One Piece of Desire and a Bottle of Dreams

Arrrggghh...its getting to me, its getting to me,...its been almost two months now since my laptop last came on and its really getting to me, I'm missing so much, I'm extremely used to my laptop, there was even a time when my phone was really bad for almost a year, but I wasn't really bothered because I had my laptop where I did most things, be it reading or writing or designing with Photoshop, even minor trading, gaming, name it. 😫

Now I get to do most of all that on my phone and it is becoming extremely inefficient.

While I was using a bad phone, I used to think getting a new phone will solve all my problems because there were times when my hands are itching to write down a thought and my laptop couldn't be accessed because even though it's a laptop, you can't have it everywhere with you like having a mobile phone....you should see me in those days, it was always my laptop and I almost everywhere, it was very awkward and asides the safety risks, there were few unavoidable hits and falls that just kept draining life out of it, mind you, that laptop is over 5years old and I didn't even buy it brand new.

So I got a new phone at some point and a huge burden was lifted off my laptop, it did solve many of my problems, but it didn't solve all, I got to write at a whim, read, curate, try out applications, conveniently contact people and enjoy a bunch of stuff anyone will from a mobile phone while still using my laptop as support for things like running few graphic designs, playing few games, surfing the net, reading-due to larger screen and minor trading. Now that my laptop wouldn't turn on, I can't do all of that support stuff anymore.

Many designs have come in my head and gone because I failed to put them down instantly, especially these moments where Hive needs all the designs it can get, I could really be flexing my creative muscles there, playing Splinterlands hasn't also been as fun on my mobile phone as it used to be on my laptop even though the Splinterlands mobile version keeps getting better, I doubt it can ever beat playing it on a wide screen.

If I'm getting a new laptop, scratch that, I'm getting a new laptop, things I'm particularly considering as important is a high graphics processing laptop, a GPU precisely, I need to take my designing up a notch and it needs high processing graphics softwares, I had adobe after effects on my old laptop but it hangs, I also had adobe premier pro for video editing which I once had massive interest in, but couldn't explore because it was too heavy for my processor, I also had adobe illustrator, but it couldn't load as well because it was heavy, this was way back in 2016/17, I need to be above those limits, this is 2020, you get me.

I'm also considering a GPU because I still intend to go deep into mining, and I've read about a lot of projects in the past where I could actually mine crypto using good GPU's and I know it won't make me rich, don't worry you don't have to tell me that. I know @acidyo does mine or used to, but I think he has a proper mining rig he built, maybe he can shed a light here, eventually I plan to learn to build mine too, one weekend with @acidyo is enough to prop me up considering I'm a fast learner.

Then gaming ofcourse. I'm getting a high graphics processing computer for gaming, I should really be live streaming my gaming right now, I could be doing tutorials, walkthroughs on C.O.D, Splinterlands, Blackops, FarCry, name it, there are a ton of adventure games out there I'm missing out on. Imagine me having an Alienware or even something better!!! That would more than amazing, more than awesome.

I'm just so done with CPU's please, when I see a friend using his GPU for running only applications like microsoft word or football manager, it brings tears to my eyes, only if he knew. Anyway I'm writing this post so that when I get a new laptop I can remind myself of this state and all the things I'm itching to do with a laptop just in case I get carried away.

Pardon my manners, good morning, afternoon, evening and good night. Hope you're good today.

About my old laptop, its hard to tell what's wrong because I don't have the tools to take it apart and I can't take it to a repairer till lockdown is over, thanks for asking.

If you read this this post from the beginning, thank you from my heart.

I'm hoping to get a laptop as well soon. I should have gotten one if not for this pandemic. My mobile phone is quite sufficient although it has its limitations. The thing is getting a decent laptop is quite expensive.

You will get that new laptop but maybe the desktop is better , we might be home for a while. Imagine you can build your own desktop right ? I think that’s the way to go. High specs from the get go, the phone goes on the Road.

Truth be told, that's a fantastic one, I once read a post from someone here who built his p.c from ground up, gosh it felt amazing,...it will make a lot of sense if i could do that actually...I've once worked in a computer assembling factory, its not that hard....given the right materials

I think you can do it, a few YouTube vids and the knowledge you already have. ( would make great content too). A laptop is hard to upgrade, but a desktop you can upgrade bit by bit keeping up with the increasing spec needs.

Ps: I need a new phone 😂

If I can get my hands on the materials I honestly will love to give it a try.

Hehe....what kind of phone do you have in mind? Are you an android person or a IOS?

Well I’ve been using iOS for too long to switch. But I wouldn’t mind having both. I may just go for an SE

Getting a laptop like that will cost your left hand and one testicle. The mining part interests me though; you'd turn your system into a money making machine and in the long run, it'll pay for itself.

Loool...naaa are you kidding me, my left testicle has to be worth over 1k$, left hand like 150k naira lool....

But i checked amazon for a few and saw ones that were very much below 1k$...

You see that mining part, is the missing part of me lol...

What's the price range? and what else is needed to mine other than a bad ass computer?

I saw few below 1k$ on amazon, then I also saw some worth 3k$, they were very satisfying to look at.

Other things needed are electricity and internet connection, which I think could be worked around with solar panels or inverter. Also i recently heard of an internet plan that offers 9k per month for unlimited sub.

The laptop is a one time payment, so once that's out of the way, the main issue is the recurrent electricity and internet bill. At Kaduna, I get light for 70% of my day on average, and 9k for unlimited sounds like a sweet deal. I spend like 5k for 30GB on MTN and e no dey reach anywhere
