I've been thinking along the same lines. I'm really intrigued by the Beats audio featured on certain HP machines. Just this morning I was thinking that their price will probably drop next year. (And, maybe they'll come in real colors, e.g., what is dark "umber"?)
Also, lighter (in weight) has been a big priority since the time I dragged the Dell to Las Vegas and Memphis, experiences which resulted in the purchase of the netbook as soon as they went on the market. BTW I do now own a tablet. I bought one of those fire-sale HP Touchpads, and I think it's nifty although I've barely had any time to play with it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Risner Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2011 12:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] RE: OFF TOPIC Computer repair For $200, I think you should be good. Sounds like there will be some neat stuff coming out next year with the new generation of Ultrabooks (very thin & light laptops similar to the MacBook Air) coming out, and the cost of solid state drives coming down. It is probably worth your while keeping this one running for another year with the $200 repair. -- David Risner Software Engineer MERLOT, California State University On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 8:50 AM, Melissa PollaK <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, they’re doing the repairs for $200.
