* Finished writing and mailing the letters I promised in this post. So if you voted in the poll, and you haven't had a letter yet, it's coming your way. :D

* I also finished with my 'Pay it Forward' presents, and send them off at the beginning of this month. I made bookmarks. I think they look pretty awesome, actually. :'3 I know two of them made ( Read more... )

Wow those bookmarks are ace :P

Didn't realise you were chasing a laptop - I bought one at the start of this year, mines HP and its still working well, it runs photoshop (though I hardly ever use it) along with the general internet surfing, watching video files, playing music etc
~ in short I can recomend HP, though it may depens on the specific's (mainly the processor) you get/need, I have some basic computer knowledge but no nothing of windows 7 :)

Thank you! :D

Well, I just started to seriously look for one this month, so I haven't been looking for long. What kind of HP do you have? *curious*

The model number is FM180EA/G7095EM I think its been discontinued so theres no online information about it.

When I was looking for one I got a mate (who works with computers) to tell me what to keep an eye out for, he said ~ any processor besides celeron (thats a slow one)hard drive of 160gb+ and if I was wanting to run photoshop I needed a RAM of 2gb or higher.

Ah, okay.

Thanks! I'll definitely write that down. :3

Got my letter, and my tea! Sadly I had to go out tonight so haven't tried it out just yet, but it's penciled in for tomorrow ;) and I will definitely let you know! Thanks!!

Glad you got the letter! Curious what you think about the tea. :P You're welcome. :D

Re. laptops - my main advice would be to pay extra for the better battery. I didn't, because I thought I'd mostly be working near a power source, but there have been NUMEROUS times when that hasn't been the case (partly b/c I live in the country and the power goes out a lot, but also just...because!), and it's a total pain to only have 45 minutes or so of battery life.

sillie82 October 24 2009, 02:13:48 UTC

Oh, good one. Thanks for the advice. :D

I got your letter on Thursday - thanks! It really brightened up my day. :-) (And, yes, I am getting to watch the new CSI episodes and so far I really love this season.)

From what I've read, it sounds like Windows 7 is a lot better than Vista, so if you can wait, you probably should. (I was actually planning on doing that myself, but then my old computer died on me so I couldn't. Oh, well.)

sillie82 October 24 2009, 02:15:18 UTC

Awesome, I'm glad you got it and that it could do that for you. Hee, good to know. :3 I've only seen the first episode so far, but I will be catchign up next weekend.

Alright, I think I'll wait and see then. I don't really know what I want to buy yet anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem. :3
