I got a shiny new computer - I splurged and got a Sony Vaioiaioaioa (sp???) and a lot of people have been saying Windows 8 is pants and I get why it would be for normal laptops and desktops but with the touchscreen laptop I really like it. It makes everything super easy and I think it's mostly made for the touchscreen. (Apparently it has a non-marking screen. Ha! Fingerprints ago-go! I'm assuming they just wipe off or maybe my flatmate just has super greasy sausage fingers).

Basically - I always feel weird buying something new for myself when I have something that still works that carries out the same function. I've had the same television since I was 21. It's hugmungous and it sits on top of a chest of drawers in my room and if I got a flatscreen I would actually be able to put other things on top of my drawers as well (I don't have a lot of surfaces to put things on) but I still resist because the television still works.

The laptop I already had basically has a fritzed connection between the screen and the computer itself, in that the screen will go black if you touch it the wrong way and you have to jiggle it gently for ages to get it to come back. Which basically means I have a glorified desktop because you can't move my laptop around. YET, I still wibbled about getting a new one because it still 'worked'.
