Playing With My New Laptop

I started typing this way back in November but forgot to finish it. Woops!

Soo for black friday my mom generously bought me a laptop as an early christmas present! Spoiled I know. Much love to her. It's an HP dv6, 15.6" Screen, Intel core i3 processor 2.4 ghz (I think), 500 gb hdd 5400 rpm, 4gb RAM, ati Radeon 5650 (supposedly capable of running Crysis on medium-low), has a webcam that I don't know how to use O_o and other shtuff.

Back in high school I was totally against laptops because I felt that there was no point in having them when one could just get a superior desktop computer for the same price. As college came around, I noticed that SOO many people had laptops, and that I was always waiting in line to use the computers upstairs in the library with the other people who didn't have laptops. Midway through my first semester, I felt like it was almost imperative that I get a laptop of my own. Not just because everyone else had one, but because it was going to be THAT convenient. My mom was originally going to buy me one for christmas, but being chinese just like me, she had to hop on one of them black friday deals.

As soon as I got the laptop, I put starcraft 2 and minecraft on it! Starcraft is capable of running smoothly on low and medium-ish, but minecraft only gets like 30 fps on the lowest quality possible and it's really annoying.. Oh well, I still love my new laptop. What sucks the most is that the internet at school is kind of slow. Is it because so many other students are using it? I dunno.. But whenever I go onto starcraft at school, it says "waiting for server" and my opponents whine and cry about my lag. But hey, I would too if my opponent was lagging too. I can't even play against AI's without lagging out. The only times I successfully played starcraft at school without lag was in the evening. Maybe because less people are there using the internet? Does the number of people connecting to a wireless connection really affect the speed of it? I dunno.

So far I've tried using the webcam once, but the other person said it was blurry and I couldn't figure out how to adjust it..
The battery on my laptop only lasts 3 hours and will last a fraction of that if I'm playing starcraft, but it's not too big of a deal. Instead of standing in line for a computer at school, it's almost as if I'm standing in line for an electrical outlet instead now haha.

And so far, I haven't had any regrets about my laptop. It's so convenient!!! Thanks mommy!

EDIT: Okay I took pictures! It's actually like a dark-ish navy blue-ish. You can barely tell. Especially on the second picture where everything looks black. Bad lighting I guess because the entire inside part is also that dark navy blue color.
