She just keeps staring into that blank screen. I can't help but feel things have broken down and she just sees her disappointments looking back at her.
Dan if I can afford a good laptop I know you can too. Get thee to an Apple store.
Anyone who's gonna jump on me for recommending a MBP/MBA, STFU. I've got a Win7 machine a few feet away from me (which I built with my own hands.) The fact is all PC laptops are garbage. You're better off buying a Mac and installing Win7 on it than buying some piece of plastic shit from Dell/HP/Lenovo/etc.
@6, Apple makes great laptops and crap desktops. Self-assembled PC desktops kick ass but their laptops are inferior. I thought this was accepted wisdom by now?
Yeah, that laptop is like two inches thick. It looks like my old Toshiba; I'd guess 1998 at the latest. That screen is probably SVGA, 800x600 at best. I don't know what kind of computer you have, but I KNOW it's not running Windows Me.
Fun fact: Mr. Savage is very well known in the 1980s hardware collector community. When he says "she has a better laptop" he means "better preserved antique."
Here's Dan making a call! Can you believe that thing still works? Everything in his collection is in perfect working order. Dan Savage is the Jay Leno of personal electronics bling.
I'd rather have a newer model ThinkPad than a Macbook. All my Mac friends are always running out of battery while mine keeps going. And ThinkPads are much tougher than their Macbook equivalents.
Hotel internet connectivity is always crapshoot. I've called Marriott's internet provider countless times with the same logon issues, I eventually put the number on speed dial. Success was 50%. However, I was pleased when Marriott waived the internet fee due to my frequent guest status - that was a benefit I really appreciated. I don't think the laptop has much to do with connecting to a hotel's internet. One Marriott was without the cloud for the whole week I was there, and that included the front desk too.
A white person should NEVER say anything negative to a black woman about her hair. You wouldn't BELIEVE how much shit black women take about their hair!
(Also, the sleeve of her jacket is a problem.)

If it's not, it should be.
Wifi?
I have Clear Wimax and I can use it in any metro area.
And the only "laptop" that matters is an ultrabook.
I'm getting one.
When they start costing $350.

That's a lamp bolted to the desk. No way anyone is taking that home to use as vase or anything else!
