This time it is true! After I found out my friend Chris was keeping his laptop I asked my brother Greg to see if he can find me one. He is the brother who is a computer programer and was able to get a used Toshiba for me! He sent it by UPS and I got it yesterday! I love it! It is so much faster and I will be able to use other places then my computer table! I will keep the table top around for now. Just incase.

Oh blue! Congratulations! You won't know yourself with a laptop. Good idea keeping your desk top as a back up.. It can't hurt and you never know when you might need it.. I hope you don't.

I stopped playing them on my old computer because the games would freeze up or take forever to download,if they did! So I am very happy with my laptop!

Hi blue, Congratulations! I got my laptop used also from the guy that fixes all my computers. It was dirt cheap and I love it! Just a word of advice...don't get rid of the desk top at all. I kept mine stored in a closet and I was so so glad that I did. a couple of times my computer needed work and I was grateful to have the back up. Once a drink got spilled into it and killed the motherboard and that cost over 100.00 to repair. Since then there have been no drinks near it. Well, till the other day. I was packing to move and I momentarily set my coffee cup next to it while I cleared off the entertainment stand. Out of nowhere, in barrels my 2 yr old grandson and crashes into the desk, sending the coffee flying onto the computer. Luckily it was a travel mug and only a small amount got into the keyboard. My computer guy checked it all out and looks like I lucked out this time.

I won't be getting rid of my tabletop. It will be stored away for emergencies! I know now to get drinks away form the computers! One time I spilled water on the keyboard and that was the end of that! I did it again,this time with milk,not long ago and had to get a new keyboard! I have not had any computer problems,except for the keyboards and viruses!

That's great! I'm thinking about a laptop for my next computer. Mine is a dozen years old and probably only has a year or two left in it. I would love to be able to work in front of the television or--although I know it's counterproductive at bedtime--relaxing in bed before I sleep. I could get a lot more done.

Wow! Congratulations! Now you can work anywhere. Ever since I started working online, I am already using my one and only laptop so I am really taking care of it. I don't have my own place at home so I have to work at the kitchen most of the time especially when everyone is still sleeping. I am planning to have my own workplace at home also but as of now it is still a plan. Have a great day blue!

I have my computer desk and that is where I am using my laptop now. I know I can use it while sitting into my recliner but I have not tried that yet! I will get a tote bag so i can take it places in the future! I don't have WiFi yet but maybe someday!

Good for you! And yes, keep the computer table for now. It will be useful for a lot more stuff and not just to "house" a computer. It can be a study table or something to put your stuff and even a permanent spot to put your laptop to when not in use.

The computer table has not only been used for my table top computer. It has always had a plant on it. I always have a kleenex box on the table along with some notebooks and now I keep my laptop there. I don't think I will ever get rid of my computer table.

That's good! it will be so easy to work things done anywhere with the laptop.probably we'll see you around more in myLot. Enjoy!!!! happy lotting

I am getting more done on this laptop! When my tabletop started getting so slow I stopped using it for playing my games and it took so long to down load stuff from the internet! Not anymore! I am very happy with this laptop!
