omg i'm sooo happy rn. 

ok so the reason why has a story behind it. about 4 years ago i bought a laptop from a friend who dropped it, so it had a cracked screen. i got it for a good price, and i removed the cracked display and used it as a desktop computer for a while because the specs were better than my pc at the time. 

but, when i upgraded my pc i had no use for it so i put it on a shelf. now, 3.5 years later i got a broken laptop from someone who said i could have it. the issue with it was it didn't turn on. but, it did have a 17" display, which is also what the other laptop had. so, today i swapped the display and now i have a fully working laptop again. 

i also repasted it because i remember it getting quite warm. 

now, i have the perfect laptop for me. it has a 1600x900 17" display which is perfect for me because crappy eyes, it has a Core i5 M450 which is enough for what i do, a radeon GPU of some kind which is cool so i can game on the go, and i put 16gb of ram and a 500gb ssd in. 

also it's plastic which is good because that makes it lightweight. 

i'm gonna install Windows and Linux on it now. 

i'm so glad i got it working
