New computer

New computer 18 or so months ago my old trusty laptop died. It was a good spec and fast for being a laptop. The day it died I went out and bought a used one, which was, oh so slow but I didn’t have the money to buy something better. Last week I decided it was time to spend some cash and get myself a new desktop which it super-fast, I can’t believe how speedy it is, something I’ve been missing for the last 18 months or so. It’s an Acer, 3.6GHz quad-core with a 1TB hard drive. Now I can use Photoshop and Lightroom again for photo editing, something that was hard to do on my laptop.

My desktop it six years old, and still works great. I think you get a lot more bang for you buck with a desktop. My last one lasted me 15 years, and I could probably still be using it today. Laptops rarely last so long.

I'm glad that you were able to get something that is a lot faster. It's a bit frustrating when your computer is a bit slow.

I bought a small Acer laptop two years ago because it was on sale and I am very satisfied. I use a desktop to work at home, but I love to bring my little laptop with me if I need to travel.

@kepweng First Acer is not Chinese but it's now an International company and they have headquarters here in Switzerland, exactly in Lugano, 15 miles from where I live.

@kepweng No, it's not Apple. The Acer sold here are made in Europe.

It is always a treat when we get something new, especially when it's a laptop. I remember when I got this one and how fast it was in comparison to older tech! Long TIme No See!

@ScribbledAdNauseum Still knitting, my Etsy and my own website are doing well. Still into photography but I guess with my old laptop being soooooo slow it was hard to do anything with, but now with this computer, I can get back into photography. How are you anyways?

Nice to see your name appearing again. If you are used to a fast speed, a slow one is very annoying.
