Found Not Lost

My 12 year old daughter got on of these mini laptops for Christmas. Before you go thinking that I give generous Christmas gifts like this, think again. She used the Christmas money she received from family plus some that she saved up from her birthday in October and got her very own Acer mini laptop after investigating several laptop deals available.

She’s had it a couple of months now and she is perfectly happy with it. It does everything she wants it to do plus some. She’s also very protective of it. She hasn’t let any of us touch it!

Have you seen these mini laptops? They are cute and they are also quite affordable at about $300. Although I’ve heard that there’s even better laptop deals out there, kind of hard to believe they can go lower then $300 don’t you think?

My boss got one because she got tired of lugging around her big laptop whenever she traveled. So far, she hasn’t had any problems with hers and she says she doesn’t even miss the full sized laptop. So I’m thinking I may get these for the girls for Christmas.

For the longest time, we had a desctop PC with about half the hard drive and memory that this one little laptop has. I think my girls should be able to do the things they like to do and maybe even some schoolwork with this mini laptop, don’t you think?
