So I overly embraced the Christmas spirit and the spirit of giving with what I gave my friends. Not much really but I gave out chocolate to some people. So things were going good last night until my laptop hinge, the one that was left, snaps and my screen falls backward. Then tonight while using my laptop I have a skewer in to support it and what I have the laptop on is nudged so the screen shoots back and a chord rips out. Turns out that chord was needed for internet so I need a new one. I don't have money just laying around to spend but I went to discover and looked up the credit that we have with them and I can get about 300 bucks to spend on a laptop. Added to a check of 150 bucks that I got from my grandfather for my birthday 2 months ago that I've been saving I have 450 to spend. Anything else is covered by my parents because I cleaned up the front and backyards. So, anyways, I'm browsing on Dell for a computer and due to it being the end of the month there's no customizability. I wanted to get a computer with 6GB of RAM and an I5 Processor along with Windows 8 and I can't find anything cheaper than 750 bucks. I look for a Windows 7 one with the same processor and RAM and the only one there is an alienware that's 1000$. If it were the beginning of the month I would have gotten everything that I wanted on it because my fucked up laptop cost me 660$ and had an I5 along with 6GB of RAM. So I went to Staples, where I could get 325$ to spend and found a nice acer that would only cost 580$. Had my specifications and everything, best part of all it has a numpad also. I cannot stress how important a numpad is to me on a laptop. So now I have to backup all of my music and any game save files I want on my external hardrive.
