Treating Myself To A New Laptop - The Perfect Laptop For Students and Bloggers

I'm the type of person who never treats myself to something even remotely expensive, ever, but for a long time now I knew that I was in need of a new laptop. My old one, which I'd had since 2012, started being incredibly slow and was playing up, as well as being really clunky with a practically nonexistent battery life that made working on-the-go virtually impossible. After struggling through GCSEs and A Levels with it, constantly worrying that it was going to die on me and thus I'd lose all of my revision, I started university both in fear that it'd give up on me with no warning and desiring a new one. After saving up and also having some help from my mum, which I really appreciate, I decided to go out on a whim and purchase it, and I have to say that I'm more than pleased with it. Albeit a slightly different post, I thought I'd talk to you a bit more about my new laptop and why it was the perfect one for me.

Although they always say don't judge a book by its cover, looks are the perfect place to start with this laptop. The HP Pavilion 14-ce0597sa is the epitome of me in a laptop - it's white and rose gold! Yes, this may be slightly superficial or unnecessary, but if I was going to be spending a lot of money on a laptop then I wanted one that I loved, and appearance definitely played a factor in that. You have to admit, it really is dreamy isn't it, being a gorgeous item that pretty much coordinates with all of my uni room, and is a lot nicer looking than my old, now dirtied and worn laptop.

Another main factor that made me want to get this laptop was for the portability, which was a huge issue with my old one. Not only did it weigh a ton (and I seriously mean that, it's a lot heavier than other laptops), but it also had a battery life that didn't really exceed an hour and a half, meaning I was pretty much limited when working away from home to somewhere that had an accessible plug socket and wasn't too far as carrying my laptop was a burden. My new laptop promises a lot longer battery life, being up to 11 hours, meaning I no longer feel like I'm attached to wires, and it's also incredibly lighter and easier to carry around with me, which is perfect as I do quite a lot of work in my free time from the college library.

Other things that I've really fallen in love with about this laptop are:
* Having Windows 10 - my old laptop wouldn't update past Windows 8 and so I was stuck using that, which began to feel quite outdated and hard to use, but having Windows 10 really is a dream
* High speed - gone are the days of waiting ages for Microsoft Word to load, or programs glitching loads whilst I'm trying to use them, and I couldn't be happier
* Ease of typing - don't get me wrong, my old laptop was fairly easy to type on, but this laptop brings in a whole new sense of effortless as it's incredibly quick and smooth to type

Already, after only having this laptop for a couple of weeks, it's made a huge difference in my day-to-day life. For one, I can type up my notes in lectures instead of writing them by hand and then typing them up at a later date, which saves so much time and also, since I'm much quicker at typing than I am writing, I can get more notes down. It's also meant that I'm not restricted to where I can work and can do uni work from a much comfier and convenient location opposed to always having to seek out plug sockets or the old library computers. It's also so much easier to blog with, and having a new laptop has really motivated me to put more effort into my blog, hence why I'm now uploading three times a week - every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday!

I hope you liked this blog post, despite it being different to what I'd normally upload, and if you're looking to buy a new laptop then I'd highly recommend the HP Pavilion 14-ce0597sa, as it fits all of my needs! If you don't already know, I've started blogging three times a week, so you can catch a new post every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evening here on Daisies and Delights, so make sure you check back then!
