One thing that I find challenging is making up my mind on certain things, mainly when usage of funds is involved!
Take a good example my perennial problem of getting the laptop fixed - all the knowledge on investment analysis don't help me that much! My current lifestyle demands that laptop would be most convenient (Yes I'm a nomad!) - it is VERY convenient for me. A desk top - though cheaper takes up a lot of space in my opinion and worse when I'm moving around. Maybe I've just gotten used to laptops - sentimental? Thought I was pragmatic.
This is where I need advice. Which is more durable?
My current laptop has lasted for approximately 3 years - being my first one I guess I never took great care of it. The next one would be well looked after!
Apart from cost why should I go for a desktop?
This is where I actually need help - I hope e-nyce is around (can I borrow your brains)
Who told to take time when deciding who to marry this is more complicated!
Nice weekend.

Let me be forward: do not buy a desktop if you TRULY plan to go back to Africa.
Why? Because you know how it is there, a laptop will be much more convenient to move around with, especially if you have to take it for maintenance.
If you don't truly plan to go back home, then it doesn't really matter which you buy. As long as you buy it from a big chain store (or even Dell Online) where you can return it if there are problems, and take it in for maintenance.
Go for the cheapest model, as long as it has as much -- or more -- memory, storage, processor speed, etc., as your old laptop. You won't be missing anything by buying low-end.
You run a blog, you surf the net from home, you need access to news, other blogs, email, etc. so you must have a computer for your personal use. So, in this matter, you cannot avoid spending the money.
There's really nothing else to say, except - stop being African, spend the fricking money, go get a new machine!
haha .........
well said i can't possibly save every cent/penny i make.
you got me there. it's only money and if i don't spend it who will?
point well taken - straight up the chin like a man!
Thanx e-nyce for your wisdom.
Still no decision on a purchase? Or did you decide to fix your current one?
Tsk,tsk. You can the African out of Africa...
Note, Christmastime is the best time for good sales.
FYI I had to buy a new laptop recently. Just came yesterday. Now gotta begin the process of shifting from the old tried-and-true to my new "baby girl". Yay!
