Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Cant bring myself to buy a laptop
Posted: 11/2/2004 7:12:45 AM EDT
Where I'm at in Afghanistan is pretty remote, so its a small run base.  We just recently got commercial internet lines put in that people can hook their laptops up to.  Its awefully tempting, but I just cant justify buying a laptop that I wont get for at least a month and will only be here for maybe 4-5 more months.  Its just not worth it is it?

What kind of connectivity do you guys get over there? Speed?

Do you need a super 3.2G laptop, or just one for cruising the internet?

If you can live with a 1.8 gig or slower, I'm sure someone here has one collecting dust that they could part with. We used to have a stack of NEC's with 56K modems, CD-ROM's and LAN cards but we gave them all away.

Anybody else out there?

You can get an old beater P2 laptop that will get you on the net and play MP3s for about a hundred bucks on Ebay.
