Buy or No Buy ?

Should I buy a laptop?

I’d been asking myself this question all day long and I even ask some of my colleagues. But there is no certain answer from them. HELP !!
It all start when I saw the advertisement by Dell, promotion for Dell Inspiron 510M for the price of RM 3289.00 (inclusive delivery charge). Damn u dell …

The specification and price offer was very tempting… = (

Intel® Centrino™ Mobile Technology with Intel® Pentium® M Processor 725A (1.6 GHz, 2MB Cache, 400 MHz FSB)
512MB DDR RAM
60GB Ultra ATA Hard Disk
Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Combination Drive

All my dear fellow friends, please give me your opinion whether I should go for that laptop. I can’t make any decision. It’s too tempting

Reason why I should get a laptop now

The promotion really worth it. (my opinion)

I want to use it to surf net in my living room.

I want to bring home my office work and do at home. (hope my boss see this)

I can use it to do my outsource project and demo. (hope my boss don’t see this)

I can bring it back to Sarawak during Chinese New Year to surf net at home.

Coz I been dreaming to have my own laptop since 5 years ago !!!

Reason why I shouldn’t get a laptop now

I was that close to clear all my credit card balances.

I should get a Yamaha Home Theater (RM 2500) and with the balance, I can still upgrade my TV.

I already have a powerful PC at home, if I buy a laptop, the PC will be junk for sure

The promotion will be back again during Christmas..i already wait for 5 year, why don’t wait for another few month.

Ahh…buy or no buy ?

don't listen to mooncake/RB advice. if u want u make your own decision but one thing is right though "more tempting promotion is yet to come" . that's true in the computer world.

IMHO, if it's back in Christmas then the best investment is clear your debts and workout on where you should be putting your money effectively. As you said, if you got a laptop, it might help inspire you to bring work home though I'd rather suggest leaving work where it should be. :)

Cheers.
