Upgrading! Good bye, Barry!

I'm taking things a bit more seriously.

The past 4 or 5 videos I've made and edited have driven me nuts. My laptop can't handle the freakishly good content I'm trying to make and it just dies from exhaustion. It's quite upsetting. The poor thing's disk drive no longer works, it's power cable (life line, as I like to call it) resigned a few weeks ago, the keys are falling off and it needs a red bull to wake it up.

I do love my little Toshiba laptop (we'll call him Barry to make things more dramatic). He's been a great friend for more than 4 years. We've had a lot of fun together and I'm glad I've used him to his final breaking point. I'm sorry to see you go Barry but I unfortunately need to move on and find a bigger, more powerful man.

I've been shopping around for different laptops that suit my needs. I am wanting to do a lot of video editing, so I need something that can keep up with that. Almost all of the pro YouTubers use Apple Macs for their videos. I love final cut pro, but I can't justify getting an Apple product just for one piece of software, which I have an equivalent of anyway.

Primary concern, editing videos. Everything beyond this is a want, not quite a necessity. I want to play more video games. Poor, old, Barry can't handle the majority of games, so this would be a pleasurable feature. I have also been thinking of creating a gaming channel on YouTube, where I just record my game play with a bit of commentary. This is a huge want, like a really really really want.

A gaming laptop is high on my list. In fact, I can't really look past a gaming laptop. I want a big, powerful box, that won't cause me any dramas and won't need any inside upgrades for as long as its life span (a bit hard to ask as technology is always advancing) something that will still be top notch in a few years. I am looking at this purchase as an investment. A big investment. I really want to do this.

I'm glad I've written this down. It's like I just justified  buying a new laptop to myself. I am very excited and hopefully it'll be happening sooner than later. I'll be sure to let you know when it does happen!

Thanks for reading!! Baii!!
