Next time you complain about your computer, remember what you have. 

It's easy to get frustrated with your computer no matter how great it is. Even if you get a reliable quad-core Samsung laptop, at some point it's going to get under your skin. Maybe it will freeze, or slow down, or overheat. But remember: It's still several orders of magnitude better than what the same amount of money would have bought you two decades ago. 

Sure, the 4GB of RAM might max out if you have two dozen applications open at once. But if you had told somebody in 1992 that you had that much memory, they'd probably say, "What's a gigabyte"? Point is, people used to make do with a lot less. So next time you complain that you don't have a top-of-the-line high-performance laptop, try to focus instead on what you DO have: a supercomputer by '90s standards.

The 500GB of hard drive space on this Samsung laptop is roughly fourteen thousand TIMES more memory than the 36MB on the 1992 Macintosh Performa. Yeah you might not be able to store a  full month's worth of HD video, but you still have FIVE HUNDRED BILLION bytes to work with.

Point is: Life ain't exactly hard.
