But actually, I don’t feel so happy right now. It is not a feeling that I’ve imagine before to have a new notebook. The reason is this acer is not my primary choice. In the beginning, I want to buy Compaq V3660. I’ve done researched I week before and the cost was affordable for me. But, since I have to go to Jakarta for my practical work (or field trip, or practicum profession, or whatever) I can not buy it after that day. So I have to wait until I got back from the Jakarta trip.
And you know what, when I came to the same store that I asked the price 5 days before, that Compaq price rised about 64 $. The reason is, when I came to that store 5 days before, at that time there was a computer fair “Indocomtech 2007” in Jakarta. As you know that in a fair, one price can decreased, so the store treat their price same as the computer fair price. That really sicken me, because I like that Compaq notebook so much. Oh my Goooodddddd, how could this happened to me…. I made a mistake (simple plan’s song..hehe)
After organizing my broken heart (is it the right english for “menata hati yang rusak”??? whatever, as long as you know what it means), I decided to buy my second choice, Acer 4520 that I use to type this blog right now. You can see the picture on top. Because the price is quiet lower than the Compaq, so I can upgrade it. I bought the 120 Gbs hard disk version, and I add the RAM to 2 Gbs.
Do I feel happy right now, of course I am happy. But not 100% happy. The feeling is like when we pass the SPMB (sh*t, what is the english word for this), but for our second choice. The feeling is the same as that way. Glad but dissapointed.
