What's better to blog about, than your computer that does the acutal blogging?

I have been hesitant to post a blog. I never really had an idea, until now, about how to start out my blog posts. So, since I have acquired a new laptop, I thought a great way to start out my blog, would be to blog about my new and old laptops.



This, is my old laptop. Avery faithful, going on 4 or 5 years old HP. I myself have owned it for almost 4 years. But the time came, not only because of it's age(plus the fact that it runs XP) but because it weighs almost nine pounds(!) and the sound card is atrocious. I saw my sister buy her own new laptop after hers bit the dust, and I decided that it was time I indulged in one as well.



This, is my new Asus. I gotta say, when I was drooling over this baby on the internet, I really felt like I was cheating on my old laptop. Well I had a reason to feel this way. It came standard with Windows 7 (the heavenly chorus sounds) but it also has a TEN HOUR- yes, I'll say it again, TEN HOUR battery life. Do you know how long I can carry it around on campus? lol. Speaking of carrying around, my old laptop weighed in at a whopping 8.8 pounds. I still remember the strain on my shoulder as I drug that thing along the hallways--err, very narrow and crowded hallways-- of my high school. But now, at a dainty 5.5 pounds, almost half the weight! Lets just say, I can hold the laptop with one hand. lol

All in all, I have to say that I love my new computer. And I hope to post many new and interesting blogs with this guy.

As you can see, the size difference is very big. I think my favorite part is the difference in the thickness, it makes it much easier to hold on to. lol
