It finally came in Friday but I haven't had a lot of time to really get it up and going. Hopefully it is now. I wasn't going to buy one but the one I have been using is quite old and giving me a lot of issues. For some silly reason I ordered a purple one. Now I know it is all mine and I even have a lavender mouse to go with it. I wonder what the next color will be.

Oh, how fun. I hope to get a new laptop this week. I do not know if there are any color options or not. Red and blue, sometimes I have seen pink. Enjoy being here on your beautiful purple laptop.

@ridingbet Did he color his keyboard or bought it that way? I love lots of color. I am working on an afghan that is all different colors. Sure helps brighten up my place.

@JolietJake I tried to do it lightly with a pliers..I should have left it alone as it was going in fine even tho it was bent..well it still goes in but it is harder now..its okay it is working JJ..I wont bother buying a new charger unless I absolutely have to, but dont you hate it when that happens. I have had this little chromebook for 4 yrs now and no problems yet. Thanks.

Purple is good. Have fun with your new laptop. I'm still trying to get mine to work as fast as my desktop. I don't see that happening.

Thanks, Valerie. From what I have heard a laptop doesn't run as fast as a desktop.

@Courtlynn They sure do brighten things up. Kind of like my planters. I wanted some more color in my place and beings I have a lot of plants I added color. I started buying bright planters in different colors and it has made a huge difference here.

It is a HP Stream. It is not real big but it is fast. I like the size and weight cause I get tired of carrying a big one around.

Purple would be a Great color for a laptop and mouse, as that is one of my favorite colors. I need a new one, but right now have to wait. I use my Tablet when I'm not on my computer.

@velvet53 I can relate with that one as that is how my Computer appeared almost 2 yrs ago when it was new. My other one decided to die, and since I do so much on my computer to make money with and from, we really had no choice.

@YrNemo You got me to laughing. I like color and so I thought a brighter colored one would be fun. It isn't a dark color of purple. I get tired of the black ones.

@velvet53 imagine the sale for all the purple, pink or red colors! Men wouldn't go for those pink sale laptops would they. Us females, we are easy going ! Hurrah! (I bought a white one last time for one of my demanding relatives, she was over the moon, thinking she had the best laptop ever!)
