Writing on the Computer
I have been on the hunt for my college laptop the past two weeks. I'm not a gamer so I didn't need fancy graphics. I don't store music on my computer so I don't need loads of storage. What I needed was a laptop that worked with what Carroll wanted and could withstand me hitting the backspace key repetitively in anger.
What I found was that Best Buy (one of the only places I trusted) covered the ITS requirements quite easily. They said they only had two computers that didn't qualify. That helped but, also didn't.
Apparently, it's weird for someone to just want a computer for writing.
So I poked around, did some research and decided it didn't really matter as long as I felt comfortable with it.
Which, I suppose, is like all things with writing. Do it so that it makes you comfortable. If that means a Mac, so be it. If it means, for me, an HP, oh well.
What type of computer do you use for your writing? Do you love it? Hate it? Let me know.

I use an Acer Aspire 5516 laptop. It's not the newest, but I bought it on sale for $300 at Staples last summer. It's not amazing, but it hasn't crashed yet, which I'm happy about.
