Does a Patzer need this notebook?

I saw this notebook during last weekend’s PC Fair.

If you remember the notebook I was interested in was a budget Compaq notebook at RM2000.

This notebook however is 50% more expensive at around RM 3,000 (including delivery charges) but it’s feature is definitely great as a desktop replacement for me. That means if I ever get this notebook, I’ll probably sell off my home desktop and use only this notebook as my one and only computer.

I’m now sold on Papyn Chase’s compelling reasons to why a Patzer really need a notebook.

The previous budget Compaq notebook remains on my “need” list and this one (below) goes in to my “dream” list of things to get.

It’s the Dell 6400 (hmmm ‘64′ is easy to remember)
