Pocket full of Dell

Published June 1, 2009 | By Don Pedro

Besides the bike riding I decided to throw caution to the wind and buy some electronics. My going to BestBuy “just to look” turned into a pair of new Dell Inspiron laptops. Yes, a pair. They were on sale! For just over $400 I got a Dual Core 2.16 Ghz machine, 3GB of ram and DVD burner. It’s not some machine that will set your hair on fire or anything crazy like that, but damn, this is 5 times better than the last laptop I bought 5 years ago and it was about 1/4 of the price.

Now I just have to remove all that trialware crap and she’ll be good to go!
