In less than a year Steemit has done a lot for me!
Over the last couple months, I've been able to start using the steem I've powered down to do some pretty amazing things.
The first big thing being that I was able to afford was a trip to Melbourne with 
Everyone knows that kindness and love are free, but sometimes, having some money can help in ways that having a big heart can't.
Which brings us back to
The only real problem being that Dun was working with a laptop that was held together solely with love, spit, and some bubblegum. The ol' girl was tired and ready to go to pasture. It was bad.
Sometimes you could hear it choke and sputter from the other room, the fan making a sound that wasn't unlike a human voice begging..

I spent a good while wandering the store and looking at every single laptop they had available, reading over specs and attempting to pick out the perfect one. Which is always hard when the person it is for isn't present.. and your co-pilot sneaks off only to return 20 minutes later with a huge bag of yarn and a guilty expression.
But after a small eternity of browsing, I came across one that seemed to fit his needs perfectly. And it was shiny!
An Aspire E5-523G!
It features an AMD A9-9410 2.9 GHz; Dual-core processor, 1 TB hard drive, DVD writer, DDR4 8GB memory, and an AMD Radeon R5 M430 graphics card (with up to 2GB dedicated)!
The biggest selling point for this being the best laptop for Dun was that it not only had the dvd writer so he could burn and play his dvds, but it also had a VGA port for older tech along with the HDMI!(He is a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to collecting items, some older but still functional!) The graphics card would also be capable of supporting games he may want to play! And that is important, as everyone knows!
