Laptop Questions
I went out before my trip north this summer to visit my dad and I bought a cheap laptop computer. It’s an HP and it does the job, but it’s weak when it comes to gaming or other programs that might take a lot of power. I was looking at my dad’s Sony Vaio and wondering if I should have shelled out just a little more money for something more powerful. I waver on that issue. I like that I was able to walk out of the store with a laptop for right around $300 – one that cost so little that I skipped the extended warranty and just told myself I would replace the thing if anything happened to it. I like that it cost so little that I do not get nervous about my 6-year-old who is sitting on the bed playing with the laptop as I sit over here on the desktop PC.
Do I dare to load Photoshop on my laptop, though? It would probably buck and scream and start to smoke. I am pretty sure the district will not be giving me a computer when I get a teaching job (unlike Pasco County), so I will probably be taking the cheap HP to school with me. I won’t be too concerned with damage or theft, but will it do the job if I need to load a lot of new software?
