My laptop

I bought my laptop in January. It cost me nearly 600 bucks. Now it is even more expensive as the our economy has fallen down. I'm pleased with its keyboard, screen and configuration. Keyboard is good and comfortable for typing. But, as it is 15.6 inches and has a numpad section, I found out that it needs to be shifted a little bit right, so that the main keyboard is in the centre for a balanced position of hands. I think next time I'll buy a 14 inch or less because they don't have a numpad section.


is it right to say 'notebook' instead of 'laptop'?

"Needs to be" is again grammatically correct, but it conveys more urgency. It's like saying something needs to be done immediately. In this case, I would use "should be" because it sounds more like a suggestion.

"Centre" is British English and "center" is American English. "Found out" is ok too, but I'd say "realized."
