technology

recently i've been toying with the idea of getting a smaller laptop, for a couple of reasons. the first being that i'm becoming rather annoyed at how noisy the fujitsu's fan is and second, it's becoming real troublesome to lug it around when i need to zip in and out of the office (which is becoming quite often). 

that said, i'm not sure how far i'll explore the idea although it is very attractive. a smaller and very much lighter lappy would save me from prematurely spoiling my body from the stuff that i carry (plus hubby2be would highly approve of it as well). the more affordable price of 'cute' lappies are definitely a plus, though i'd need to get a screen for my work desk so i wouldn't develop back aches from peering at the teeny screen in the office. ok, the screen's not so teeny. a colleague's hp lappy actually has quite a wide screen and enough finger space on its keyboard for comfortable and efficient typing. 

at the same time, i was marvelling at how in the span of 5 years (or even less), lappies have shrunk in size, modems, RAM and disk space have exceeded capacities over the space of months and the prices are falling faster than the release of the next generation of macbook. (haha.)

so while this ardent pc user is still contemplating a possible new 'toy' (technically, it's my work tool), maybe you might have a say if it's worth the trade (and the ergonomics). it definitely doesn't help that overtime, i develop an emotional attachment to my lappy. however much i complain about it.
