Ok, I exaggerated when I put the title as the whole package. To start off with, I brought this computer because it was on offer. I thought wow how can a computer be so cheap. I was drawn in. I wish I hadn't been now. The only thing I love about it is the stylish little screen that I got with it.
So where do I start on my moaning?
Well as soon you I turned my computer on I thought great it's all set up and ready. I put on the relevant programs that I would use regularly for the internet and turned the computer off. It was a great feeling. I spent so little on what I thought was a great computer and I had set everything up.
Next time I came to use the computer; it just didn't want to know. It was so slow I made myself a sandwich and it still hadn't fully loaded. It finally worked. I was relieved. But oh no the computer sensed my relief and decided that all the programs I was using should freeze. I closed it down, and half an hour later it finally turned off. The computer has got a bit better over the past couple of weeks but it still takes an eternity to turn off. And when you want to go to sleep all you can hear is the computer. It is very loud did I mention? Well it is and I can hear the whooshing noises it makes from downstairs. Saying all of that though, the computer was set up with Microsoft XP home edition so I did not have to upgrade anything. I had access to Napster music or windows media player so I was sorted with the music. If only it didn't take forever to load I would have been happy with those features.
