Greetings fellow Gamespotters! I hope you're surviving the dog days of summer!8) As I mentioned in my previous blog, I got a laptop. It's my first computer that is 100% mine and we mainly got it for school papers and whatnot, but its uses expand far beyond that. It's a Toshiba A665 and it's now the most powerful computer in the house (with two other computers). I ultimately got it as a birthday/early Christmas/good grades present and we decided to get a more powerful laptop from the beginning so it doesn't become obsolete as fast as more basic laptops (which happens a lot these days). I was impressed that it could run most of my games quite well (mostly Valve games) and I'm impressed by how easy and effective Windows 7 is. I grew up on Windows XP and 7 feels like a close sibling to it. It also has a built in webcam, mic, and Blu-Ray player although I'm not going to buy movies for just a laptop. The speakers are also quite good. All in all, this is a great computer and it looks like it's going to last me quite a while! See you next time!:)
