One word from a staff member helped me save about 110,000 yen.
Today was crazy busy.
Starting next Monday, I will be travelling from Niigata to Tokyo to Tsukuba.
Then, when I get home, I have a lot of work due soon.
The materials for the lectures in Niigata and Tokyo are not yet complete...
At a time like this, I'm grateful to hear that new meeting invitations are coming in one after another...
It was a dizzying day.
In the midst of all this, I recently noticed a problem with my laptop, which I had been using as best I could.
It's nearly perfect for normal use, but I run into problems when giving a lecture.
The plastic protrusion on the plug for outputting to the projector broke off and came off.
It is closed and I can still output data, but the contact is very delicate.
Even a small amount of contact can cause the colors to become distorted or the image to stop appearing.
Up until now, I have been able to fix it quickly, but in yesterday's Hiroshima lecture,
It took me over a minute to fix it.
Today, I checked with the manufacturer to see if it could be repaired. It was a 3mm laptop that cost about 100,000 yen.
Even though only a small protrusion broke, "The whole board will need to be replaced, so it will cost a little over 50,000 yen."
"That's the answer..." I had expected that to some extent, so I said, "I'll just buy a new one."
I replied, "I'm looking for a new computer," and consulted with the staff about how to use my current computer.
was doing.
Yamaguchi then replied, "You should be able to output from USB as well!"
So I immediately ran to the computer store and asked them to buy it.
I was able to connect it perfectly. It cost about 5000 yen.
I saved about 110,000 yen compared to buying a new one.
If it had been an old computer it would have been a different story, but I was relieved that it was a perfectly fine computer.
However, people who often give public presentations should be careful.
The connection terminal for the microHDMI is really delicate.
Even if you don't use it roughly, it will suddenly break one day.
Ultrabooks are thin, so many of them have this kind of connector, but I avoided it.
It's safer. I haven't read anything about it in any computer magazine or on any online comparison site.
This is a very important point.
