Gateway MD7801u, Astig! A New Notebook!

Gateway MD7801u, Astig! A New Notebook! Yes! Just as what dad promised us, he bought us a new laptop and I’m blogging from home right now. Things are getting better and better for us each day and we are so thankful to God for all the blessings that we are receiving from him. I’m sure my siblings will be so happy later when they get home and find out we have a new laptop, a 1mbps internet connection plus  a new telephone line. This means no more prepaid phone lines for us, because it comes with free local calls and all that. Ang lakas ng globe! yoohoo!

Another great thing is that, dad also had our old pc fixed and so we have two, and we don’t have to wait for each other to finish using the PC. Miko being such a gaming freak would sure be glad the other PC is ok again. He agreed to share it with Amari and Paolo. JR and I can share with the new notebook.But whoever needs to use it can have it. We promised dad that once he buy us a notebook we will take care of it.

Dad bought the  Gateway MD7801u Laptop that was offered to him by a colleague. Dad said he paid for half of it in cash and he used his 0% deal on his credit card for the half of the amount payable in 1 year. Wow, that’s just awesome! I’m so happy that dad’s projects have pushed through. I can’t wait til I graduate, pass the board exam and be a licensed Architect just like him. When that happens we can work together as we planned and who knows one day we will have our own construction firm. God is good!

He originally planned to buy us another desktop coz it’s cheaper but he thought of buying a notebook that has a lot of storage instead so it’s easy to take it and move it wireless inside the house, and did I say it also came with a free printer? Anyway, Here are The Specs just in case you’d like to get one too. Everyone’s crazy about either getting a Macbook,  Dell, Sony, Asus, HP, etc. But I must say that Gateway has a say when it comes to specs too. I say, daddy Joey made the right choice.
