Search for the Great Laptop

It has literally been almost three years since my trusty desktop completely crapped out. It got me through college and about twelve different moves. The moment the computer stopped working I think I went into an instant depression seeing as how my growing music collection (at that point, about 12 gigs), all my writing and college papers and irreplaceable pictures were stored on it. It was like four years of my life were just erased.

But alas! Thanks to the nerds at Best Buy, they pulled all that good stuff off the hard drive. They did so while also taking lots of my money, which would have normally bothered me but at that point was happy to give them just to have my stuff back.

Not that I want to buy a computer from Best Buy, I did want to go there to look at and feel the different laptops that I could one day call my own. I liked the look and feel of the Dells, but they had a pretty weak battery life and the power/memory could have been better. Then there was the ASUS, which made up for the brains of the Dell, but it was pretty heavy. The Macs definitely have a special, alluring glow about them sitting all by themselves over in the corner. I have no problem with them. I am sure they are great computers and would gladly become a self-proclaimed trendy hipster...if only I could actually afford one. So top three laptop requirements: price, power, weight.

Needless to say, I did not get a computer. BUT HB sure did find one that suited him well.
