The Search for a Perfect Companion

You know how it feels when you're struggling whether to cheat on your girlfriend/boyfriend or not, right?

Well, this is almost just like how I'm feeling right now.

Almost indicates that same feeling, different situation.

I've had my eyes on Asus Eee PC netbook for weeks despite its ugly logo, I want it so badly.

Actually, I first had my eyes on Acer Aspire One netbook as I thought Acer was more trustful and "Eee PC" isn't properly capped so it makes me a little reluctant, plus, the ugly logo is a big no-no at first.

But then I did some research and found out Eee is so much better than Acer, therefore I switch my interest. Ok, I cheated on Acer without having a relationship, I only liked it for no more than an hour or two so I guess I wasn't really cheating.

This Asus EEE PC (I will cap it properly from now on), 1000HE is like a treat to the eye (the improper cap and ugly logo aren't treating my other eye too well) and more, not only it got very good reviews from others, it also lasts like 9.5 hours!

Who doesn't like a man that lasts more than he's supposed to? Same thing goes with laptops.

So ok, I was almost certain it's the netbook I am going to get and I've already made plan to get it the upcoming Friday, which was like 5/6 days later, it's already a big torture, believe me, I barely wait for something for more than 3 days.

The only con of EEE 1000HE is its weight. 1.45kg, like an elephant compared to other netbooks. That's ok, I like it enough to tolerate that. You know, it's normal to have a little flaw somewhere.

So I've been telling myself and Alberto that the weight is nothing, 350g is more or less like another mobile, but he kept telling me to look more. Yeah right, when I have my eyes on something, VERY difficult for me to change my mind.

Unless along came another EEE PC...

I did some research to satisfy Alberto as he claimed it's important for the 350g since I never travel light, he's kinda right but I really don't feel like switching, I'm stubborn, extremely.

First of all, I checked 1002HA which is finished with an alloy casing. I have a thing for alloy. It's lighter and more stylish but the thing is, it doesn't get as good reviews as 1000HE.

But then by chance, I found Asus EEE PC 1008HA Seashell...

It's like when you're stuck with someone you're really happy with though he's a bit overweight, another guy who's so bloody-damn-extremely fit, good-looking, sexy and stylish comes your way, he's so bloody hot you cannot resist him..

Oh yeah, goodbye EEE 1000HE, it's very nice knowing ya!

The look of EEE Seashell is so bloody perfect I don't think I can open my eyes for any other netbooks. I did not really check out the reviews, you know, it's so bloody good-looking I think I can tolerate ANY flaws it has.

One problem though, it has not hit the stores yet. The fastest I can get is in Singapore, about 3 weeks later, with a slightly higher price.

I never like something I cannot get for more than 2 weeks, but for it, I am willing to wait but not too much, of course!

Though Alberto suggested Dell Mini 10, I did some research again, it's graphic isn't too outstanding so it's a good reason not to get it.

Like I always say, it's very difficult for me to switch interests when I have my eyes on something.

Unless along came another HP Mini 1109TU netbook..

Just when you thought your hottest netbook in the world cannot get any hotter and there's no competitors, there's always somebody knocking on your door, another opportunity from somebody or something that's more attractive!

You know, this struggle is never going to end for somebody as shallow as me..
