This is the link to the hp pavilion g4.

This is the hp pavilion g4. It is an amazing laptop at an amazing price. This is not my computer yet, but it will be in a couple of days because I just ordered it yesterday! I have been wanting a new laptop for a long time now, but it has taken me time to buy one because they are a vert big inmvestment. And being a young college student, money is not something I am in abundance of.

My current laptop is a Dell latitude. That is a picture of it on the side. It may not look too bad from the picture, but dont let it fool you. It has horrible graphics and an extremely slow processor. I have had the laptop for about 6 years and I didnt even get it brand new. It was my moms and she handed it down to me. I am not a very big fan of Dells because it is the only brand of desktop computer we have ever had in our house and we have always had problems with them. So when I was shopping around for a new laptop I was determined that I would NOT get a Dell, no matter how cheap they are compared to other computer manufacturers.

I did a lot of research before deciding on the compuuter that I did. I wanted to make sure that I was going to get good quality for the money that I spend and laptop that was going to meet my everyday needs. There are a lot of differences between Dells and HPs, but there is also some similarities. The hp i ordered is an excellent computer compared to my Dell, even compared to other brands new computers out right now. I could put the HP that I ordered up against many top computer brands right now.

The Pace of Technology in My Lifetime

I am currently only 17 years old, but even in my lifetime technology has changed immenseley. New technology is always coming out and some of the inventions amaze me, I never seem to understand how things so little or so thin can do such amazing things. Just when you think something can't get any better they come out with a newer cersion of it.

One of my favorite developers of technology is Apple, I believe that they are much farther advanced than any company out there. Their products do things that I never thought i would see, from a laptop almost as thing as a piece of paper; to a giant iPod that can do everything a computer can. In my opinion Apple raises the bar for all other companies and even in 20 years I dont think that any other company will be on their level. Apple is also coming out with newer and better versions of their products. One month they will come out with an iPod and then 3 months later they will come out with an even thinner one. Their technology simply amazes me. One year after I was born, in 1994, Apple introduced the Power Macintosh, the first of many Apple computers to use IBM's PowerPC processor. Then just 7 years later Apple introduced the iPod. I bet they never imagined that the iPod would grow to be one of the most common accessories in America.

Believe it or not, new technology comes out everyday. I cant even imagine whats to come in the next 10 or 20 years. In the next 10 years we could possible get new types of laptops with amazingly fast speeds and storgae. And in the next 20 years we could possibly get hovercraft cars to drive on the street.
