I picked
Go to the London MCM Expo and get my anime/manga/gaming/general nerding fix for the month and see some of the cast of Eureka(omg I know). No missing class, non-trivial possibility of sushi. (Note, huge otaku.) over
Go for a "relaxing" 3day trip to the Lake District in northern England. Means missing a whole day of class. (Note, not an outdoorsy type.) (1 year ago)
I picked
Buy the HP Special Edition Pavillion bundle with a bag, and a mouse for $960, but with less a little less power, and a much lower price tag. Also pretty shiny and white.
