Coach Z...? No? Alright then...Yeah, I bought a new laptop! (woo!)
I have wanted one for quite some time now... After having one for so long for school it was hard going without (I had to give my old one back to the college when my first year was done...), as I was used to the amenities having one offered. But it was really just a need/want situation... so I continued on with just my desktop.
I had been using my sisters a lot around the house, and I began to start wanting one again. So I went down to Future Shop and had a look at some of them, and also was hunting around on the internet, but again decided against it...
Until I got a raise! (Woo for that as well. I'm pretty stoked about it... was going to blog about it... but thought a side note in a post like this one would do just as good... )
I decided that as a gift to myself I would go ahead and shell out for a new laptop. And that is exactly what I did...
I got a Toshiba Satellite A300 15.4'' laptop.
I am very impressed with it so far. Not much to say other than that... I've only been using it for a day, and right now I'm just trying to adjust to using a new OS. Not too sure about this Windows Vista business...

Toshiba.
Satellite glow.
Multimedia buttons.
Touch pad.I also picked up a wireless mouse as well, because I hate using laptop touch pads...
I got the Logitech VX Nano.
I picked this mouse for a few reason. 1) It was Logitech. ALL of my computer devices are Logitech, and I love them. They also stand behind everything they make. Highly recommended... 2) It was small, sleek and comfortable, but the real selling point was the USB receiver. It's so tiny! Look at that thing! I can leave it in and forget about it and not have to remove it when I put it in my laptop bag. I think it's awesome.

Tiny ass USB receiver.
Receiver vs. a dimeEDIT: I have been informed that the imagine above is in fact a nickel, and not a dime...

Thats a sweet ass unit. I wanna sell my dang Dell just to pick that one up. The HDD capacity is reason enough alone to get that thing. Nice buy. (I mean bum)
PS That there is a nickel if I ever saw it.
HAHA. Touche mon frere...
And thanks, I am enjoying it.
