Shiny and New

And not even mine. Ryan just bought a new laptop (a Compaq) from BestBuy the other day. I’m a little jealous because I have had my computer for some time and I wouldn’t mind a new system but I certainly do not need one. Everything that comes with a laptop these days is just so more advanced than my little old desktop. With built in blue tooth, WiFi, mics and cams, DVD drives (I don’t even have a functioning CD-R/RW!) and who knows what else, it seems like he’ll be set for a while with this laptop (if he takes good care of it). The only thing I might add is an actual pair of cheap computer speakers because laptop speakers don’t tend to have the best quality.

But, hopefully, sometime in the next year I can add a laptop to my collection as well. I really want something in red (Dell, Vaio and Gateway all make ‘em in red) and will probably go for a refurbish model just to save some money. For now, I can just be jealous.
