I have been considering a laptop purchase for some time now. As with all biug ticket items, I do my research up front, then watch the sales, and then make a decision if it is something that I really NEED, and not just a want. What brand, how muchlaptop memory would I need, what acessories do I get with it? It would be convenient to have one, so I could blog and stuff while I was away from home. It would have been GREAT to have when I was spending so much time over at Mom’s and had to keep going to the library to check emails and such. For now, it is still a want, since I already bought my new HDTV, I don’t think I’ll be making a big ticket purchase anytime soon.
