News from Happy Family Time land!

[nausicaa83]

My friends, I bring joyous news. With the help of my oldest cousin, her boyfriend, and my aunt, I finally decided to buy a laptop! Look at this beauty:



I called it Sherlock (because it's black and it's pretty and it's the first name that came to mind when I first held it in my arms), it has Windows 8, which is surprisingly easy to use, and I'm in the middle of downloading every program I can think of. And it is so fast! *happy little dance*

In short, I'm having a great time here. A few minutes ago it was snowing too, and we even got a "Merry Christmas" from a cashier at the supermarket. This weather is so confusing. :D

More pictures to follow! ;)

*Congrats* It looks great. Love your enthusiasm!

That's too bad about the snow. It's finally getting warm here (Here being the capital of Canada; a balmy 12C!)

Sherlock!!! :D He looks great!
I don´t know what to think about Windows 8 - it looks very confusing to me o.O

Beeeelllo! La prossima settimana pure io ordinerò il macbook nuovo, perché il mio iMac sta tirando il gambino, quindi mi unisco all'entusiasmo! XD

Bello il tuo nuovo portatile! Ti dirò, io non amo molto Windows 8 perché è un sistema operativo che è nato per gli smartphone e poi è stato adattato (non benissimo) per i computer normali, ma se non ci devi fare cose strane va benissimo lo stesso. Io in ufficio ho Windows 7, che è velocissimo e molto intuitivo, mentre a casa ho ancora un vecchio PC con XP, che finora mi va ancora bene. ^^;

Piccolo consiglio per l'antivirus: spero che non ci sia montato Norton, che rallenta un casino il computer perché si ostina a fare mille cose in background anche quando non dovrebbe. Se puoi scegliere, meglio installare AVG free, che è più leggero e decisamente meno fastidioso. ;)

Okay, as you can see I've finally got time to be a normal person, commenting all over the place, so TELL ME ALL! I love laptops and this sort of thing, I run amok in electronics shops. (I'm soon to buy a new TV, leaving my old, trusted 37 flatscreen to my mother, so I'm too excited for words. Let me just say: 3D!\o/) I want to know everything about Sherlock: RAM, processor, screen! By the way, good choice on the brand. I have a friend who knows an awful lot about laptops and I know from him that ASUS are a truly awesome brand. I think I'll be due for my third laptop at the end of this year (I bought my first one in 2005 and never looked back.) and I'll probably go for ASUS as well. Like you it'll be a jump from XP to 8, but your post puts me at ease that I'll personalize it to my liking.

Oh, I forgot - CONGRATULAAAATIONS!
