finally bought my own laptop, ASUS K40Ij review

Finally, I bought a laptop for myself. This is a dream come true for me. This is my first investment since I got my job. And I am happy.

The model is ASUS K40IJ, great deal. It came with a free Canon printer when I purchased this laptop last May. It does not include an OS though. I bought Windows Starter for PhP 2.7K. I did not like Windows Starter, you can’t personalize your laptop that much. You can not change your desktop wallpaper with Starter. So, I decided to upgrade to Home Premium through Windows Anytime Upgrade. Then on, I like Windows 7.

*Just thought of posting my wallpaper.

Asus K40IJ is a perfect laptop for me. This is suitable for web designers like me. Its temperature is cool no matter how many hours it operates. I can leave my laptop ON for 24 hours 7 days a week yet it does not overheat. Also, this laptop is not that heavy to carry. Pretty portable!

saving for my personal laptop

If you ask me what is the number 1 in my wish list, it should be a laptop. If you knew me very well, you don’t need to raise the question since the answer is already obvious.

For me, having a laptop is not a want. If we try to go back to our Economics subject, wants and needs, I would classify buying a laptop as my need. First and foremost, I want to have a part time job as a web developer/blogger. It is not because I am not satisfied with my current job, it is just that it would be too impractical if I can’t make money just because I don’t have a tool to work on it. Yeah, I need to invest.

So yeah, I am saving my money so I can buy a laptop. I need to be thrifty these days. I aim to save PhP5,000.00/mo so after 6 months or so I am ready to rush at the mall and buy my laptop. lol Please help me God! I already told my parents and they were very supportive about it.

I will be disconnecting my Smartbro at home. My computer is already damaged and there is no sense of paying for the internet. This would help me. I also thank God for the blessings. Countless blessings! I just got regularized and my paycheck has increased. Yikes!

I need to be patient. Loaning some cash just to buy a laptop would be scary for me as a first timer in loaning. So loaning is not an option for me. There was also a time when I was very interested in credit cards, but after I read the requirements, it then stopped me and told me that I don’t qualify for it. I guess, saving PhP5,000.00/mo can be exciting. Hope I can do it.

I am eying for Dell, Acer, Asus, HP or any laptop that would be suitable for a web designing job. Anyone can recommend what and where to buy? I am based here in Cebu, Philippines. Hopefully by July I can buy one.

Here are some links I am interested with:

Anything else you can suggest? I would appreciate it. Until here, thank you guys for reading!
