So tell me /g/, why do you give in to your consumerist urges instead of investing your money on a home server or something? Does a shiny fruit in the back of the screen or a red dot in the middle of the keyboard turn you on so much?
The ONLY rational reason to upgrade my laptop is because it is quite heavy (2.6 kg) and has a low resolution. But then anything lighter than that is guaranteed to have shit keyboard for effeminate fingers.

I always invest my money on my pc, home server, and the occasional trip abroad. The moment I feel there is a reason to buy a new laptop I will do it. I almost did it this summer but I bought myself a stylus tablet instead. Maybe I will be convinced when a lightweight Zen laptop appears.
