So even though it's bigger, faster and shinier than the old laptop it was supposed to replace it's been relegated to bedroom duties hooked to the TV as a wifi link so I can watch the downloaded content from my tower at the other end of the house, and the old laptop is still in service.....and works just fine on Windows 7.
Windows 8.1....geez I hate that.

funny you should say that.......Nanna smurfs computer is a Toshiba Laptop, running an intel core I7 chip with windows 8.1.
I think 8.1 was developed for a "touchscreen", I don't know, I just find it difficult to navigate, horrible and slow to use.
Mac is more intuitive and easy to navigate........way faster
any family member that uses my Mac swears their next computer will be a Mac after years of windows.
I'm far from a computer guru, my greatest achievement has been upgrading ram, replacing a hard drive, replacing a video card in a tower and adding an extra dvd burner to that same tower.........
that computer, now sitting under my desk, which started out as "Godzilla", sold through an Adelaide based computer building retail store,, easily found in the paper, was my absolute favourite computer, it was a beauty until dust blew the motherboard even though I was running 3 internal cooling fans.
I only had that for 3 years, I cant keep them alive............I REALY HATE THAT.
