Found a deal for an a laptop, but i'm not sure if I need another computer.

Just wondering if any of you saw a bargain for something you want, but don't really need...

I would love a netbook as well, and I have seen some quite bargains on them, but I can't justify it at the moment.
I just bought a new full sized laptop recently which is why it's an even worse idea.

I can afford most anything I'd ever want. The problem is that I do not want anything.

When I was young I had no money but wanted a lot. Now I have the money but want nothing. Oh, the irony ...

OP ... it's called perceived value.

some of the netbooks you can get are under $300.

I wasn't sure about posting a link here since this is not the for sale forum, but you can find it under techbargains. I'm still on the fence.... :(

As far as computers go, I sorta want a netbook, but I already have 3 PCs (Gaming PC, Laptop, HTPC).

Perhaps I'll dump the laptop for a netbook, as I only use the laptop for internet when I'm at school. I don't really do anything on it.

I almost got a 10" Dell netbook a few weeks back, but decided that I'd rather have a fully functioning laptop.

Netbooks keep getting better & better, I'd wait till their GPU's are a bit more sophisticated.

As they are, you can upgrade everything but the GPU and make them a fairly functional mini PC...

since my personal computer usage is 95% web surfing , a netbook is perfect for me
