So, I saw a computer that was an awesome deal, and my mom surprised me with it:
Yaaay! It's 8GB RAM, 1TB hardrive, so I was pumped to upgrade from 6GB and 500GB. My three-year old HP has been nothing but problems, yet it's awesome at the same time. I don't know how to explain, but it's love hate hate hate, I suppose.
The frame around the screen nearly came off when I removed the protector. Should have been a sign lol (good ol' HP). It's a really nice computer, really. But omg, Windows 8. Omg. And, lucky me, this doesn't have Windows 8 Pro, so it will cost me to downgrade. I immedately disabled the "iPhone-like" touchpad (zoom in and out with two fingers), because it made scrolling way hard. It's also not quite as nice a model as my old computer. But it *is* a great computer. And unlike my old one, it doesn't sound like an overheating jet engine or, at best, a lawmower. The new one runs really well, stays cool, and is crazy fast. I still don't know if I'll keep it or not, just because my old one has some awesome stuffs I'm so used to. My dad asked how I liked it, and I told him the new computer is like a new Camry, let's say, and my old one is a 10-year old Mercedes. I had both of my parents mess around with the new one, and they seem to agree. I'm still not sure (so throw opinions my way!). I'm so used to this old roaring monster:
Can you hear the fan whirlling from there?
This one has a remote, Blu-Ray, and touch buttons for the volume, play, pause, etc.. I like the volume settings that way much better. And the keyboard is normal, whereas the new one has, I forget what they're called, but the keys are shallow...which I guess is better. But it's different. We all know how I feel about different XD . But, this old guy is really no longer a laptop, as I have to have it hooked up to my external harddrive and an external fan all the time or it'll blow.
Anywho, even though I still have to do my answers blog to the questions you guys were nice enough to ask, I guess I just wanted to babble about this here since I'm trying to decide if I wanna keep the new puppy or not. Feel free to tell me what you think I should do/if you hate Windows 8 etc. 
...Did I just make a blog without Zelda stuff?! Ha! Wait, the background on my computer. Ah, so close.
