Sayuri Dissatisfaction Saga Part 2: Ambivalence and Dilemmas

Last time, you caught me trying to decide what kind of computer system to replace Sayuri with. Sayuri is my Macbook, and I am starting to feel like the monitor isn’t positioned tall/high enough for how I would like it to be. I would like to be able to work on a monitor mounted on eye-level once again, and being on a laptop isn’t exactly working out for me nowadays.

The last scene you caught me with on the last post was of me wistfully evaluating whether I’ll get a Macbook Pro or an iMac. And so there I was...

As I walked away from Digital Hub, I mused about getting either an Asus, Toshiba, Acer, or a sturdy OEM laptop like a Flextronics (formerly Arima) laptop instead.

But as I drifted from computer store to computer store, and thought about my options, I thought that getting a PC laptop would not be a good idea for me, since I have plans of installing Ubuntu Linux’s newer distros in the future. Ubuntu is maturing and it’s an exciting time to try out every distro that comes out. I also had plans of installing OS X Leopard’s hacked version while I’m still not ready to buy another Mac. So if I aim to have a place where I can play with software and OS’s, a laptop is definitely NOT a good idea.

I was thinking that I’ll go out for a Macbook Pro instead, or probably an iMac. I was hoping to just keep praying, working and saving until I get either one. But yesterday, as I decided to just take a look-see at the different computer stores around the mall nearest me, my heart started to calcify its decision: I want to go out for building my own desktop instead.

Up next: My dream desktop system.
