I bought a new MSI laptop a few months back.


It was very expensive and went wrong twice, so now I have given it back and been refunded.

As a rule I like someone else to suffer the pain of losing lots of money after they have bought new things. So I bought this immaculate laptop second-hand and saved a thousand of them fire starters called GBP's.

It is 8 core running 1 ssd and now 2tb hdd's. I fitted a second 1tb to it as soon as it arrived.

The first thing I do with anything is take it apart, been like that since a child.

Note the empty space, filled it.

It is running 16gb but can take 32gb it seems.

I like fast things.


No matter if it is a bike, car or computer, I like it to work fast.
This has windows 10 installed in Polish. I have no interest in windows or Bill Gates so will put a nice Linux ubuntu studio software on it tonight.
It boots instantly and shuts down the same, just as fast.
I like that, no waiting around for it to boot up.

I like the fact it also has so much processing power I can not even stretch it to the max

SSD is what makes it boot so quick.
8 cores at 3.5ghz also helps. 16 gig of ram does too.
Backlit keyboard is a must for me now and so is 17 inch screen.
For 300 quid or 300 pounds GB (GBP) 1700 zl Polish, it is a real bargain and very well looked after.

I need to switch all my files from two other laptops tonight and store some crypto keys on the second hdd.

Busy night but looking forward to it.

Right after I eat my tea.
Vegans like @northern-tracey look away now :-)

Have a superb night or day where ever you are in the world.

well thanx for tagging me in the non-vegan carnage bleugh
I always buy 2nd hand now, I knew you could customize PC's but never knew you could add mem to a laptop!! Mines an old Lenovo brick and it has some quirks. Need to get round to switching to the old ubuntu too. I left windows 10 just to see what i was like and keep forgetting I hate it.

Download any linux system that you want to try, put it on a usb drive in ISO format and you can try it before installing it tgal. If you need more help shout out and I will try my best. Bacon was laverly :-)
