new toy

A year ago, I blogged about wanting a Tablet PC convertible notebook computer (the timing then just wasn’t right). Because I had decided to invest in mutual funds, nest egg, and other investment opportunities, I had to put it off. Until now. Last Thursday, I won an eBay auction for an open-box (like new) Fujitsu Lifebook T4020 Tablet PC for $1,195 (brand new normally goes for around $1,600).

I’ve had my Fujitsu Lifebook P2120 for about three years now and it’s been the most reliable computer I’ve ever owned (can’t recall ever seeing a BSOD)–despite the slower hardware that usually comes with increased portability. Still works like new. I’ll probably sell it on eBay (can fetch $600-$700 for it despite this model’s been out 4.5 years already; I bought it for $899 new in mid-2003).

I hope that this this new addition will help my overall organization, notetaking/brainstorming, and add some much needed spunk to my studying. I’ve also added a new link on the right.
