"As a college student, there are lots of research work we do in school which are best done when one has access to a computer. Since I did not have one, I was forced to go to a cybercafe, spending a lot of money to get my work done. Now that I have my own laptop, I do my research on time, get time to consult with my colleagues and get the best result unlike before when I used to work alone in a cybercafe."
