Window Shopping for a New Computer/ Laptop

I have been planning to buy a new computer or laptop. Oh well, I believed I rather buy a laptop so that I can bring it anywhere with me especially when I am on a trip. I already received some offers in my inbox but I am still waiting for it to get cheaper. I am already looking for some laptop brands and when I find the most cheapest ones this coming holiday season, I will probably get a new one.

My laptop is still good but it is quite big for my luggage when I travel. I mean it needs more space and it is quite heavy. It has a 17'3 inches screen, which I really find quite big.


This afternoon, I visited a German shopping website and found a good laptop. I am already bookmarking it. I know electronics get cheaper from time to time especially if there are already new models.

Below is the description of the laptop that I am bookmarking. So far Asus is a good brand but I am quite contented with it since my laptop now has also the same brand.

Here it is and sorry since this is in German language. Asus A55VD-SX596H Notebook : Microsoft Windows® 8, 64 Bit
