Reflection 12

What?
Two years ago I recieve an Acer laptop for christmas. Upon recieving it, I plugged it in, and made sure it was fully charged before using it. After just two short weeks of having it, I noticed several glitches. The battery was supposed to last for two hours but only lasted for half an hour. It constantly "dumped" physical memory, and it also had trouble gaining connectivity with free wifi locations.
So what?
After two years of trying to be patient, my motherboard completely fried. Fortunately, the person that was working on my computer knew someone that was recycling their semi-used Gateway computer, therefore I got a new one for free! Having the Gateway for over three months has been a lifesaver. I no longer worry whether something I have saved will be their in the morning. I also have the latest Windows 9 which has made operations on my computer much simpler.
Now What?
Between the two computers, I have seen substantial differences. I feel completely blessed that I have a functional computer that has amazing speakers. I am never, ever going back to ACERs.

  1. Ah - don't you love free computers that save your life?! So great! I think it's really strange that your ACER freaked out like that - I've never heard of that before. It makes me wonder though, if that happened to others? Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
