But you felt the need to post about not feeling the need to blog about it.

Both things are OK, blogging and not blogging, specially if it's in your/their personal blog/site. Let people enjoy things (like cheap notebooks) :)

Why not? Not all blogs need to be like news letters. My blog mostly contains my daily caloric intake.

shrug I have the same issue as the blog author faced... I appreciated their perspective on the issue.

Of course, I did think the topic was going to be about laptops, but shrug still was a nice read.
