Lappy Talk.
I have been busy lately - the most over-used excuse of any mom with kids (or anybody for that matter).
I hardly have time to lull and enjoy time with G, my Dell laptop. Lately, I have been reading some focus group discussion threads on recommendations for laptops. I have been a pro-Dell user ever since (even if this is my first laptop) primarily because of recommendations. I am very very intrigued with MAC computers, especially the MACBook Air, but as long as Im going to stay home and take care of the kids, that aint gonna happen.
Anyway, like I said, there is a great article over at ShopWiki on how to pick the laptop for you. There are many things to consider when buying one and the article says to choose one feature that is extremely important for you - is it portability (weigh), space (hard drive), clarity of videos (video cards), internet connection (wi-fi ready), etc. Based from experience (I have a Dell Inspiron 1525), Im pretty happy with my customized laptop - I just should have upgraded my laptop battery. Mine just lasts 3 hrs and needs to be plugged in again - that wont work when Im out.
