Got my laptop today, my cousin helped buy it a few days ago. waiting super long to transfer my things from the computer to the laptop... haha can detect lots of wireless networks but i'm quite an idiot at trying to use the internet by tapping on these, so just have to blog on my currently lagging compurter. i'm using winRAR, cos the thumb drive is not big enough to fit my files, and it's slowing the whole computer down!

at first we wanted to get the IBM ThinkPad X31 since it's small, light and effective enough but it was not in stock so have to wait dunno how long. my cousin decided the Toshiba Tecra M3-P2301 is good too, actually it's better... 512MB compared to 256 for the IBM. so don't have to pay more to make it 512. although it's heavier and bigger. but cos my dad kept telling him that the earlier we can get it the better lol. i just don't like the backpack that came with it, i'd have prefered a sling bag instead...
