Hello dear friends.
This is a video I think I completely owe you
because I haven´t shown up for two weeks.
Is it because I have decided to quit Youtube? because I needed a break?
¡No!
What happened is that one day my computer stopped working, making it impossible for me to export videos or edit pictures.
listen for a minute
Hello!, Hello! I need your help.
Basically, my laptop died two or three days ago
I've taken it to a tech shop. They told me that the problem is the motherboard.
oh, S**t, anything else?
Well, they told me they have one motherboard that's compatible with my laptop.
The problem is that this motherboard has a built-in CPU Intel core I3 and no graphics card.
Alberto, buy a new one. Spending a lot of money on an old computer is not a good idea...
There is a street in Hanoi full of computer repair shops.
So I'm going to go there and see if I can find a good motherboard with a CPU Intel Core I5, just in case.
If I find one, then they can just install it
And, If I can't find any, I will just go for the motherboard with the core I3, maybe it will work well enough.
Of course, of course
Cool! Well, thank you very much, this conversation has helped me quite a lot.
By the way, this conversation might end up in Youtube :-D
So I went out to see if I could find a decent motherboard.
We are here, I don't know if this is the kind of place where we can find a motherboard, but let's try.
I just showed a picture of a motherboard and a picture of my laptop to the seller in the shop,
and he is checking whether or not they have it in stock.
Upps, they don't. See you later!
It says "Dell", and my laptop is a Dell...
Let's see what they tell us ...
My motherboard is dead. Oh! Sorry, we don't sell parts.
We have not been lucky, they don't have it, let's keep looking!
And I eventually found it, but it was super expensive.
After talking to a few people, including Alicia M. Chicano,
we concluded that it is not worth spending a lot of money on a motherboard to fix a laptop that's 5 years old.
I have decided that I will take the motherboard with worse specs. This way, I will at least be able to export the video about Mai Châu.
And, really, get by for now until I buy a new computer.
But, what is a motherboard and why is it important?
These are the most important computer components.
This is the CPU (Central Processing Unit) (the processor).
Secondly, we have RAM (Random Access Memory), which is this one.
Some people say that the RAM is like your short-term memory and the CPU is like your intelligence.
The graphics card helps the CPU to process graphics (for example, videos).
Finally, we have the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The hard drive typically holds all of our data.
All of our documents, movies, music and so on, are within the HDD.
So, the HDD, the RAM, the graphics card and the CPU "speak" or "communicate" with each other through the motherboard.
The motherboard is what connects all of them.
What happened to my laptop is that the motherboard died,
it is completely dead and practically impossible to fix, and so is my CPU.
The motherboard we're going to install has a low-end CPU and no graphics card.
Thus, this will be a temporary solution and we'll soon see whether it works or I have just wasted a bit of my money.
The newly fixed laptop, with the new motherboard (CPU I3) simply didn't measure up.
and that was, to tell you the truth, very disappointing.
That is my laptop! They have cleaned it up, which is nice of them.
It is on!
Yes, my friends! We are going to take it home!
And the truth is, it can't do the job
It's horrible, it's horrible.
So I decided to buy a new computer.
New computer!, new computer !, new computer!
I'm ready, let's go to the "computering store"!
I found a good laptop online, I was happy with it and went to the store to buy it. Listen to my reaction after visiting that shop...
This is not a reliable shop.
They advertised a laptop online, then they confirmed they had it through a phone call,
and then you arrive, listen that they want to open the new laptop and fit in some extra RAM to match the specs they advertise online.
If you advertise a laptop with 16 gigabytes of RAM, then the machine must have 16 gigabytes of RAM, before opening the box.
What they did is just not acceptable. You shouldn't just open a laptop, stick in a couple of RAM sticks and send the customer home.
because that is no longer a new computer, that is a computer that has been opened by you!
I recorded 2 videos (one in Spanish and one in English) criticising the unprofessional attitude of the staff at this shop
and I think I will not make any of them public, because I think it does not matter, because it is just a small shop.
So I decided to order a new computer online and they sent it to my place.
It took a week and, you can imagine, I was so happy when it arrived, I was truly over the Moon when the delivery man phoned me.
They are calling, this is my new computer!
Here it is !, here it is!
Crazy
Okay
And here it is, my new laptop.
Hardware manual.
Charger.
This is like the birth of the computer. It's its first time, the first time it turns on.
I'm a little bit concerned about the pre-set language.
Will it be Vietnamese or English?
English, that's good!
These have been two weeks full of moments of reflection, inspiration and reading.
I have made a few decisions regarding this channel and this project as a whole.
First, I will try to upload a new video every week, on Tuesdays at 21:00 (Vietnam time), 15:00 in the UK.
However, you need to know that if one week I can't come up with a good video, I will not upload anything at all.
I will also try to become much more active on Facebook and Instagram.
I have not uploaded anything in the past 2 weeks.
It has been frustrating and even a little painful
to think "I want to do this but do not feel I have the right tools".
I am delighted to say that now I have a new laptop,
I'm equipped well enough and will become active again on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
And, one more thing, I would like to create videos that really respond to the needs that you, my viewers, have:
whether you see this channel because you are curious or because you are seeking advice because you are planning to travel to Vietnam.
Or because you are going to travel in general and seek some sort of travel tips, either in general or specifically related to Vietnam,
or even other Southeast Asian countries, or, really, any country that you know I have visited.
I would like to create videos that really provide value, informative videos able to satisfy your curiosity and entertain
or even providing more practical information to the people who are going to come to Vietnam
and would like answers to some of their questions.
So without further ado I am going to say good bye!
Thank you for watching this video,
I hope you enjoyed it
