Tech Talk: I need a change with my laptop.

It is a bit sad that my good old Asus laptop decided to bail on me the night before I have my database lab which is weeks ago and trust me, being a computer science student living the day without laptop is like going through the day without any meals. Yes, it is that depressive. My Asus has always been there for me but changes must be done in order for me to survive my IT course. A laptop with just Intel Pentium Inside processor is waiting to die, it was just a matter of time.

I've been wanting to change my laptop with a much powerful processor and I have been thinking of changing the processor(which is impossible, do not try to change the processor) and getting a new one with a much better processor.

Since I am using the laptop for programming, debugging codes and a lot of assignments, I've decided that an Intel Inside Core i5 processor will do just the trick. I know that i7 is much powerful but I am thinking what a wastage of processor I would be since I am not a heavy user at all. I just use laptop for doing a bit of my work and watch movies on it.

I NEED A REPLACEMENT ASAP and here it is!


So I've decided to go with HP 14-AC115TX with Intel Core i5 5200U, 1TB SATA HDD and 8 GB DDR3 RAM with a AMD Radeon R5 M330 graphic card. Basically I was really hyped when I saw it for the first time since most of the laptop that I surveyed only use 4 GB DDR3 RAM for an i5 processor. 



Been using it for awhile now and I am pretty satisfied with it. A good laptop for a computer science student just like me. The fact that this laptop comes with Windows 10 installed on it is just another bonus. I've been using Windows 8.1 and I am still confused but as for now, Windows 10 is definitely a user friendly kind of OS. 

And most of my coursemate are getting new laptop as well so basically I am not alone haha.
