\"Aftershock!\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got a new laptop! Her name is FURIOSA. She’s a new rig from Aftershock<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why a new laptop? Cause my previous one was somehow missing?<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know but I couldn’t wait for a PC show or sales and such. I needed a new one.<\/p>\n

After asking everyone and posting on FB and twitter, pretty much with the requirements I wanted, Aftershock seemed to be it!<\/p>\n

OH WAIT YAH, this is not an advertorial.<\/p>\n

This is me going AHHHHHHHH cause now everyone<\/em> seems to want to get an Aftershock after my ‘research’ and everyone else’s machines dying.<\/p>\n

Ok. The research was pretty much discussing with everyone online which would be best with my requirements and then everyone figured out their own and yeah… That’s it really.<\/p>\n

SO YEAH, this was how it went.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Yay!\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It took a few days to be built.<\/p>\n

Did you know you get it ‘cheaper’ if you pay in cash or nets instead of online on their website?<\/p>\n

The staff at their branch at Funan\u00c2\u00a0was pretty nice. I approached the guy on shift and he told me how it was. A minimum $200 deposit which you can pay in cash or nets there.<\/p>\n

And then the\u00c2\u00a0balance of the payment\u00c2\u00a0when you get your rig, either delivered to their Funan one or their other main branch.<\/p>\n

So ordering it was simple since we did it ‘online’ there and I paid in real life. So woooh.<\/p>\n

This is an M-15. I wanted something budgety but worked for what I needed.<\/p>\n

Also I didn’t realize that 15 inches was\u00c2\u00a0that<\/em> big because I had been working on screens smaller than it?! It just made me go woah.<\/p>\n

\"Them<\/a><\/p>\n

And then I got a call during the weekend while one of their staff told me she was giving me a free upgrade for my hard drive. The convo basically went like this:<\/p>\n

Aftershock Staff: We’re giving you a free upgrade for your HDD, would you be ok with\u00c2\u00a0that?<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: Yes. Do it.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I MEAN REALLY.<\/p>\n

Also she was checking through my list of specs while they were building and asked if I really needed Windows 7 because I would save monies if I just stuck to windows 8.<\/p>\n

Awww, they really care for your rig and budget but I told her I’m going to stick to it since I don’t know if my adobe stuff will work ok on win 8.<\/p>\n

I\u00c2\u00a0did<\/em> learn that if you were on a win 8, you can have a shell to make it look like win 7.<\/p>\n

No matter, they really do confirm with you and then TADAAA.<\/p>\n

A few days later, my laptop was done!<\/p>\n

\"SMS<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, I was waiting for my crew at the national library, in the basement reading Lovely Complex when I got an sms from Aftershock.<\/p>\n

I got it at 6.54pm.<\/p>\n

The shop closed at 7.30pm.<\/p>\n

I ran.<\/p>\n

\"That's<\/a><\/p>\n

I ran like some pink blur all the way from the national library to Funan and made it in time.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say, it was totally worth it.<\/p>\n

\"Borderlands<\/a><\/p>\n

My adobe suite stuff is running pretty ok!<\/p>\n

Still not going to chance it with win 8 since I have heard it bugged out for some people with the ‘older’ software I might use anyway.<\/p>\n

Besides that, since my new rig is\u00c2\u00a0technically<\/em> a gaming rig, I’m finally lag free and able to play with others. Huzzah!!<\/p>\n

I’ve also gotten some of my humble bundle games on steam and…<\/p>\n

\"Hatoful<\/a><\/p>\n

Ok, so I’m playing Hatoful Boyfriend too.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a><\/p>\n

They actually have a pretty nice soundtrack?<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know really.<\/p>\n

Anyway, want a custom rig, nice staff and at affordable prices? Yeah, I’m totally pointing towards Aftershock.<\/p>\n

Ps. It’s a Singapore brand too so wooooh.<\/p>\n

Pps. I AM PLAYING OTHER GAMES TOO, like, good grief. Yes, I’m going to take advantage that this is an actual proper laptop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
