Pondering..

The computer I have was a gift from my family, an eMachine that had 512mb of RAM, a 106GB harddrive and a few other cut-rate inside parts.

The sound card on the first one was terrible and didn't work at all, and Best Buy exchanged computers for a working soundcard.

Anyways, it only took about 5 months to totally fill up that hard drive, and that was all from torrenting. So there isn't much on my computer save for music, so I bought a new hard drive. A 650GB external Western Digital drive.

After one day at my boyfriends it was totally filled up with videos of all sorts, and has about 30 gigs for a nightly backup that I do with SyncBack. I only sync the important things, like music and text files, amongst some of my applications like Photoshop (which I need to upgrade).

But now I'm faced with even more difficulty.
After my boyfriends sister bought a new laptop that was more powerful than HIS computer, I'm left wondering if I should invest in a new hard drive, or if I should buy a laptop. The price comparison is obviously about $500. But do I want 1TB of hard drive space, or a laptop that can run Warcraft, Word, Internet and Photoshop on the go?

I'm not sure, because I rarely get out much ANYWAYS, and I already have an Asus EePc. Which I'm selling. Soon. :)
