So I had some friends of mine that said they wanted to take me out for lunch. They haven't ever had kids and I am very similar to the husband and I guess they spoil me because I was the kid they never had. They have graciously provided me with the laptop I currently have (in short a 17 inch HP Windows 7 machine), Samsung Galaxy Note tablet with keyboard, a Windows Phone 8, and an Android mp3 player. All because they want to. They love giving me this stuff. Also they have provided me with accessories for all of the above (including Microsoft Office).
They took me wherever I wanted to go and they said to make it nice. So I thought that Red Robin was a good, nice, slightly more expensive meal that was respectable. Then after we ate they took me to Best Buy and said "We aren't leaving till you have a Christmas Gift" and then told me to pick whatever I wanted. I was so surprised! I had no idea what to get! My friend and fellow classmate from College works at this particular Best Buy and he helped me narrow stuff down. I ended up walking out of there with a brand new Windows 8 machine! The specs are...
Asus Q550L
15.6 " LCD Screen
Windows 8 (64-Bit) (Currently updating to 8.1 right now)
Intel Core i7-4500U CPU @ 1.80 GHz 2.40 GHz
8 GB of Ram
1 TB Hard Drive
And that's it. This gift took me completely off guard and I am so thankful for it! Thank you so much Jerry and Phyllis!
This will be my main machine for now and my old laptop (The other one they bought about a year and a half ago) will be my Simulator computer running both FSX and X-Plane (and of course movies and stuff)
I am still in shock that I got a brand new computer today!
