  In seventh grade, I was given a Chromebook from my school. I used this Chromebook to only do school work, and it was fine at doing that, but only that. Since I received this computer in the seventh grade, I haven't gotten a new computer; that is until this week. I felt the urge to purchase a new computer for the sake of performance and practicality. The Chromebook was fine for doing most school work like assignments on Google docs or Google slides, but when I needed to make a video presentation or use a program, the Chromebook failed me. It didn't nearly have enough computing power to accomplish these tasks, so I felt as if I should buy a new computer for myself. I wanted something not too big, on the lighter side, minimalistic, powerful, and that could play some small games in my free time. So I went on Best Buy and started searching for the perfect laptop for me. 

    Firstly, I didn't want to search for something that was over $1000, because that would be way too expensive. Although I didn't want something cheap because I wanted something of quality that would last for my years throughout college. So the first thing I did was filter through the price on the Best Buy website; from $0 to $1000 dollars. Whenever I came across something that looked aesthetically pleasing, had a great price, and had strong and powerful components, I immediately looked at reviews. I kept searching and searching until I came across three fitting laptops. They were all around $900, so the price wasn't too bad, and they all had great hardware. The thing that separated them the most was the exterior. I didn't like how one of them looked because they were bulky; plus it was quite a heavy laptop, so that one was thrown out of the picture. The other two were both really amazing options though, so I had a difficult time choosing. In the end, it came to reviews, and it was clear that one of them had a better build quality (full metal v.s all plastic). So I ended up going with the one with great build quality. I am happy with my choice: MSI Delta 15. Its retail price is extremely expensive ($1600), but I got mine for an early Black Friday price of $1000.

    In terms of laptops, do you prefer Windows, Mac, or something else? P.C or laptop? What do you currently own?

    I do not know a lot about computers, but I personally use a Mac that I have had since 8th grade and I use it all of the time, especially for school .

    Historically I’ve always had a MAC computer, but I recently switched to a Microsoft Surface. I’m really enjoying it!

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
