I was talking to my wife a few weeks back and telling her I wanted a new laptop. It takes me three times as long trying to post things online with a touch screen keyboard with the tablet and I soon will be creating a how-to manual for work so needed a word processor as well. My wife loves surprising me and when I got home today there sat a new laptop HP Pavillion 17-e020dx. I know Scout it,s not a mac but I guess I'm just use to the windows format and decided to stick with it. So posts will become easier now and it may even incline me to get Tales From The Dock Side back up and running now that I can type faster than 3 words per minute.

Nice. There's nothing like a laptop for typing. The iPad is a pain that way. I love my iPad for business trips but I use my laptop at home. I'm not really a Mac guy because I run software at work that is written only for Windows. My laptop is Windows too.

The sad thing is I've been away from the Windows operating system for a few years now and Windows 8 seems pretty crappy to me already. Looks as if they spoofed up the startup screen to make it look all colorful and fancy but most the stuff seems same old same old. I dunno I still know nothing about Windows 8 yet and so it may have a lot of changes I haven't come across yet.

I'm still on Vista at home and Win7 at work. I've had no experience with 8 at all.

Windows 8 sucks! My wifes new laptop runs on it. After spilling beer on my old laptop and breaking it I was in the market for another. REALLY didnt want windows 8 talked to my brother who is a super tech genius and he hooked me up with his old one and a fresh install of windows 7 since he had just recently upgraded.
I have the worst "luck" with laptops seems I cant keep one for more than 2 years.

You would have better luck if you didn't spill beer on them.
