I looked at alot of laptops coming out lately and the main thing I have seen is upgrading, no further innovation from last year to this year. Laptops are getting more and more powerful but after a while you have to ask the question, are they really using this power? I seen alot of average computer users never fully tap into the power of their technology. So if you are not really utilizing your computer’s full potential is there really no reason for you get another computer when your not really utilizing your old one. I say save your money and stop drinking the cool aid these companies are feeding you.
I feel as though if you really going to get a new computer in which you can really recognize a nice increase in performance (that you actually use) and innovation. You need a computer that solves one of the most common problems that computers are facing, the speed of memory. Even though they are constantly increasing the speed of the CPU, it comes to a point that regardless of fast your CPU is you are going bottleneck your system. Imagine that you are running a track relay you have three people on your team that run real fast but the last runner runs slow as you know what and his name is memory. So if you are going to buy a new laptop I would save wait till the price of solid state drives drop and usb 3.0 comes out.
Solid State Drives
Solid State drives are one of the most needed things to improve speed and battery life on computers. Right now the most popular hard drive to get nowadays are the ones with rpms (revolutions per minute). These hard drives have disc in them that spins to access memory. These hard drives use more power by spinning and if drop can mess up the disc inside of them which can prevent you from access memory on the drive. SSD (Solid States drives) are superior in every way to these drives. They use up to significantly less power and can kick and smack the heck out of it and it will still work. Their main disadvantage thats keeps them from being widely use is cost. The cost for a ssd drive that is 256 GB is approximately over $400.00 compared to the rotary hard drives that are 250 GB might be around $50.00 – $100.00.
USB 3.0
One thing that is continuously happening is the price of external hard drives is continuously dropping but the speed of them are not catching up. As you keep giving people larger and larger access to store terabytes of information the demand to want to transport bigger and bigger files onto the external hard drive will increase. There is firewire 800 which is better than usb 2.0 but you need have special access on your computer to use it. But the most common way people transport information is usb 2.0. Thats when usb 3.0 comes into the picture usb 3.0 will have a big increase in speed. It is 10x faster than usb 2.0 and will be able to really give you the edge you need.

Hi Bro, I’m from germany and really like your blog. This post was great btw
Ok but I have a question: Next month I will be in your country because of my job (car-trader) and I’m looking for sites like http://dimida.de (a big german classified ad for every stuff) to sell my cars and other stuff local. Do you know some sites like this? I know there is ebay but I need more sites, to have more chances in your country! Thank you and best regards 
(in three days I will look for an answer in your blog)
Thanks Everyone for your comments and update this site at least once a month. Ingerose I would say go to http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites. Craigslist is a popular website for selling and buying stuff.

This is one of the best post I found so far. The contents are very good and very informative.I subscribed to your RSS feed by the way!Thanks, this is really cool!
AT&T unquestionably has control of the marketplace with the iPhone and that’s what SHOULD be looked at…not Apple. Do you think Apple genuinely fears whether Google offers Google Voice on its platform…. as long as individuals are purchasing their phones – and they’re buying these life-changing devices! I love mine! The missed calls are one too many (AT&T), but the phone is impressive! One thing I wish it would have is Flash to run videos from particular websites!
I must say, I really enjoy your site. Maybe you could let me know how I can go about subscribing with it? By the way I found this website through Bing.
