 2... $2178.95!.. hehe.. okok i know dad doesnt like the drum roll coz its burning his pocket.. but hey.. good deal hah! hehehehe...
know why?.. because.. dealing straight with toshiba! hehehe.. i was already pretty set on buying another toshiba laptop which was $1900 from simlim(its like our low yat).. but sumhow on instinct, i felt like calling toshiba just to be kiasu.. to see if they had a better offer... i know its not logical but jz felt 'moved' to do that.. and i did... so they transferred me to this lady (who i assumed is a sales person) and i asked her for that model etc.. then she talked to her boss etc, came up with the latest laptop only with and addition of $100. the original laptop i wanted does not have the latest processor, XP Pro, and is already 'old' in comp terms.. it was last year's product.. so damn freaking good deal lo... oh and it only has 1 year international warranty, whereas this latest one has 3 years international warranty!
SO i agreed to the arrangement between toshiba and myself.. and when i went to buy, guess who the lady really was? senior accountant of toshiba leh! imagine my shock! all along i tot i was dealing with a salesperson.. and nobody tell her who i am ok! hahaha... then suddenly it also made sense as to why she could do what she did to give me such a deal... bwahahaha.. blindedness.... anyway she was nice lah.. but not overly friendly, and being with accountants day and night, she's the first one that i see sooo heavily made up.. and its quite pretty :)
oh well.. ok so brought the laptop back lah.. but can't bring to office yet because i got no microsoft office.. shall be lending from a colleague tmr..then hopefully can start bonding with my toshy :)
thanx for the comp dad!
my dear old compaq, you will still serve me best when it comes to movies.. worry not as i shall still keep you..hehe

So many on that page, not sure which one's yours. Technology and i aren't that great friends.
Er... i dunno what am i getting. Let my father handle it. He'll get me a standard one with a standard price. I'm just happy that the battery lasts from 3 to 8 hours!! Happy that 3 hours is the min! Hehehe. How long does ur battery last??
oh girl.. u need to copy the full line of the address lah! including the numbers... then u will get to the exact page.. either that or u can search - Toshiba M00 - 1024E.
Yeah my battery supposedly last 5hours.. still testing.. now i treat it like handphone so that the batt dun die so fast.. i suspect it will not last full 5 hours tho.. but 3 or more lo..
