I have some downtime at work and I would love to be able to take care of my school work in that free time, maybe even take an online course. Of course to do this I would need a laptop since I work in the field (that’s outside for you office workers).

I was up for hours researching laptops online. I had also read a few reviews in magazines at Barnes & Noble the same day.

I decided on a Dell XPS, which has gotten good reviews. I’m not normally a Dell guy. In fact, I really don’t like the fact that they outsource their tech support overseas. However, since I consider myself a computer guru, I hopefully won’t need to talk to them.

It’s being built right now and will be shipped to me on 10/13.

Sweet!
