Upgrading is a beach

[Guest]

So I just upgraded my laptop from an ancient Pentium-powered Lifebook to a new, underpowered-yet-well-built Latitude.

I powered it up feeling very pleased with myself and went about uninstalling bloat and downloading and customzing Firefox.

But then I made the mistake of attaching my desktop's monitor as an aditional external display.

The stark difference in brightness gave me whiplash.

Why does the monitor suddenly look so crap? Why does my old keyboard suddenly feel so mushy? What have I done!?

Anyone have similar experiences?

Before you ask, I already had the monitor at max brightness.

Well you did say upgrading was a "beach"

You probably shouldn't be doing computer upgrades on a beach. That water could destroy your components.

Upgrading a beach?

Upgrading on a beach?

Why not?

But seriously whenever I watch 720p videos on YouTube I almost vomit, despite the fact that I used to watch everything in 360p a year ago and be totally fine.

It's just that that's where my best friend Steven Seagull lives and I wanted to show it off to him.
