more on my laptop

first of all, thanks inkspill for, in a way, facilitating the purchase of this laptop. if it weren’t for u, i’d probably have held out a lot longer before buying this super-cool machine.
it’s a dell studio 14, and i must say, the post-purchase satisfaction is tremendous! not only is it sleek and stylish, it’s fast, intelligent and in many tiny ways just a delight to work with. we didn’t go far out of the box in terms of configuration, which was pretty great to begin with. it does become pricey if you throw in MS office and antivirus subscriptions, but still nowhere as expensive as apple, which was the only other serious contender. i was v keen on apple for a long time, but two factors held me back from taking the plunge: 1. price, and 2. compatibility issues with various services. it might be a super-intelligent machine to work with, but until it can satisfy me on both these issues, i ain’t jumpin’ into the deep end. and that’s all i’m gonna say about that.
