I hate my laptop...

So my laptop sucks.

I obtained it 4 years ago...
The summer before I started USCD, I sat at home many days waiting for the 5 minute load screen for Footman Frenzy! 3.0 to start on my good ol' Sony Vaio. I heard the fans screaming and the room scorching. Yes, my computer was always on the brink exploding every time I played footman frenzy! 3.0. My 512 mb ram and 64mb Video Card were really punished in those 5 minutes of loading.

Sure enough, I still played a lot of Footman Frenzy that summer. The 5 minutes added up. And each and everyone of those hundreds of "5 minutes" I sat and digressed. "You need a new machine fool"....

And so it happened. I found a 40% off 2000$ dell laptop. Came out to be around 1310$. I was stoked. My footman frenzy! 3.0 loaded in 30 seconds. I pwned. I massacred. And all in the comfort of portable awesomeness. A year later my 256mb Video Card blew up. Literally. Kaboom. Torched. My laptop was out of commission, for over 6 months before I found a replacement video card for 150$ with underwhelming qualities such as 128mb only. I was sad, and rage quitted World of Warcraft.

And then, Dota happened.....
