shitty

over the weekend i went to the pc show and got myself a new asus laptop. i spent just under $2000 on it and it seems reasonable for the specs.

i then spent the rest of the weekend getting absolutely pissed off with it. maybe i've raised my expectations too high, but a brand new laptop should not be this slow and shitty.

i don't know if it's the normal standard of the new windows 7 (which is a piece of shit as well) because the most advanced system i've ever used was the good old xp.

it takes forever to start up or shut down, and even opening the 'my computer' page could load for minutes. some of the things like the volume control buttons only work once in a while.

what in the world have i gotten myself into? i was expecting some trouble getting used to the new laptop but this is just... is it really normal to be this shitty?

i should get someone who knows to take a look at it, or just send it back to asus and ask them wtf is wrong with this damn thing. argh.

aside from the laptop, many of the new versions of programs are fucking shit too. the new windows media player is one, absolutely annoying to use. the new msn messenger removed the nickname function WTF?
