Updating my computer setup
I just got got a new computer. The first on I ever bought with my own money. Which is surely a milestone for me.
I needed to buy a new one because the current one is not able to follow performance-wise. Since I will need to use programs that need a better config than what I had. That's why I want to think a bit about my future computer setup, about what do to now that I have 2 computers.
That's why in this post I will present you my laptops and tell you about what I plan to do with them!
Psychetron
This computer is The Psychetron! My trusty laptop that I've been using for more than 5 years now. It was given to me in high-school and it was my first computer ever.
The first three years of it's life it has Windows 10 as an OS. Then Windows 11 came out and Windows kept bullying me into upgrading. But I didn't want to because of security and performance issues. During it's final year the computer was unusable. Then I changed it's OS to Linux mind and now everything is fine!
This laptop is a HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14-dw0xxx. It have an Intel Pentium Silver N5030. It also have 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
In the near future I will surely change this computer OS to OpenBSD. Since I will surely use it only for writing and some light coding. Plus I reaaaally want to test that OS.
IRIS
This is IRIS! The newcomer in our adventure. It arrived yesterday and I'm quite surprised about how it looks. It looks very... Gaming... Well that's fine I'm not too much into looks when it comes to computers anyway.
This fella what shipped with Windows 11 as an OS. So the first thing I did was to boot into the BIOS of the laptop and disable secure boot. Then I pulled up my Ventoy USB stick and booted up Linux Mint. That's better!
This laptop is a Gigabyte Gaming A16 GA6H. It have an i7-13620H. It also have 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
This laptop will be used for school. I will do things like virtualization and simulations. But I will also use it for more creative endeavors. And maybe a little bit of gaming.
I also need to buy a bag to be able to transport it. Because this thing is HEAVY! It almost weight 4 kilos! I don't want to just put that in my bag really.
Here they are! The two computer that I will use from now on!
The new comer opens-up a lot of new possibilities. Now I can use programs that eat up more resources. Like for example for digital drawing. That also mean that I could create videos more easily. I will create cool things with them!
