i had planned to buy a new mobile phone but decided to shift my priority to a new computer.

6 years ago i bought a notebook with these:
pentium iii processor 1ghz
256mb sdram
30gb hdd
13.3″ xga tft colour display
integrated vga with 3d graphics accelerator and mpeg-2 support
cd r/rw drive

tomorrow, i’m going to buy the latest model of the same series from the same brand with these:
core 2 duo processor t9400
2gb ddr3 1066 sdram (with free upgrade to 4gb ram)
250gb sata hdd (with free upgrade to 320 hdd)
14.1″ wxga tft colour display
intel graphics media accelerator x4500 with up to 384mb shared memory
dual layer super multi dvd+-rw/cd-rw drive

all these and a whole lot more for about $1k cheaper than what i paid 6 years ago. i’m just so excited!
