New Laptop.



It's another Acer; a Swift 1. It's slightly smaller and lighter than my previous laptops, but the action, and the picture definition, are superb.

I did lose all my Facebook friends, but maybe that's not such a bad thing. I may even delete my account (if such a thing is possible).

Otherwise, my blog is still here, as is my online newspaper, my weather forecast, YouTube, and a good new photo processing app' to replace the now defunct Picasa 3. I'm not sure what's happened to my Skype account; I will need the help of someone with a mobile phone.

But possibly most importantly, I have swapped Google Chrome for Microsoft Edge; which seems fine.

Yes, I like it.

  1. It looks fine. Edge should pose few problems as it runs on the Chrome platform or so I believe. It has some added features but I haven't tried it yet. Good luck.

    1. Frankly, I haven't yet discovered much difference. As long as it does what I ask of it.....

  2. That all seemed to happen very quickly. It sounds like it does what you want.

  4. I have just had a new Dell laptop Cro - I like it too but it is taking a bit of getting used to. Luckily my son is very computer literate and can instruct me over the phone.

    2. I am puzzled as to why Facebook is no longer the same for you. It should make no difference upon what device you sign in on, except that you will get a message from Facebook saying you have signed in on a new device and is this you. Otherwise there is no transition as such, it is just signing into your account again. I can sign into things anywhere in the world on any device without problem. I imagine Skype should be the same if you have a Skype account.

    3. I expect I just clicked on the wrong thing... I'm allowed one mistake.

  5. I use both and am happy with them. As long as the computer works for me everything is fine.

    1. That's the important thing, as soon as they begin to misbehave I change them. Luckily this only happens every 6-8 years.

  6. I've had my desktop about a year now, my computer man built it himself. It was a painless transition from old to new, he transferred everything over. I find Edge works fine. I did have a problem with posting pictures on a forum, computer man said the fault was at their end because they didn't update their system very often. Now they have and it works fine. Comp man also updated my small Samsung to Edge, that's a bit slow because it's an old machine, but it does what I want it to do when I am away from home.

    1. I was quite worried about losing my old faithful Picasa 3 for processing pictures but the built in system works very well, and is even simpler than Picasa.

  7. I'm always sad when a laptop dies and always excited to set up a new one. I still use Chrome. Had imagined I would continue to do so until / if ever I get a touch screen but documents seem to open automatically in Edge and I find that a bit weird.

    1. Chrome served me very well over the years, I would have been happy to continue with it, but Edge thought otherwise.

  8. You delete FB and don't touch it for two weeks and it is begone. Sixty five of my FB friends are family and the few other people are very close to me.

    1. I had one too, I was very sorry when it failed me.

  11. I have an Acer Aspire ES 15 laptop and I also switched to Microsoft Edge and find it much faster then Chrome! Google is so damned invasive ... it is simply everywhere regardless of what system you use.

    1. It's the real 'big brother', even with my new machine I've had a few surprises. I've just bought some ink cartridges from Amazon, and they mentioned that the order came from a different machine; and was it OK?

  12. It's a full time job keeping control of all this technology. I must say I enjoyed an enhanced screen when I updated my laptop a few years ago. I don't think you can ever get rid of information once it is out on the Internet, like debris out in space, it just keeps orbiting around.

    1. It doesn't worry me, as there's nothing I wish to hide, or be ashamed of. All my info is available to the universe. If I receive the occasional advert' I simply ignore it.
