I HAVE A LAPTOP!!! I have a laptop! \o/ Wheee :D
It's nothing fancy, just an Acer with a cpu that's not all that amazing, but I hardly ever play computer games, so it doesn't really matter all that much. But I'll have 250 gigs all on my own! And, most important of all, privacy. And the freedom to change my wallpaper as often and however I want to *g*. The only thing that bugs me is the screen resolution :(. I'm used to and like 1024x768 and almost all of the wallpapers that I have saved are fit for that. The Acer's is 1280x800 and looks bad if I try to change it. Plus the icons look too small. Oh, well, don't look a gift laptop in the lj icons, right :P

ETA: I failed to read and vote(only one fic) in ds_match again :[. It ended right when I though I'd start. I'll catch up on the reading at least. GO TEAM WHIMSY!

Yay!! :D Laptops are great. I ♥ mine.

:P

Mine also has 1280 x 800 resolution. It took a bit of getting used to. I had to go into the font and display settings to get the text big enough for me to read. The primary advantage of it is for movies, because they look better with the wider screen. The primary disadvantage is with some games, because you can't run them full screen anymore unless you want distorted images. Since I watch a lot of movies but hardly ever play games, this works out for me.

:)) Yeah, it's pretty cool. Now if I can only finally manage to get the stupid local network properly set up, so I can have internet on it, too, it'd be perfect. *has been trying for two days, grr*
