Wishlist for 2008

Things I really would like to buy in the next month or so if I had oodles of cash:

Asus EEE PC - 12,500 baht

Really a sweet little portable machine that is so light. Pretty much everything I do is now online, so I want to be able to cart this little bad boy to the beach, to the coffee shop, to Singapore, or wherever and maintain total efficiency.

Nokia N95 - 26,000 baht

It has everything, connectivity, music, GPS, games and a sweet camera. Especially since I recently lost my beloved Canon.

MacMini - 24,000 baht

I want to hook this up to my LCD and turn it into a media center. Play music, view pictures, watch downloaded videos/movies, watch DVDs and also turn it into a DVR. Also just want to surf the web on my big LCD.

A New PC - 50,000 baht

No link here, since I'm not really sure what I want. I do want a fairly high end machine with a nice graphics card and sound card, a nice sound system to play music, and most importantly 3 LCD screens. I want a command center!  I'll use my little Asus EEE as my mobile unit, my MacMini as entertainment/media and the big desktop command center to rule them all.

Nokia N95 - save your money. Phone feels cheep, works slow, and the GPS is sad.

MacMini - don't believe the hype. I got one, it's in the shop already. It shut off on me whenever it wanted to. In the bit I've used it.. well, I'm not a convert. I've got (had)it connected to the projector and it's great for playing anything u have in iTunes.. but for avi's can't use Front Row.

For my mini pc I've got the small Fujitsu, which I like, but that Asus looks good for the price.

My 2 baht worth...

I don't think the N95 would take much punishment before falling apart. Nokia E90 is pretty cool as a machine but not quite as trendy as the N95.
Ericsson P990i does everything the N95 does and more, and has better battery life and is cheaper.
