resist buying a new laptop and use the current one till it dies (read all 2 entries…)
the ram option 1 week ago

woah. i found out that i could upgrade my laptop RAM memory and double it. i got all the details from the hp site by typing in my laptop s/n and p/n. it gave the exact maximum capacity i could upgrade to and also the specific type and model no for the ram i should get. and of’course hp sell parts online so they have the ram for my laptop in their stock.. and i got an idea how much it would cost. basically it expensive buying for them.

now that i know the details i’ll look somewhere else to get it for less cost. especially when rams are getting cheaper in the market.

getting a ram will atleast increase the speed and performance of my laptop. the current speed is actually good for now, but not good enough for the heavy media programs i’m gonna need on my laptop.

don’t know if it takes any processing heat off the laptop. but i did notice some improvement upon cleaning my registry. i guess a i could do with a few small changes; being cheaper and advisable than to go for a new laptop. and hopefully i’ll run with it for a year or two more:)

need to work with what i have 1 week ago

ok. i actually very much like my current hp laptop. it’s a very strong and sturdy laptop with stable windows xp (i hate vista) and other programs. but recently there has been a overheating problem.. which is annoying cause i already spent some mony on it to repair it 6 months ago. and there problem has started again.

not only that but i wish i had more RAM coz i’m into photography, new media and production. i dont like macs either.. but mac is the best for my field.. editing and stuff. i’m thinking of getting a macbook pro – which would be great for the creative work i do.

but i recently spent on my photography gear. thinking of spending more money on an expensive laptop feels like going for a kill bill rampage (on my own pocket).. i’m feeling guilty and if i think rationally … i could use the workstations in the uni studio for 2010 and 2011.

i somehow need it to at least get this laptop through one more year.. as long as it goes.

so may be i’ll wait till i finish my uni and buy a better future mac notebook when in the end of 2011 or beginning of 2012.. (hope the mayans were wrong and world really doesn’t end)



back up all my music
I wanna shoot iTunes! urrgh! and that computer shop too! 3 months ago

Not so long ago I had some problem with my laptop battery when i went abroad. Gave it for repair to a computer shop. They repaired the battery problem, but also uninstalled my norton antivirus program and installed some other shit, saying there were 200 virus in it. that’s so bullshit because my norton was up-to-date and they must have some monetary interest in installing that shit program.

when i went home. i found out that many of my important programs got deleted because that program was ‘fixing viruses’. and also all of my 30,000 songs i used to play through iTunes got locked files forever.. because iTunes lost some important program files. I have been trying to find solution.. tried everything. no use.

All my music is lost :(

a big lesson for me. now i’ll have to start my collection again, organise it… and this time I WILL BACK UP ALL MY MUSIC on an external device!

i recommend you do them same <-
