Mhmm. I got a 'prebuilt' (though partially customisable) Sony laptop rather than fully customising my own, as having a Sony store round the corner for when things go wrong is very convenient. The downside is that there was no Windows 7 option for the OS - and sure, I could put 7 on there myself, but 8 isn't nearly enough of a hassle to be worth that. It gets way more hatred than is deserved.

Windows 8 was literally made to be for the tablet and other touch screen devices. Using it's interface is supposedly impossible and moving the mouse to the far side of the screen will bring up that stupid clock-- but it is not a bad OS and does it's job. The problem with it is that it was made by Microsoft which everyone thinks is the Antichrist's personal software company. The only problem I have with it has to do with my shaky as Hell hands which will cause that damn clock.
