I Love You Dell! I Love You Long Time!
I'm getting a new computer! I'm getting a new computer! I'm getting a new computer!
You can't tell because this is typed but I'm totally singing that right now. Though my glee and enthusiasm should be blindingly obvious. It's so overdue. My lappytop has been falling apart for some time. I mean the case is wrecked and worn. The volume buttons don't work. The battery is new but the jack where the cord plugs in is shot so it doesn't hold a charge. I have to have it plugged in all the time. Plus, the screen randomly goes dark. I think it's the motherboard. It still works hooked up to an external monitor (which I'm using right now) but the cord has to be tilted up or everything on the screen is pink.
So I've been saving for months, squirelling away what little money I had left after bills and keeping an eye out for really good laptop deals. I thought I had it when Walmart had a back to school deal for a laptop, printer, thumb drive, and case for 3-something but by the time I had the money the price had gone up to $400. Then Sallie Mae threw me a curve ball and I had to pay $300 nearly wiping out my computer funds.
Well, this was the paycheck that I finally had the money again to start looking and Dell came to my rescue. The refurbished Inspiron M501R in peacock blue was originally 4-something but they also had a coupon for 25% off an inspiron and BAM! I got a laptop with a webcam, 8X DVD +/- RW Drive, 3 GB DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz (2 DIMMs), 64BIT Operating System, 320 GB SATA Hard Drive (5400 RPM), Microsoft Works 9.0, the same size screen as my old laptop, 6 Cell Primary Battery, AND Windows 7 for only $299! I feel like I won the lottery! Not only will I be getting my new computer Monday or Tuesday of next week with my free shipping but I paid almost $200 less then what I saved.
I am a very happy Nikki right now.
