Mrs. Sanchez: Hi Honey. What are you doing? Mr. Sanchez: I was looking at some computer ads. Mrs. Sanchez: Computer ads? Why? Mr. Sanchez: I wanted to buy one for Hector. He needs it for school. Mrs. Sanchez: Is that really necessary? Mr. Sanchez: Things are different now, dear. Having a computer is like having a pen and paper. Mrs. Sanchez: Well, you’re probably right. But won’t it be too expensive? Are you sure we can afford to buy a computer? Mr. Sanchez: Sure, we can afford it. We have some savings. And there are some really good deals right now. Mrs. Sanchez: Really? Mr. Sanchez: Here, take a look. This is a laptop. It’s light and easy to carry. Mrs. Sanchez: Well, laptops really are thin and light. Mr. Sanchez: Exactly. That’s the whole point. Compare the laptop to a desktop computer. Mrs. Sanchez: The desktop computer is a lot bigger and heavier than the laptop. Mr. Sanchez: Yes, but it’s cheaper. Mrs. Sanchez: Let’s see. The laptop is smaller than the desktop. But it’s also more expensive than the desktop. Mr. Sanchez: Right. Mrs. Sanchez: Which one has the most memory? Mr. Sanchez: The laptop has more memory than the desktop. Mrs. Sanchez: So then that must mean that the laptop is faster. Mr. Sanchez: Right again. More memory means faster speed. Smaller in size, lighter in weight, more memory, and more expensive. Bigger in size, heavier in weight, slower, and cheaper. Mrs. Sanchez: I think we should spend a little more money and buy the laptop. It will be more useful for Hector than the desktop. Mr. Sanchez: I agree. And if we buy it today, we can get it on sale. Mrs. Sanchez: Well, what are we waiting for? Mr. Sanchez: Let’s run down to the store right now and get it before Hector comes home. We can surprise him! Mr. Sanchez: Oh, wait! Here he comes. Act natural. Mrs. Sanchez: What is that? Hector: What? This? Mr. Sanchez: Yeah, that! Hector: It’s my new laptop. OK, well, it’s not new. Mateo gave it to me. He got a new laptop and gave me his old one. Pretty cool, huh? Mr. & Mrs. Sanchez: Oh yes, that’s wonderful. Wonderful.
