Recently I wrote about my ancient, overheating laptop. I was unsure about whether I should buy a full-sized, regular yet still portable laptop to replace my current 7-pounder, or whether I should just buy a netbook for now since it addresses several of my computing needs for a smaller price. As it turns out, my sister had an old laptop that quit working correctly. She never got it fixed, but I am going to take it to a local place to get an estimate. If I can get it fixed for a decent price, I may have a new-to-me laptop! It won’t be very portable (it has a 17″ widescreen!) but it will replace my 5.5 year old model. Depending on how much it will cost to fix it, I may have enough money to buy a netbook! On Monday, I will try to get an estimate. Further updates to come!
