Actually wanted to post this up earlier, but was caught up with too many things...
Anyway, this is the latest friend that I got about 1 month back. The brand is relatively unheard of in here, but it's the No.1 Brand in Japan (or so it claims). I'm not here to try to sell or advertise for the brand, so I'm not going to write much about it. You can visit the link to find out more.
The Choice
In the end, I decided that my priority is portability and battery life over all else. I figured that no matter how good the specs of a laptop is, it's never going to beat a desktop. And nothing can beat gaming on my 22' Widescreen anyway... Hee...
Most importantly, since I'm not staying in the hostel, I will not be playing any games besides maybe Viwawa on the laptop, so there's no point spending extra cash to buff up gaming specs... Better to save up the money.
And this machine fits the requirement perfectly, and is unmatched for its specs/price ratio. It's one of the lightest of its kind, and the battery life is awesome (6 hours easily). Loads of free gifts to top it off.
The Service
I was really swayed by the salesperson though. Probably one of the most eloquent and well-spoken promoter I've seen. One that really knows how to sell a product.
For IT products, many sale persons like to take advantage of the consumer ignorance and BS a lot of crap. When I detect someone is trying to BS me, I'll be super turned off immediately... and that's usually what I get when I visit SLS.
I think the most important thing is to be truthful and sincere... don't try to BS someone just because he doesn't know much about a product... It's totally unethical...
Using It
So far I'm very happy with it. Usually I'll bring it to school if I have a long break in between classes.
It's more of a "support" system to complement my desktop though, as I still find working on a super wide screen much more efficient. At least now I don't have to keep fighting with my brothers for use over the computer, and I can do my work without lot of disruption.
Window Vista
This is actually the first time I come into contact with Window Vista. I wanted to write more on my experience with it, but... there isn't really much to write. What I can say that it's very annoying... The following paragraph taken from an online article sums up the whole experience.
"One of the most annoying things about Microsoft Windows Vista is User Account Control and all the warnings it pops up to ask if you just did something you really wanted to do. Like, either (a) it wasn't you who pressed the Enter key, but the ghost of your grandfather standing at your shoulder, or (b) you really are too stupid to be trusted to know you want to install a program or open an attachment."
