New computer, im happy.

Okay so one of my friends who likes to spend her money bought a Dell XPS Notebook about 6 or so months ago, and with the launch of the new Windows Vista and intel Core 2 Duo she wanted a new computer with these new yet not needed items. So deciding to sell it she offered it to me for $300.00, I was excited cause i need a new computer and i loved hers. Plus this means a laptop for all my traveling problems, but 300 is a lot to spend for me, not because its hard to get (its one weeks worth of pay). But because i am one of those people who are very uneasy about spending and using money, i rather keep and live a nice life, than spend and live an over the top life.

So Curious i ask and inspect what the speculations are, and she responds, 80GB Hard Drive, Wireless Card, 512 MB Ram plus extra stick, 15″ Wide Screen, Windows XP with Media Center, No scratches or anything like that. I was like wow that sounds great to me, so i say give me a day, so i go home and ask Jako what he thinks and suggest its a great deal if im not a serious gamer, which im not, and just need it for personal and design use. So after a talk with the girlfriend, my mom, and my friend the deal is done. She bought her new computer today, i paid for the old one, and bam its mine.

Ah ok fair enough Nice pickup for $300 in that case, your friend is obviously computer illiterate to sell it for that price :P

What the processor and the gfx card? Not the greatest comp, but a steal for the money.

512x2 is 1gig ram btw...

Oh wow, sounds great.

That XPS is great eh?

I have an XPS and it's amazingly amazing. Enjoy your new notebook because it really is great. I'm a pretty heavy gamer so my XPS is unbelievable for gaming.
