My Computer and Future Computers

Hello readers (empty seats covered in dust), today I'm just going to talk about when my computer was purchased, and it's specs and various other things.

First I'll start with my system specs:

Manufacturer: Gateway

Model: MD2419U

Processor: AMD Anthlon (tm) X2 Dual-Core QL65 2.10 GHz

RAM: 3 GB (2.75 GB Useable)

System: 64-Bit with Windows 7 Home Premium

So overall it isn't a bad computer, but it isn't super great either. A few months ago I was considering purchasing some RAM but My laptops capacity is only 4 GB so it wasn't worth it. I'm hoping to purchase a new laptop within the next year or two and I've already found another Gateway I like but it's too soon to buy and newer models will release so I have no idea what i'll end up with. I will either purchase a Gateway or an HP, again too soon to tell though.

Now when did I get my laptop? Well honestly this upcoming Christmas will be it's fourth birthday, yep 4 years old (so old). I'm surprised it still runs okay and hasn't died on me (I'm actually very thankful for that). There has been numerous times where my laptop has overheated and shutoff (probably close to like 50 or over 50) but it still works and I hope it doesn't die any time soon. 

I have a friend who builds PC’s and he promises to build me one someday ( not anytime soon) but he has been very helpful in helping me view laptops and showing me what to look for. Currently he was showing me a really good deal on an ASUS but sadly I won’t be able to purchase it. I’m searching for something with the minimum of 6 GB RAM and a processor greater than 2.10 GHz and has a DVD drive. If I can find something less than $600 and has those then I’ll be happy. I’m not looking for a very powerful laptop because I feel in 5 years or so I will get a custom built PC and it’ll be great. For now I am just looking for a current upgrade from my current laptop. I could probably push and get one for Christmas but currently I’m really poor and am barely affording college so it probably wouldn’t be wise if I bought a ‘want’ before a ‘need’.

Ultimately this ties into why this blog was created. I could really use money and if I can partner my youtube account then I can save up and use the money for my channel or to help pay off college. However that’s the problem, I want to partner my youtube account and not my blog. I believe I did something wrong while signing up for adsense but if I can get this blog approved I can get my account approved and then I’ll be able to link it to my youtube account. However I keep getting denied but I’ll continue this information in tomorrows blog.

If you read everything than I thank you very much for taking the time out of your day or night to do so! Bye for now!
