should i be sad?

should i be sad that i just went with the stock graphics option and didnt upgrade to the better card? i don't do gaming ever and this laptop is just a second for me to use. i also have a year old desktop. i use the laptop for work. since it's just a second machine for me i didn't want to spend a ton of money on it.

i got the 1420 with the anti glare screen.

 

No. There's no need for a good graphics card if you don't play games.

 

if you aren't gaming than there isn't a need for a dedicated video card.

 

thanks - that's what i thought. i got fired (and lost my latitude with it) in february and since then i have been using a new gateway that my dad gave me. it was a gift - and i still can't bear to use it. i've only ever used dells. i tried to like it. but after just a few months, the left click is depressed and unresponsive, word freezes regularly and the other day the keyboard randomly starting typing the letter 'o' wherever it felt like it. i ordered the 1420 that day.

it shall be named rustyosaurus, after my moniker. my desktop is named sampson.

 

Gateway has something wrong with their laptops... it takes me FOREVER to boot up even the first day I got it. I tried reformating stuff, optimizing using Bootvis, etc... but nothing seemed to work!
