Today, I finally bought a Dell laptop 700m, the slimmest laptop you can find in Dell. However, I still felt gloomy. It has been a long story to reach this end.
When Dell first offered a $750 discount for any $1499 plus purchase this early spring, most people I know of rushed to buy this model (and indeed saved money because there was no tax charge then). Since I already had one Dell laptop, I did not pay any attention to it. The problem is that my wife likes small gadgets. She was jealous of her friends for the light laptops shinning in their backpacks. It became clear that my bulgy laptop (more than 8 pounds without a carrying case) was out of fashion. My wife complained to me that she felt embarrassed when she pulled our junk out of the carrying case, especially in front of her colleagues. Time has come to make a change.
