As Chinese proverb
said, “One need to have a good tools to facilitate his works”. I had tried my
best to provide them with good gadget on their path of study.
Yun was hanging
with my Asus Zenbook with a i7 CPU obtained 5 years ago. I passed on the
notebook to her when I bought a Surface Pro. The Surface Pro was great with the
touch screen but otherwise, suboptimal for daily use. The old Zenbook although
came with a i7 but yet it was marked as U and on par to a desktop I5. But Yun
had a great time with it.
When Yun admitted
to the university nearby, she had built herself her own desktop machine under
my instruction. An I7 with 32gb RAM, equipped with a GTX1070 ripped from Xian
computer.(Xian of coz, upgraded his to RTX2080)…
She had completed
her port folio for university entry interview with both the gadgets.
When she accepted the
offer at FJ, I had decided to get her a new laptop; although she insisted that
she can still go on with the old Zenbook, I told her she need something solid
as she will be carrying it to class very intensively in the future.
She wanted a
Zenbook and I told her, it is not rock solid as Asus claimed and we need to get
something military grade. That limited our choice to Dell, HP and Thinkpad. I
got my Thinkpad many years ago and like any other Thinkpad user; it scorched a
deep impression in most of the user.
We had
communicated a few times and Yun had done the sourcing herself. She communicated
with the sales on line and got a good bargain, truly amazed me, if I was the
one who do the sourcing, I would just tick online and enters my credit card
detail.
It was expensive sending kids to tertiary education….I had a relative who could barely support himself, baldly gotten married and currently expecting their first child. I just couldn’t imagine how the child could be raise, but yet someone will always said, in the past there was some parents who raised 8 children with income of RM800/month.
