My Dad now has another hobby - downloading music and movies from the web. My husband told him about the site where he can download music and from there he was hooked. He even thought about upgrading his subscription (as you know, his music ranges from the 50s to the 70s so selection for a free account will be limited) and now wants to have an external hard disk for his music files (There are plenty!). Now, he discovered movies and he is more hooked.

He now wants to upgrade his laptop. It’s an old Toshiba model but has served him well because it has been around for years (It was a hand me down from a relative in fact). He wants to upgrade the memory most of all so he can run applications. I told him it will be better if he buys a new one in the US (or asks for a hand me down again :)). Edil explained to him some of the features he needed to consider in buying a laptop. He referred him to a laptop buying guide.

So he decided he wants big hard disk space, enough memory and a good video card (because he would really want to watch movies a lot). A speaker will be a great accessory. I told him we can go with a Dell laptop anytime - my cousin is also a fan of Dell laptops. He has been through a lot of top pc laptop brands - HP, Toshiba, Acer - but only Dell satisfied him (and he uses the laptop for his online business!).

Of course, my sister who is into design and graphic arts would be voting for a MAC. On the graphic design side, wherein there will be a choice between pc vs mac laptops, the MAC wins. Id love to go into the dark side too, but for now, Im still in love with G, my Dell Inspiron 1525
