Should I Retire My Laptop?
My laptop’s condition lately is being less than I expected. It hangs a lot especially when I use many programs on background. Mind you, I’m using 1GB of RAM so I don’t think not enough physical memory is the problem in this case. My main suspicion lies in the inefficiencies of some of the program. Firefox for example is taking more than a 100MB of physical memory even if I only open 5 tabs. Yahoo Messenger eats more than 40MB even if I put it on idle.
The only thing I can do now is reformat the laptop and reinstall everything back to get a fresh performance from this baby. This of course holds its own problem (just like anyone that’s reinstalling their work PC/laptop), I have to back up most of my installations and my files (which is quite a lot) and re-arrange it after I finish reinstalling.
With the deadline for magazine nearing and deadline for my final paper ending, this is of course a no no. I’m thinking of retiring this laptop and replace it with a brand new MacBook or MacBook Pro (of course I’m paying it by monthly payment, don’t have that much of cash right now). What do you think?
Here she is, the one that serves me faithfully in the last 1 year…
