I bought a laptop last year thinking that I’d only use it while traveling. I therefore went with a cheaper model because I figured I wouldn’t use it enough to justify spending a lot of money on it. But then I went and got a wireless LAN card and love the convenience so much that I’m on my laptop more often than my desktop. I like being able to take the computer out on the porch when the weather’s nice and being able to work in bed when I want to.
Now, however, I’m faced with a different problem: lagging performance due to a serious lack of RAM. Fortunately, it’s pretty easy (and affordable) to expand computer memory these days. I’m already looking at a few different options, and hope to be able to buy something after my tax refund comes in. After that, I’ll probably start doing all my work on the laptop and might even get rid of my desktop altogether so I can have more room in my office.
