New Computer

My new computer came yesterday! My old one was almost 3 years old, and while it was still in working order, I decided it was time for a new one. Our law school has a zero tolerance policy during exams for technical difficulties, so if your computer freezes and you lose your work 2 hours into an exam, too bad. You don't get to make up the extra time. Knowing that, and knowing how many tics older computers seem to have, I took advantage of an HP sale and bought this new one. It's also 14 inches wide, compared to my old one's 17 inch-wide screen, so the new one is easier to cart around.

People have different preferences when it comes to laptops, and I got a lot of advice to buy a Mac or Dell. But I've had HPs all my life, and they've never given me any problems. I stuck with what I knew worked for me. It'll take a year or so to determine if I made the right choice, so we'll see.

The new one is also a lot prettier than my old one. Look at the cool design! I have to confess, that was a selling point. I am a girl, after all.

You should've gotten a Dell.

How good for HP that you are so loyal. My first laptop was an HP (I had an HP desktop too). The screen fell off long before three years.
Yeah. I got a Dell.
Good luck on exams.
And prom!

Hey, I just bought a new laptop as well. I wanted to make sure I'd have something that could fight it's way through California's three day bar. I went with a Dell.
