Alita: Lenovo Ideapad Y480

After 7 years of a love-hate relationship, I'm preparing to say goodbye to a frenemy AYUMU. She helped me out well, but recently work and browsing was proving too much for her. I end up screaming and almost pulling my hair due to frustration.

Gigahertz Computer got into my radar after my cousin bought her ASUS laptop from there. I noticed a clearance item for sale on their site and got me interested. After a few exchanges and a few weeks, they told me that a unit was available. I insisted to visit their main office to inspect/confirm and they were very accommodating. The unit checked out so I paid and went home very happy.

It took a while for me to decide on her name. Going over anime/manga that were really memorable, Alita/Gally jumped at me and seemed like a good fit. Similar to the story, this laptop was broken/faulty, but was brought back to life and fulfilled a better purpose.
