Why do we always want what we cannot get?

I've not been much of a gadget person. Having a tech savvy boyfriend who talks incessantly about mother boards, cooler fans, softwares, graphic cards, hard disks and all the "over-clocking" his computer can handle (still dunno what that means), i still do not get why people spend tonnes on gadgets!

But i do know i have an eye for beautiful things. I like anything that is aesthetically pleasing. Anything colorful, classic, sleek, unique and beautiful that catches my eyes! Yes yes... i am a visual person. And i wouldn't even try to defend myself by saying looks aren't important.

Recently, i had my eyes set on the Vaio SR series. Sleek, light, frosted pink, ah! that bloody one eye monster had my heart in a beat...For starters, i realized how important mobility is. I cannot imagine how i went through my entire college life with a desk top back home. And now that i'm working.. Writing down notes and then transferring to a computer is so tedious. So it is time i get a light portable good laptop! And not to mention, this one is a pretty one too!

The thing is, the price tag. Sigh........

This laptop will cost me a hefty RM5000. Well, not too bad if i didn't have other computers to compare it with on performance basis. I mean, rational people do that. Right now, i'm not much of one...MSI is a new brand in Malaysia but is renowned across the globe. They are makers of motherboards and have excellent performance, based on ALL the reviews i have read! (pfft!) It's a little lighter, in fact, than the Sony Vaio, and has better specifications compared to the one i want. Price wise? HALF! In fact i can get this piece of ugly baby for RM2200. In fact, everything about it is better than the Sony Vaio, except for the outlook and that ugly ugly logo which makes it look cheap!

It's like choosing a guy.. DO i want someone who's handsome with an "ok" personality, or do i want someone ugly but is charming to the core........

I've never fared well in distinguishing whats more important to me..... What makes it different this time??.... SIGHHHHH

SIGHHHHHHH

What do you think i should do?
