gotta love new toys

Aug 21, 2019 19:19

After much research and waffling, I bought myself a laptop. Ever since the computer shenanigans at the library system last year, when we had the crippling malware attack, I've been leery of logging into personal stuff while at work. Plus, with road trips to Wisconsin and my poor iPad pretty much a glorified movie streamer, I wanted something I could use to read and post that was bigger than my phone. I don't mind reading on my phone but I can't stand typing much more than a few sentences.

So I decided to buy a laptop. And since I was going to do this anyway, I wanted one that could handle some simple games so when I take it with my on road trips, I can also get into Steam. I know, probably not necessary with my Switch BUT if I was going to make an investment, I was going to go for it.

I was also thinking about how the heck I used to watch so many things in the past and it was because when I lived in an apartment, my computer was next to the TV so it was easy to multitask. So I kinda like the idea of having a computer I can bring around with me for when I'm watching movies or TV on my own. Like with my Fraggle Rock rewatches. I've been taking notes the whole time but now I can just live blog my thoughts.

wait stop don't unfriend me! ;-P
