Mar. 10th, 2012 03:53 pmWent to the mall with Mom today, she'd had her eye on a new outfit at The Bay. Waited for her to try things on and when we were done, i wanted to go th The Source to see if they had any netbooks. They only had one left, it was still in the back in a box. Fail. Seeya.
Walked across the hallway to the Sony Store. Kaching$$$$$ But i wanted to look anyway. They did have a small 11.1" screen one that was an older model, marked down a little. Having said that it was still $449 plus taxes without any extended waranty. I did like it but it didn't really have the battery life i preferred and it was a tad bigger than i wanted and a bit more than i wanted to pay. But it was nice... And obviously Sony has a good reputation but still... I didn't fall for the pitch even when he grinned and asked me what colour i wanted :) I said i still wanted to look around a bit more before i decided and walked away. I have Mom's car overnight so i'm going to hit a couple of the tech stores in Dartmouth Crossing tomorrow, maybe Costco as well and maybe even Wally World because i also need to get a new slow cooker and i can get that there. I got a few groceries and there was a tech store in that shopping centre. I went in and they had a couple of netbook candidates in the size and price range i wanted but the guy selling them just weirded me out.
It's easy to jump and buy the first one you see but i don't want to do that. I don't necessarily want the cheapest thing i can find but i don't want to spend a lot for something that isn't replacing my desktop or going to get a huge amount of use.
