I received new Laptop this 2026

February 8, 2026 8:33am CST
It started with mom's weird question this afternoon about laptop being a computer or not. I didn't bother with it until I received a message from my brother inquiring about what specs I want to a laptop. I just answered him that I want the one that can bring back old pc games. It became very clear that they really planned to buy me a laptop. I wasn't really excited because It wasn't the brand I wanted but who am I to complain. I really need a new one and retire the old Dell. After doing my brother doing tech stuff about Microsoft applications. I'm already using it. Maybe this time I won't install games in this laptop so it will last longer.

You could still play games on it but don't play for hours and hours. Making a laptop overheat is what can cause damage to components and reduce the lifespan of the laptop. I'm glad you've got a new laptop. Congratulations!

DaddyEvil Unfortunately, even after ten years I still don't know how to install games. Maybe not on this laptop since it's not like my old DELL.

@DaddyEvil I am not really comfortable with ASUS since my mom had similar brand and went slow after a few years due to lesser use.

@Letranknight2015 You treat the new laptop just like you did your Dell. Games should install just the same.

Laptop are also being a computer, but they are smaller in size and the new laptop I saw can use PCI-E like PC in general. Congratulations on your new laptop!
