May I understand what panic buying is? And how it leads to a $500 purchase?
Mayhaps. My brain becomes mush when multiple people talk to me, so all the laptop information in my brain disappeared. I awkwardly followed the conversation and ended up buying what was suggested since the only thing on my mind I could think was "I need a laptop"
I was looking for a little notebook. I needed something for work that was very portable, but this is clunky and heavy. Good for thwackin' I guess.
I normally buy online just to avoid this, but I wanted to check out the local store for convenience. It was an ambush I'm telling ya!
