After searching for computers all summer, I realized within the past month how little I actually know about computers. What I thought the memory was was actually the hard drive, and what I thought was the hard drive was the memory. So I had those two totally mixed up. It turns out that I didn't know anything about processors, the operating system, etc. So I went to different computer stores and asked the opinions of the employees there, and they taught me the basic stuff that I needed and wanted to know in order to get the kind of computer that I wanted. I also tried getting opinions of friends on facebook, but that only confused me more because every one had such a different opinion.
So after a year of not having a personal computer, I finally have one! :) I decided to get an HP because I am familiar with it and it seems like a decent enough of a computer for me. It's an HP ProBook, and it's really nice so far. I am busy setting it up and personalizing it by adding some pictures and music, etc. So far, so good. Now I have a web camera instead of having to attach a separate one which makes me happy. One less thing to worry about.
Now, I'm happy to know this big purchase is behind me. *Sighs in relief*
