New laptop

I have a new computer. A laptop. My old one kept crashing, so I decided to invest in this. When it came time to choose a model, it was an easy decision. A very good friend of mine recently bought an ASUS PRO31F, and I was very impressed, so decided to buy the exact same one.

I made the decision to buy it (actually salary sacrifice it through work) at about 2.30pm Tuesday afternoon, and by 4.30pm, I was standing in JB Hi-Fi at Marion, talking to the sales guy (yes, Tuesday was a work day, that's how impulsive I am, I left work early to buy it).

I was particularly pleased that they threw in a wireless router - no longer will I be chained to my freezing cold study, I'll now be able to blog away and surf the interweb in the warmth and comfort of my own bed. I'm looking forward to blogging about my dreams - the next time I'm attacked by giant turkeys as I sleep, I'll have an outlet to discuss how it made me feel. And presumably I'll save all kinds of money on psychiatrist's bills.

I'm sure you're curious about the many features my new laptop has, so here goes - 120 gigabyte hard drive . . . 1 gig of RAM . . . CD and DVD burner . . . 1.3 megapixel webcam . . . colour screen . . . keyboard. It's got it all. Actually the screen is great - I moved over all of my photos, and realised I'm not the terrible photographer I thought I was, it was (at least partially) my computer screen that was making everything seem dark and hazy. Now my pics are bright, bursting with colour and life, I think it's possible I have real talent in this area.
