Well a few months back when I first started to look for a replacement for my dell 13inch laptop (and discovered PCS) things were quite simple, as I had a clear budget of 800GBP and was looking at an Optimus 15inch laptop configuration.
Then to my surprise I got a 300 quid tax rebate- woot! and I could push my laptop budget up and then my indecisions began!
I was then thinking of a Vortex II 15inch laptop and was quite happy with the choice when someone mentioned about the Skyfire 17 inch. So I have been weighing up the pros and cons of 15 vs 17 inch laptop for a while now and also waiting for the Skyfire to come back into stock.
Although I am not totally convinced myself in getting a 17inch laptop, due to the weight and size, my circumstances have changed and I don't travel as much as I used to so the larger laptop top should not pose too many issues. Then to add to "my pain" of making a decision the Vortex III comes out of the "box". This laptop configuration would probably push my budget higher again to 1.2k and is still achievable, but is pushing my "boundaries" of what I would pay for a new laptop.
This week to add further pain to my indecisiveness I read on the forums about the Sandy Bridge and the new Ivy Bridge Intel chips and the release at the end of the month.
With so many choices available Vortex II, III Skyfire, and numerous releases being made and an ever expanding budget (to a certain) point has made it an interesting few months, but is now making my head hurt!!!!!!
I wonder how many other people are in the same position as I am at the moment?:wacko::wacko::wacko:
