I hate my laptop!!

my dad bought me this laptop when i was a sophomore in high school and i used it for maybe a year before my desktop got fixed. once that got fixed, i didn't really use my laptop because the desktop was way faster. my laptop is a compaq presario and its pretty old and stuff. i decided not to buy a new laptop before coming here freshman year because it was still functional, just a little slow. sometimes when i go on webpages, my laptop lags but i've gotten used to it. last year, it didn't really bother me because i used my laptop for the Internet and writing essays. and i live in benedict so if my laptop was too slow for me to bare, i would just go downstairs to the sinc site. so last year, i was like whatever, i can manage continuing to use this laptop until it dies of after i graduate. however, this year, i need my laptop to do projects with sketch up, comic life and photoshop. and i find it really difficult to always having to go to the sinc site to do the projects. i dont live in a building that has a sinc site downstairs so i'm really not compelled to walk over to benedict. i'm seriusly thinking about buying a new laptop during thanksgiving break cause it's starting to be a problem now. and my friends all know about the slowness of my laptop and make fun of me because of it. they also refuse to come to my room to do any homework that requires loggin onto blackboard like orgo workshops because my laptop will either lag or not respond.
