Last year, I thought of getting Dell studio laptop but however, the latest Dell studio XPS laptop looks ugly & they have black colour only! And it costs about 3k+. So yup, I've gotta think twice because firstly, it looks ugly and it's expensive.
End of last year, I found out of that Sony was selling pink laptop at a very reasonable price and the specs are slightly the same as Dell Studio XPS.
I was telling myself.. why not buy a Sony Vaio E Series VPCEA36FG because
it's Pink in colour with
- Intel® Core™ i5-560M Processor 2.66 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.20 GHz
- ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 Graphics 1 GB DDR3
- 4 GB (2 GB x 2) DDR3 SDRAM*2
- 500 GB*4 (Serial ATA, 5400 rpm)
at RM3499.
So I was trying my luck because I know this model is discontinued and it's very rare to have it in stock, especially Pink colours.
Off we went to The Curve yesterday, but unfortunately it was closed for CNY. HAHA, it's a sign... telling me not to buy it.
LOL, I know myself very well that I wouldn't give up. I know Harvey Norman is selling it too, so I decided to go to Harvey Norman. The SA told me that the Sony Pink Vaio laptop is available. -_-
I couldn't decide whether to buy it or not. 10 minutes later, I decided not to buy it & walked off. - we found out later that they only have a display set. WHAT THE. which is in black colour.
The next day (which is today), I told my bf that I must get it wtf. I couldn't stand myself. So we drove to the nearest Sony store & Harvey Norman and found out that it is not available.
The Sony SA told me that the new series VPCEA46FG will be released soon... and I made a booking because they said that the specs are the same as the previous one (VPCEA36FG) & paid deposit of RM200. The reason I made a booking is because... apparently they said that the specs are the same & it has better processor & Pink colour is available.
So stupid of me for making such decision because... you'll know why later.
Reached home and I did a search on the new product VPCEA46FG and FOUND OUT THAT they do NOT have it in Pink colour & with
- 320 GB*4 (Serial ATA, 5400 rpm) (What 320GB only? I thought it's 500GB?)
- ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 Graphics 512 MB DDR3 (er, 512MB? Wasn't it supposed to be 1GB?)
- i5-480M Processor 2.66 GHz
at the same price RM3499!!
Definitely, I've cancelled the order but they claim that the deposit is NOT refundable. (I've checked with one of the SA earlier before I made the order, he said it can be refunded.)
In the end, I bought a PS3 game for the bf and did not buy the laptop.
I guess the laptop is not meant for me...
... speechless.
