I’d like to replace my old laptop. I got it about five years ago when I started university. At that time, it was a great help for my studies, but now it’s very slow and often freezes. The battery doesn’t last long either, so I always need to keep it plugged in. It’s frustrating, especially when I’m working on important assignments or watching videos. The main reason I want to replace it is because it’s no longer reliable. Sometimes, it takes forever to open simple programs, and I worry it might stop working completely one day. Also, newer laptops are much lighter and faster, which would make my life easier. Replacing it isn’t too difficult, but it’s a bit expensive. I’ve been saving money for a new one, and I’m planning to buy it next month. I’ve already researched some models online, so I know what I want. The only challenge is choosing the right one because there are so many options. But I’m excited to finally have a laptop that works smoothly!
