Disgruntled with my computer.

I have no words of wisdom today; just a grumble.

Remember the new computer I got a few weeks ago? It’s on the fritz; same problem as the previous one. The USB port failed again, and it keeps making that “boop boo buh boop!” noise Windows machines make when you plug something in to the USB port.

I am beginning to think the surface book has a problem with its USB ports, in which case anything they replace this with will have the booping/failed USB port problem. Which makes me upset — I didn’t get a computer for it not to work. 

I hope they can fix this to my satisfaction.

My new computer

So my new computer came in yesterday, and I’ve been playing around with it. This is what I’ve discovered so far:  

  • It’s huge. With a 15-inch screen, fans, and speakers it’s bulky and heavy.
  • It’s fast. Who cares about the bulk when one’s not waiting for everything?
  • There seems like some way to zoom the screen but I can only do it accidentally.
  • The track pad is set off to the left, so I am never where I’m supposed to be, Everything i do ends up to be a right-click.
  • OOH, fast.
  • I haven’t tried the graphics software I want to use with it, because I am still waiting for my educational discount.
  • I have to keep from being distracted by the games. No, I don’t play first shooters. But Microsoft has free hidden object games! And coloring books1
I’ll get a real post up soon, I promise.
