Burnt a big big hole in my pocket today......

Spent almost the entire day at the PC Show :D
As planned for the year, I've gotten myself a notebook.

Had been thinking of which notebook to buy for the past 2 days.....
Too many options out there. Had to find one with the best value for $$$$.
In the end, narrowed down to Acer, Apple, Dell and Sony notebooks.
Spent the day walking around booths and thinking hard & compare.


In the end, go for Sony.

Had dropped Apple Macbook from the list because after some checking and thinking, feels that its not really that value for $$$$.
For Acer, while the pricing is the cheapest of the 3, the overall package wise is still not that value for $$$$.
For Dell, pricing still acceptable given the configuration, but then to go for extended warranty is not that attractive :(
Thus go for the Sony Vaio. Costing $1999.

The design looks good. The configuration is still value for $$$$.
The keyboard design look similar to the Macbook :D
And discover that it come bundled with software like Adobe Photoshop Elements :D Extended my warranty to 3 years @ $150.
