However, it has been about 3 and 1/2 years since I bought Pugyuu, and technology has obviously made quite the advancement in computer specs. Lappy was about 3 years old when I decided to get Pugyuu due to the advancement on modern expectation of technology and the limits to Lappy's specifications grew a large gap that kept me from certain activities. I worry that Pugyuu's specs may not meet the requirements for what may come in the future. It seems like a good number of my friends will be playing Guild Wars 2, and others may also want me to join them in Diablo III. I'm not too concerned about whether if Pugyuu can handle these games, but as technology continues to grow, there will come a time when Pugyuu may not bring satisfactory results.
... And the eye-opening revelation is already on its way.

Due to this, I ended up helping Vicki with research on what replacement laptop would be good for her. Her requirements were something that can play modern games, can handle her ridiculous tab-abuse on her FireFox browser, and that it isn't too big that it would be a pain to carry around for portability, while not being too small either with a small screen. The size limitation really reduces the number of viable laptops that meet her standards, since most gaming laptops tend to be larger to handle the better processors and graphics cards available, while also dissipating heat effectively. Newegg.com failed to find any laptops that Vicki really liked, unfortunately. So I decided to look at brands that handled gaming laptops in particular.
I checked two sites in particular.
- http://www.razerzone.com/ - Which I learned about from League of Legends.
- http://www.alienware.com/ - and this site, which is widely known already as it is.
I have no intention of replacing Pugyuu any time soon, but I worry about when I'll need to, and if so, what laptop would be best for me in the future. Especially since I am considering moving on to more advanced activities like video editing, recording gameplay using Fraps, and other things that may require higher-end software and specs that can handle them. I'm sure this blog may see more growth and popularity if I can create (decent to maybe good) videos to post here as well.
... I guess I should really be looking into getting something to record higher quality videos with right now though. A 3.0 Mega Pixel camera phone is far from acceptable quality. I think I have many good reasons for why I should upgrade to a Droid RAZR, especially since it's only a penny on Amazon Wireless now...
