Intel i3 HP Notebook - newly added member in my working table

I know this is not too much but last week we finally got another HP notebook from newly opened 3C Store branch near our place. This was not in our plan but fortunately we got one!

Ask: Do we need it since we already have two laptops and 1 desktop here? My answer is yes. All I know is that we must get this one that time, not on the following day or not in another day. Would you believe that we got this 14" Intel Core i3 with Windows 7 at 50% off? They were having a huge sale for their grand opening and the sale was only until that day. Without thinking too much, we purchased the notebook and let them convert to English. I feel shy to mention the actual price but we got it for less than Php20K, I guess.

So how does my table accommodate now this new laptop? In my post here, you can see my table before without the HP notebook. And now, here it is another member in my working table:

It's just good thing that I have a large working table (because I don't want a small space to work on!).

For now I haven't explore this notebook yet for I have been so busy lately. But I am using it already in browsing the net particularly for checking my personal mails. I will make a review on this model some other time because for now I can't say much more aside from I absolutely love it...lol!

So, just congratulate me for having another tool for my blogging and designing career...

My Poor Laptop

I have been using my Acer laptop for almost three years now without problems and complain about its hardware or any installed software except for being too small for me to see clearly all the designs I am making. My laptop is Acer Aspire 2920z with 12.1" monitor screen, really small isn't it? I started to desire on a much bigger monitor size two years ago when I started my digital scrapbooking. Actually, we have desktop at home and two laptops, one for me and one for my husband. I love the 15" HP notebook of my husband but I cannot use it because he is using it in the office most of the time. While the desktop, he is the one who uses it at night so I don't have choice but to use my laptop.

I told my husband I want to buy a new desktop for myself, the one with a much bigger monitor than my notebook. But I came to have a second thought because that would be impractical on my part to buy a new one if my laptop is still working and functioning properly. Besides, I bought this notebook in a costly price so I couldn't take this thing away that easy. I bought this for NT30,000 (Php42,000) three years ago. So here is the idea that both my husband and I agreed. Instead of buying a whole new unit, we decided to buy a new LCD monitor for our desktop and the old LCD monitor will be mine and will connect to my laptop to become the main monitor instead. Pretty cool, actually. I like this idea.

So this is now my working table having my 19" LCD monitor together with my Lexmark Printer/Scanner.


For two weeks now, I am enjoying my designing at night unlike before when I am using my laptop. And by the way, I connect also a separate keyboard and mouse, so without looking to my poor laptop I can imagine that I am having a CPU tower under my table. The cables that are now being connected to my laptop just to setup this idea.: the charger, the VGA cable, mouse and keyboard USB; and on the right side, the network cable and laptop fan or my external drive.

By the way, the one we have bought is the 24" Vizio LCD TV monitor. So, two birds at one shot, we have a new LCD computer monitor, at the same time we have a TV just enough to watch for a better screen size....cool!
