Toshiba U305-S5007

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 06:13:00 +0000

Finally my Girlfriend could have a new Toshiba laptop U305-S5077.

This laptop has 13.3" wide screen and will replace her old one Toshiba M50 with 14" wide screen.

She likes it so much, because she could move from her office to the classroom more lightly with her new 2 kg laptop.

With 160GB storage space she could save her favourite movies, music and tons of programs that she needs.

Plugged with Intel Core Duo T2080 with 1.73 GHz speed clock and 1024MB DDR2 memory, this machine could run Windows Vista Home Premium lightly and at no cost because this operating system is OEM.

We search this laptop from last two weeks. After we search by internet, we found that the stores are always far from Bandung. That's why we decide to search at local stores like BEC, IBCC and Be-Mall.

The last store is the store where we buy this laptop. The store is so small and only used to display their collection. We meet Mr. Anwar as our counselor, he shows us the laptop and let us use it for a while.

He told us that the price of this laptop is 8.5 million rupiah plus he will give us the bonuses like carrying bag, bluetooth adapter and optical mouse.

First, we didn't agree with the price because for us it was to expensive. But Mr. Anwar try to convince us that the price were still negotiable, if we buy the laptop he will cut the price 100 thousand rupiah and told us to search to other stores that could sell the same item with lower price, he could give us the lowest price.

And then, we try to prove his word by visiting IBCC. After we browse from store to store, we couldn't find any lower price than Mr.Anwar said. So, we decide to buy form him.

Well, that's my story bout looking for a dreamed laptop and now the laptop are already in our hands.

Always look for the cheapest price with the highest quality.
