I've got a new laptop

I've been and treated myself to a new laptop, don't ask me exactly what it is because I don't know. I do know it's made by hp and has some sort of fast processor and an 8MG memory ....... oh and it also has a web cam and a long battery life (just can't remember how long it is until I get it home later on) It's at the store as I have gone for a package where they put all the stuff on it that I want on it and because I'm a technophobe I thought it was wisest. It did have £180 off in the sale and they then offered to chuck in a new case and told me to choose one so I did, I always seem to pick the most expensive thing without looking at the price so instead of a £14.99 case I managed to get a very pretty girly cream one with black scrolling pattern that was £34.99 . At the moment I use a couple of laptops because one has a bit of damage but has some great programmes on it and fantastic memory but the other is a bit faster yet has a rubbish memory ........ a bit like me at the moment

I may be a bit busy getting to know it, but it is mine and mine alone and only the stuff I choose to put on there will be on there. Everyone else can use this one as they already do when they come to visit but no one is using my new one except me

i have a webcam also nudge nudge wink wink hope all the programs you like will work on it i have one i like that wont work on vista or seven and an A3 printer that will only work on xp

If they won't work on the new one I can still use them on the old ones

they're putting Skype on it for me Mike

Here it is, see I know nothing about computers, its 8GB not 8MG

Nice that should cope with the forum

We only went out to get a new bread bin and we came back without one

They've telephoned and it's ready so off to pick it up now

great news Helen - and make sure you do keep it to yourself! mine was lovely when new but everytime the children visit and use it it seems to be even slower afterwards.

Agreed, keep it for yourself and enjoy. Will it go camping with you?

We've recently upgraded from a netbook to a proper big computer, it's well quick compared to the netbook, but of course not as portable. I'm using loads more data due to the speed, because I can look at more stuff in the same time.

It's lovely not to have to wait ages for you tube clips to load. We're getting very modern.

Well what's the latest

I Love it, it's so much faster than the others and it's simple to use too

And it's mine

your sounding so giddy Helen, dont let anyone touch it,
have fun,

I too know nothing about computers but it looks pretty

congratulations Helen

No one has laid a finger on it except me

When I have finished using it I put it back in it's bag and out of the way. When the kids come around or my mum wants to surf ebay for knitting wool I get the old laptop out and they use that.

I am very giddy about my new laptop still, I enjoy using it and when I used the old one for a few minutes yesterday (daughter was here and using it) I found that it felt all wrong and was surprised at how slow it really was.

I love the fact that my battery actually works and I can use this without having to use the power lead.
