• My New Laptop

  Wow, I haven’t written a real entry in a long time. I finally have my own laptop now so I will no longer have any problems delays when I have the urge to blog. I didn’t read my last entry to tell where I last left off so forgive me if I am repeating myself.

  I was waiting on my grandma’s money to get a laptop but I suppose I wasn’t clear on how much I actually needed. So when the money came in the mail I was happy that I am closer to my goal but a little bummed that she only gave me $120 dollars when a decent laptop costs about $800. I was really stressed out with college starting up soon and I didn’t have laptop or even a decent internet connection on my house computers. I was so stressed out this one night that I ended up crying to my mom how much it sucks to not do anything productive because I have my memory classes as well as my other work online. I can’t remember what her reply was but I just remember it was lame. I told her that I always work hard but I won’t suck up to you or butter you up, I personally find that very degrading. So I got lucky one day and we went to several stores like Best Buy and whatnot to go laptop shopping.

  I knew what I was generally looking for though my mom insisted that I should bring a paper to write stuff down. I ended up at Circuit City and I was impressed with their selection compared to the other stores I went to. I know I said that I wasn’t sure about HP because Cathy’s computer dramatized me because it sucked but I found a wonderful HP computer that fit all my needs and more than the Sony Vaios and the Dell laptops. I am currently on a special edition HP computer. I tried to find it on Google and Cnet but for some reason it doesn’t come up so I am just going to explain its features.

  I it’s a HP Pavilion dv5-1159se special edition notebook pc, glossy white and nature inspired, 4GB of RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 2.00GHz, integrated webcam 3.0 mega pixels, integrated mic, HD screen, with plenty of USB ports and an SD card slot. I am surprised with my little knowledge of computer buying I got a really good computer for only $800. Since my dad knows more about computers than me he was impressed at what I bought. I wanted to make sure this laptop doesn’t die out on me, is able to multitask and is a part gamer computer, which it is. Though, I am using it just for school and work more than fun.
