Shang's New Computer

[ShangSe]

The day has come. Shang has just bought a new computer.

As I am about to start at a new college in January, I took advantage of a Cyber Monday sale on Amazon as well as some generosity from family members and purchased an ASUS laptop. It was kind of a whim, but it looked better than some of the other prospects I have been looking at. If you are interested here is the link http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-15-6-Inch-Co ... sr=1-5#Ask. I am not a huge fan of Windows 8, so I may end up wiping it if I can find a copy of Windows 7.

But with this new purchase also comes the confusions and hassles of learning a new system and installing "necessary" software. I know there are allot of computer experts around so I thought I would ask for any advice you guys can give.

After I figure out the necessities I will then begin the process of expanding my limited gaming library, hopefully meaning more clan gaming. But until then I say: Good bye ice pack, hello freedom.

Awesome! Welcome to the dark side. It's less hot over here.

NO more ice packs? You won't know what to do There are some tweaks for windows 8 that help and overall it's a stable OS. It is definitely more tablet friendly then Win 7

I honestly don't care about the tablet aspect, I chose it for the storage, ram, HD screen, price and processor. Lol, the tablet is kind of a draw back in my book .

So, with great power, comes great....wait, sorry, I was having a memory of something else. Welcome to the windows world. It's not always sunny, but at least we have a breeze. Get it? See what I did there? Think about it.

Anyway, lets get some gaming on since she is no longer limited by the ice packs.
