I saw a really good bargain the other day at Mid Valley. But I was rather reluctant to fork out that much for a premium netbook while compaq laptops cost about only half as much.
Then again, I don't really need another laptop. My current 15 incher is just right on my lap, but lugging around such a big hardware can be tedious when it comes to traveling. And because my laptop is suffering from multiple hardware failures, dead DVD drive, failing hard drive, battery which only last 1 hour, max, I'm very tempted to put down my laptop. Not to kill it though, but rather make it a desktop replacement and get a netbook for traveling needs. Not to mention that the netbook is advertised to last 5 hours on a single charge. That's 2 extra hours compared to my laptop when the battery is still brand new.

And, the netbook is made from aluminum, you've probably guessed what it is from the poorly masked picture.

To buy or not to buy, that is the question.
