When I went shopping for my current laptop, I admit that I did not actually do a lot of looking around. I went to one place, found one that was in my price range and had decent specs and purchased it. I did however have a few things I wanted. While I think netbooks are cool, I decided against one, as they're small. Some companies and stores actually call them "mini" laptops or "minis." The regular laptops are small enough without having to have an even smaller one! LOL

So I got the laptop I've got now. I think it works well for me, but a friend of mine is now looking at the netbooks and planning purchasing one, which of course, makes me want to check them out again. However, I'll probably do my shopping online and see what I can dig up, as I'll actually need to save up to get another computer. But I'm trying to decide if I want or need another computer. I have 2 desktops and the laptop as it is. :)

I'm writing this on something other than my usual computer. I'm writing this on a laptop. Unfortunately it's not mine. :( But it is a laptop. Maybe if I use my best friend's laptop (go here for her blog, but be warned it's not updated often) enough, I'll get used to the keyboard, so when I get my own, I won't have as much problem. My biggest thing is I'm used to the number pad on the right hand side of the screen. When I go to type in numbers, I almost always use the number pad to type them. I even do it at work. I'm really good with the number pad. :) I just wish the laptop had one!

Now that I've started training for tech support, I've been thinking about getting a laptop. Just for the heck of it. What I've been looking at so far are some really cool Mac Laptops. We learned about the Mac the other day in class and believe me when I say, if you're a tech support professional, the Mac is MUCH easier to troubleshoot if it's not working. So I'd really like to get a Mac.

A friend of mine was saying that she really doesn't like Apple Laptops at all. She'd rather have a good Windows system. I don't know about that. I mean, really, would you rather have to go through 8 troubleshooting steps with tech support or 3? I'd prefer 3 myself. Honestly. I really hate sitting on the phone with tech support when I have to call them about my internet. I'd much rather deal with 3 easy steps and boom, you're fixed. :)

Another thing I'd prefer about a Mac Book or Mac Book Pro is that I rarely ever hear about a Mac crashing. I hear it all the time about Windows and I really don't want to have to deal with that. It would make it so much easier to not have to worry about losing all my info, website files, etc. Besides, I have a iPod and that's an Apple product. Might as well get an Apple computer to go with it, what say? :)
