Why do I not like a single fucking laptop being sold right now? Seriously, I've been to three stores, I've searched online, I don't like anything I've seen. I just want a power cord on the side of the computer rather than in the middle of the back, a mouse track pad that will respond to my thumb so that I don't have to take my fingers off home row to select anything, and an Intel processor.

Does anyone have a laptop that they love? I've always had Dells, and I've never used a HP that didn't have this problem with the tracking pad; if I change the sensitivity options on my mom's then it jumps around selecting things willy nilly.

This is so frustrating I legitimately think I might cry. I just want a new computer, why is it this hard?

Oh, I don't know why I didn't think of that. I don't usually do Black Friday, but I might keep that in mind. This one is still working for the most part, but it's just you can tell it's getting old. She's a Mac, but I think I'm going back to PC when I eventually get a new one.

I mean, I'd do it in an online sense rather than in store since I don't want to camp out/get trampled, but I feel like that's the cheap time to do it.

Totally. It's a good enough reason to consider it. Computers are so expensive, even when they're cheap.
