Got a New Laptop This Week!

We Were Looking into Having my Old Laptop Fixed

It would have ended up costing more than it was worth.
We went a bit over our initial budget in order to get something that had both a Solid State Drive and a Hard Disk Drive with plenty of storage space.

The laptop I was using is now my backup and I use it while I work and watch TV.
It still has Windows 10 running on it.

My new laptop is super-fast with 32 GB of RAM and it has a full 1080 HD Monitor.
The processor is an Intel Core i5

And I chose to go ahead and download the upgrade to Windows 11.

I was hesitating at first because I saw some complaints about it online but I had to see for myself anyway.

They give you 10 days to decide if you want to revert back to Windows 10 which helped my decision-making.

Everything that worked before still works now.

The only thing that was different from what we expected was the RAM.
We thought it was upgradeable to 40 GB and that it already had an 8GB memory stick soldered in with space for the 32GB one we bought. When Roy opened it up to do the upgrade yesterday, he discovered that was not the case. There was only 1 slot for a memory stick with the 8GB already there.

I am not complaining. It boots up very fast and it has the speed required and more for what I do.
Most of the afternoon yesterday was spent getting the new laptop set up and moving to Windows 11, etc. That was after having worked at my cousin's office from 8 am to 1 pm.
Busy day yesterday and today is for catching up with online work.
Onto my weekly Hive stacks progress.

Buy Days were Thursday and Saturday this Week

I bought my LTC and Hive on Thursday to get a head start on my weekly
token buying.
There is 8.070 Hive left in my wallet from last week when I bought $35 USD worth of Hive to pay Affiliate commissions for The Pizza Plan.
I also used some of it to Power Up Hive on this month's HPUD

So that just means I have a bit extra to invest invest in tokens because I still did my weekly $16 USD fiat DCA to buy LTC.

Sent $14.37 USD worth of LTC to Blocktrades for 32.32 Hive tokens
Used the Swap feature in Hivepay.io to deposit to Swap.Hive
Still had 0.27552815 Swap.Hive in Hive Engine from last week.

Sent 40.39 Hive and will receive 40.309 after a fee of 0.081 Hive
As of 3/3, I had 40.58452815 Swap.Hive to invest this week.

But I ended up doing my token buying, today, Saturday instead.
In the meantime, I received 0.00006151 Swap.Hive from hivehustlers
And my weekly Swap.Hive from bbhbot from holding BBH tokens.
That was 0.27220199 SWAP.HIVE

My total to invest turned out to be 44.21745287 Swap.Hive.

Comngratulationa on the new laptop (though I'd always recommend some version of Linux over Windows any day) and your really excellent progress! Also, for amounts of 1 HIVE or over, USwap is cheaper. Happy Weekend! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Given how technology is improving, so long as you can recover your data, I think it's not worth it to really repair a laptop that is a few years old. It's too bad you couldn't upgrade your RAM but if it works, then it works.

We were able to upgrade it to the max available.
Just misunderstood what the max was and 32 GB is pretty fast.
Yes, it works very well.
Whatever data there was on the old hard drive in the old laptop that I needed is already stored on external drives.
Roy, my husband, can take the old hard drive and vent off some stress by destroying it. LOL
Enjoy your day😆

I like your steady dollar-cost-averaging approach to accumulating Hive each week. Interesting to see you swapping dollars for LTC for HIVE. Was LTC a good deal last week, or do you always go that way?

Found this post in the ConversionCatalyst community chat - thank you!

Hi David!
You're very welcome and thanks for commenting.
I always buy the LTC and then swap it for Hive every week.
I don't lose very much at all by doing it that way.
And it's simple and quick.
Have a great day😆

Thanks very much, John!
It is pretty awesome.
The one I am now using for a spare is still very good though.
I like being able to do things like surf TEs or read emails while I watch TV
Or even upvote stuff on Veews
Have a great day😆

Congratulations for the new laptop Lisa. It's really a good with almost high level configuration.

My new laptop is super-fast with 32 GB of RAM and it has a full 1080 HD Monitor. The processor is an Intel Core i5

Is there any specific reason to choose i5 as you could have gone for i7 and we even have i9?
I think i5 is a bit outdated..

Thanks very much, @alokkumar121!
We were trying to stay within a budget and really went over it with this as it is.
It works great and has just what I need for what I do online.
I didn't even know i9 processors existed.
Pretty amazing.
Maybe next time I do an upgrade.
Have a great day😆

Sounds like you are well fortified to keep them stacks growing with the new laptop Lisa.

I appreciate the feeling of getting a new laptop or phone when you working on side hustles.

Great Job on the Stack Mode @lisamgentile1961 !CTP !PIZZA PLAN
