Back and Forth, Back and Forth
I'm thinking about replacing my notebook computer. Right now, I've got a Sony Vaio ultraportable that weighs less than 3 pounds. I think I bought it about 3-1/2 years ago. I bought it in a hurry because my husband had smashed the screen on the notebook that I had before I got the Sony. I had left it on the floor of my car behind the driver's seat. My husband, who rarely drives my car, decided to drive it the next day, and when he moved the seat back he heard an unusual crunching sound -- the sound of my computer screen being smashed to bits. So I ran out to Best Buy and bought the Sony. It's a nice machine, but now it's old and slow and it pains me to use it.
So for the past few days I've been checking out new notebooks, pretty much going by the reviews in PC Magazine. I want another ultraportable, preferably about the same weight as my Sony. I've narrowed my choices down to a Dell, a Sony and a Toshiba. And that's about as far as I've been able to go because I am plagued by indecision. Do I go for the one that weighs the least? Or the one that has the bigger screen? Or the one with the better keyboard? What about the optical drives and the bluetooth and the docking stations -- what do I need or want? I just keep going back and forth, back and forth among the three models. Why can't someone just combine the best features of each of these computers and put them in one machine so that I can make a decision and be done with it?
Oh, but that would be too easy.
