I am thankful my husband bought me a new laptop for my birthday BUT I am not thrilled with the brand. It is an HP and I have had 2 Toshibas. The HP is not user friendly. The photo program is AWFUL! The machine lags and sometimes will not even open a page. I just keep telling myself that I will get used to it, it is just different. I know I am sounding spoiled but it is frustrating.
