Since my laptop is near it’s expiry, I am thinking of a new laptop but cheap. And a small one too. When wandering around at the shopping mall, I saw an Acer laptop dealer promoting a small type of Acer. I can see that the laptop has an interesting color or it’s colorful. I approach the dealer and have a closed eye on the laptop. An Acer Aspire One.
“Hey Ah-Moi aah, where is the CD drive lorr?”
“No don’t havelah just USB” Said the sales girl like don’t want to sell it to me.
“Soo Ah-Moi aah, is there a slot for 3G Sim card in it?”
“What is that? Read the brochure laa”
So I think there is no slot for 3G Sim card at the Acer one laptop. The price is okay I think for a sub notebook or a netbook (the term for it) - RM1600 or USD$500. I don’t know much about the new Intel Atom processor - Intel’s smallest chip. Built with the world’s smallest transistors. No will not read it for you, read here about all the technical stuff about Intel Atom.

I have an old Acer Aspire 3620 laptop. The 3620 was doing me the job until recently the battery unable to charge. If you unplugged the power cord, the laptop will kapish (shut down) at the blink of an eye like normal desktop computer do when blackout. The logic is the battery doesn’t function anymore and can just open from it slot so can throw it away. But if I throw it away the laptop will not look good so I just kept the dead battery alive.
Laptop battery issue are common. Although we know the myth about dont’t put the battery in the laptop slot unless needed to, we still ignore it and the battery stays forever. It seem logic to us, such us why the mobile phone battery always in the mobile phone and why not take it out. Mobile phone battery can last longer than the laptop battery. So why is the laptop battery just can’t last more that 1 year? Maybe it is a conspiracy between the battery company so they can sustain the company as laptop battery is not like AA or AAA battery which we can buy everyday at grocery shop.
