Computer bullshit; rant angrily about how your $700 laptops can't GO FAST

So, as you may know, my current laptop is a piece of shit. It's apparently made of paper, since the screen separated from the hinges that you have to flip up to open the screen, but it's thankfully still connected to the keyboard thanks to this one thick wire. Some wire probably having to do with my wireless connection snapped also, since my DSL hasn't changed at all but my internet connection is now crap in an empty box of Triscuts. It's still slowly deteriorating still, so I'm not sure how much longer it'll last. However, I found out today about a perfect solution to my problems.

I have $100 of Christmas money left, which is actually much more than enough to get me a new computer. There are these things called Raspberry Pi's, which are basically computers about the size of a credit card that only have a cheap plastic casing. They can hook up to an HD TV, which I have. I also have everything else I need for a fully functioning computer, except maybe speakers. (I only remembered I'd need those now, so I'll probably see if I have any after this post) And the best part is that, due to the small size, I can get it for $35. Hell, the one without internet connection is ten dollars cheaper. It's also apparently pretty good for games, and can still manage the internet decently.

So I'll probably get a Raspberry Pi, then wait until Christmas to either get a smartphone or some kind of netbook or something.

But yeah, you can complain aboot your computers here too.

Also, apparently you actually have to buy a case for it separate (they're only like ten or twenty dollars, but it isn't actually) and an SD card. It's technically supposed to be used for programming, but hey I'll probably be able to make it work until Christmas, where I'll actually probably get this laptop repaired. In fact, that might actually be what I'll do with the $100, should it be within price range. And if not, I can always sell my Wii U...
