i wanted to impulsively by the most expensive version of this for 700$~ish...which would give me 4gigs of ram, a nvidia video card instead of an integrated one, and a 320gb HD, and a BIT faster processor.
but i'm only using it for school, boredom, youtube, and yeah nothing much. i'm not much of a gamer anyway.

on the lenovo site, it's listed as 599$ with a back to school coupon to take 50$ off making it 549$, but on the shareholders site, the same laptop is 509$ o_O and there was a coupon for another 5% off? or was it 4%...but yeah it dropped the price all the way to 483$ and free shipping...+ 0.0975% southern california tax and a 8$ recycling fee. my total came out to be 538$. not bad..not bad at all.

the only bad reviews i've read about it, is that it gets kinda warm and not so good with graphics..but yeah...no biggie.





on another note~

i always seem to get the bad class for silent reading..and i was so bored at work today and my dam headphone jack converter for my phone to connect to standard sized headphones is like worn out or something..*sigh so i had no music to listen to...i felt like throwing my phone against the wall...i need a new mp3 player as well...i'll buy an ipod touch soon...next paycheck..next paycheck..
