Why I Will Likely Kill My Laptop This Year
I am pretty sure my issues are all internet related, but weird thing is, it only happens in my house! Our wifi box or whatever the technical term is--can't really think of it at the moment as the rage is running to strong--is downstairs with our desktop and my room is upstairs just slightly over and to the side from where it's at!
Lately is seems everyday it is getting harder and hard to blog, as the tabs I open are taking longer and longer to load. Even when I limit myself to one at a time, it moves sooooo slow! I don't think it's virus related as I do have a virus scanner on my laptop that I run weekly. But it drives me nuts! Especially when I see the icons on my laptop that tell me I have STRONG wifi connection. And then it doesn't move at ALL! WTF?!
I'm not very tech savvy, I can usually figure out a few things on my own, but computers have always baffled me when it comes to connection strength and that jazz. I know my laptop works just dandy when I go to public places with the free wifi. Why I can't get it to work in that way in my own house is another matter entirely.
My plan since last year has been to wait until August of this year for the Tax Free Weekend and buy a new computer then! Deals are usually pretty good then and what with the no state tax I know I can save a pretty bundle!
So if I happen to go dormant at any point between now and August it's because my laptop is being most uncooperative and my patience only runs so far! Not sure if it's the brand as I thought I read a few years ago about Toshiba kind of going downhill. Or something about it anyway and why it's not an ideal computer to own anymore.
What brands of computers do you all use? I know I'd like to stick with PCs, so no Apples for me. All my documents and whatnot would have to take a massive converting because EVERYTHING is through Microsoft Office. And I have had BAD experiences with Dell and Samsung, so I avoid those brands like the plague from here on out. But other than those 3...what is the brand of your laptop--if you use laptops--and how satisfied are you? Trying to figure out what brand to go with, so far I'm leaning towards LG or HP.
