For those of you who have been wondering why the lucky 8 of us were given free makeovers, shopping trips and FOOD, this is the reason why:

It’s called the Dell Inspiron Mini 9.  To be exact, the Maxis Broadband-ready Dell Inspiron Mini 9.

Maxis has teamed up with Dell to produce this teeny laptop computer that comes with a built-in HSPA modem.  To noobs (like me who had to ask three different times what it meant), it means that the computer has Maxis Broadband Service fitted inside.

In other words (I still didn’t understand at this point), you can go online with this laptop anywhere without cables, without needing to make sure there is a wireless connection available for you to steal wtf.

So the kind people of Maxis lent me one of these for a week to play with, to carry around and to basically act like a poser at Starbucks because my computer is way cooler than everyone else’s wtf.

You know why!

Because Dell Inspiron Mini 9 (true to its name!) measures 9 inches!  Sorry, 9 inches diagonally so it’s actually less than that in terms of width.

I pulled it out of its box and instantly fell in love with it.

You know how I have a penchant for all things small!  Every time I see something tiny or fits me I feel like it was MADE for me and I need to have it!

And everyone at office thought it suited me so well too didn’t look too small or too big in my hands <3333

See how it looks on my lap just nice right doesn’t really look like a supertiny laptop!

And when everyone poses with it their laptops all look tiny in their hands except mine *smug

Anyway, one week with the Mini 9 was so —– shit I forgot the word.  Makes me feel like I have the power to do anything la wtf.

When waiting for someone, whip out laptop to check email. (no need to sleep in public anymore wtf)

When wanna show off I got cool laptop, whip it out to action to passersby wtf.

I mean I have a laptop at home too (Dell incidentally) but even though it’s 14 inches I don’t feel like lugging it around cos it is really heavy and quite inconvenient.

But with the Mini 9 I was carrying it around during our Day Out and I realized that the laptop I was carrying was actually lighter than my own handbag = =

I brought it to work and although I couldn’t use it much there cos all my emails are in my desktop, I’ve been damn sick for the past two days, and I kept thinking if only I had my own company laptop like all the fancy schmancy people above me, I could have this Mini 9 (by this time, I’d already returned it sigh) and I could just lie in bed and check all my emails so convenient and easy!

(I guess you should be able to tell how much I dread going back to work and seeing all the emails last night I even dreamed about work the whole night long in between waking up because of fever T___________T)

But not only for work!

Like I said, when you’re out with friends and wanna be a poser.

Or somewhere with Grandma and you need a breather from all your relatives’ reminiscing talk wtf.

I’m thinking about getting it now actually.  See how la IF I EVER GET A PAY RISE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

To get the laptop, you pay RM99 for 24 months and it comes inclusive of 6 months worth of Maxis Broadband subscription.

And then after the 6th month, the Maxis Broadband service will be automatically extended at a promotional rate of only RM77 a month.

So after 24 months the laptop is yours to own and do whatever you want with.
