Oh, I forgot to tell you how quiet the new computer is. The old one was like a whole warehouse of noisy-clanky things... during an earthquake. It's certainly a welcome change. It's also pretty small in size - most people are really surprised when they see it, some even ask "What is this device on your desk?" So funny. For the record, though, this isn't the smallest computer I've ever seen - there were even smaller in one of the comp labs of the university I studied at. But they were just terminals, so I don't know if it counts.

Another peculiar thing about this new computer is that all driver upgrades cannot be done independently - you have to upgrade the "firmware", which includes custom drivers for this particular machine. This is the first time I see such a system.

Aye, and I sometimes hear the scary words "gaming as a service", which does not bode well for its future...
