How To Get A Laptop

I finally got my own laptop! It's an X42J, by ASUS. Okay, I won't pretend as if I know a single thing about laptops. The desktop I have been using at home has not been upgraded since 4 years' ago, and it suited me just fine. A desktop that old...compared to the laptops/desktops of today, probably has archaic specs.

I did what I know how to best: leverage on the knowledge of other people. You know the saying: If you stand on the shoulders of giants, you're not that short, or something like that.

I went with one of my friends to FUNAN first and he gave me a rundown on the basics of laptop specs. Basically, RAM determines how work your computer can handle. The processor determines it's speed. Hmm, that's about all I remember haha.

Next, I went to the IT fair. It was horribly crowded. (You can play the "penis" game, if you want) but the thing is, it really is cheaper over there. Also, they throw in plenty of freebies your way, and if you talk to the sales person nicely enough, they can slice the price down even further. I went there on Saturday and brought home a bunch of flyers.

Then finally, I discussed with my Dad, who was buying the laptop for me about our budget, and what are the best laptops we can get with the budget. And then, we went together to the IT fair on Sunday and looked around. After heading over to the DELL booth, the ACER booth, and the ASUS booth, we finally settled on an ASUS.

And yeah, just like that, I finally got a laptop. I'm freaking thankful for it. I'm watching TV and using the computer. How cool is that? My birthday is coming, and that's why I got this laptop. I don't just get laptops randomly, hahaha.

Okay, that's it for me. Happy Monday.
