Just Get Me A Pink Laptop

Over the past few days, I’ve been impressed at how you all know what you want when it comes to devices. It’s so cool to read all about processors and blah blah. I’m sure if @depressedfuckup had the chance, he would even give us a lecture.

In all my years on this earth, I’ve never been the one to buy my devices, laptops especially. I’m not oblivious or ignorant when it comes to devices, it’s just that I have these men in my life who happen to have come from the same womb I came from. Yeah and they give me no breathing space when it comes to getting my devices because of something that happened some years back.

The first and last time I went to an electronic shop was about 7 years ago. My brothers were getting me a laptop and after the shop attendant briefed us on the features of the laptops my brothers suggested to choose from, I asked if he could get me a pink laptop. The moment my second brother side eyed me, I knew that was the last time this guy was going to let me follow him to a electronic shop.

In my defense, I had been a boy all my childhood. From wearing Ben 10 watches to using Spiderman bedsheets and carrying batman lunchbox. I didn’t get the chance to be a girl to live that pink life so I felt I had to catch up on what I missed. Anyway, I didn’t get the pink laptop but they bought me Barbie case for my tablet. A win is a win right?

Somehow, I’ve come to rely on them for my devices. I’m used coming home to meet my device waiting for me to the extent that if I were to walk to a phone shop to get a new one, I wouldn’t even know what to look out for. But say hypothetically, I want to get a new phone myself, I’m definitely going for a really great camera. I need a great lens with a 2x zoom out, some serious video stabilization and a night mode for my sunset pictures.

For Laptops, first thing I need to know is the strength of the battery just for the sake of the models I work with. Oh and then the CPU and the RAM and the keyboard arrangement and illumination. The icing on the cake for me is a sensitive screen. Anything to get me away from the clack clack of a keyboard.

I just realized that I don’t give my brothers enough credit for the amazing devices they get for me. Guess what? I’m already feeling tired after talking about just battery health. I can imagine all that they have to go through. Anyway, I really have no interest in finding out what generation of whatever my laptop is. That’s a job for my brothers to do. If it were up to me, I would just go for whatever is pink and girlie.
