My First Desktop
“Bhaiya didn’t they gave a demo of how to play a cd in this”, anxious Mayank, with a torch in his hand to help me look inside the CPU, asked me. Again gaining composure on myself I steadily jacked all the wires to the DVD writer and then slowly slide the metal lid of the CPU to close it, and the electronic circuit , laughing like a baby as it has been successful in hiding the compact disc inside it, was devoured of light.
“Bhaiya you should have been bit careful”, Mayank continued. I had to answer now, showing my newly nurtured all-izz-well attitude I said, “No issues Mayank, tomorrow I shall give a call to the DELL call centre, guys will come and this DVD-Writer will be back in life.” Tensed Mayan left for the day saying adieu. Closing the door behind me I again switched on my UPS through which the life flowed back to my sleeping baby monster DELL INSPIRON 560s, my first desktop, whose DVD-Writer has few moments back have just swallowed one small diametric compact disc and now it is unwilling to respond to any other DVD’s request. With a bit of heavy heart I clicked my Word 2007, and started writing the blog that I was planning to type since days. Actually days will be incorrect as my plans of buying the desktop took genesis in my mind months back, when my laptop HP-NX5000 started showing sign of ageing .
Friends I took almost two months to decide over my first desktop. I wanted to be certain about it. I researched about the perfect vendor , then the configuration and finally which shop to buy in Kolkata. Everytime I was getting sure about the configuration a new product was hitting the market. January first week the latest processor i-series from INTEL stable was out in CES. I did a bit of research on it, and I really found the idea behind it interesting, “Complete the task fast and then rest”. I was excited. I immediately called up all the shop’s to knw if they have got any of i-series’ model, I was turned down my negative response. Finally unable to wait any longer I decided to go with Core 2 Duo, 4 GB, 512MB graphics and got my desktop financed completely by Baba(Thanks dad). The shop I got mine and will recommend you guys is in Chandi , Emall ,Shop No. 7 .Good people and great service.
P.S. I took the CPU to the shop and got my dvd out of the writter. Everything is supercool and am playing Assasin’s Creed.
Cheers.
Enjoy the new system buddy! I admit life, or the gamut of activities that constitutes my life presently, is just not feasible without my laptop. But there is a serene joy in sitting at a desktop and experiencing the back-to-roots feeling that it evokes in me! Reminds me of the good old days characterized by a simplicity that seems lost now....
ReplyDeleteHey! Hope you are doing Good! "The world's Is In Me", i am not sure whether thats correct, but sounds very good!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe amount of features incorporated(device) in a intelligent manner by the companies to confuse and tempt the consumer has become the order of the day! You need a hell lot of research before zero-ing in on your products(basically what you want) and then go for it! And if it is an electronic Gadget you need need a lot more time for the research-activity!! :)
I more thing i really wonder why people always want the latest released version of an product which is priced whoppingly(i bet it will fall half the price in 6 months).. I dont understand what is the need to shell out extra bucks for some features that you may use once a year!!In ur case i appreciate u did a survey of the i-series but i dont see the requirement for the same. (What r u going 2 do wit a processor that works like a super computer..? U definitely dont nee that for ur basic/daily needs) The config that u have bought for is more than suffice!! :)
