Aspire

On the 6th of February 2009, I made the craziest shopping decision in my entire life. Never before I did such a thing, but due to a burning desire insde me, I put aside all thoughts and spent my cash on it. Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you, the Acer Aspire 8930G.


Why do I say it's crazy? First of all, it costs 1599 Euro. 1Euro=RM 4.70 +-.... Do the math yourself.. Secondly, this thing is a monster. It's so big, it's hardly mobile, even when laptops are meant to be mobile. It won't fit in a normal backpack. I had to buy a bag which is specially meant for laptops these size on order to have it along with me on the road. But then, why did I buy this laptop? Well, it's one of the first laptops (beside Alienware) which is built with Intel Core 2 Quad processor. And, it is the first laptop with Core 2 Quad processor to be commercialized in the laptop market (Alienware could only be bought via its own website, even in Germany it's hard to get hands on it). Here are the specs for my new laptop:

- Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 (2.0GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 6MB L2 cache)

- 512MB NVidia GeForce 9700M GT Turbocache

- 4GB RAM DDR3

- 500GB HDD

- 18.4" Full HD 1080p Acer CineCrystal LCD

- Blu-Ray Disc

- Dolby Home Theater 5.1 Cinematic Surround

-Bluetooth & WLAN

Advantages of this laptop are:

- Damn fast processor.

- Damn good memory (Excellent gaming experience)

- Excellent loudspeakers

- High quality graphic.

- Large screen: Tengok movie syok!

Disadvantages of this laptop are:

- Costs me a damn large amount of money. Now I really have to jimat.. Sob3...

- Too big for a normal backpack. Needs a special bag. There goes money out of the wallet again..

- Heavy.

Overall, I'm satisfied with this laptop. It's not my dream laptop, but it sure operates really well. Someday I'll get the laptop that I always wanted: the Alienware M-17, which operates with Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad... Someday...

Noch mal, Deutschland...

Firstly, I wanna apologize for not giving any updates on my blog. The last blog was problematic, I couldn't upload any pics into the blog. Without pics, it would be boring to read a blog, so that's why I decided to make a new one. Beside, only now I could get an Internet connection at home, after 3 months attempting to get it.

I won't talk much for this post, just wanna continue what was held back in the previous blog. Here are some pictures of me and my friends in Germany..
