Replacing my computer My computer has been acting up on me. It's a pretty old model, and I need to replace it. I decided to call up my friend Sofia to ask for her two cents. She is a computer whiz. She knows PC really well since she worked on them for years. She is a big Linux fan. So, I though she would be good person to ask. Well, I called up Sofia to tell her what I needed. She immediately started throwing out specs: "You need at least a core i7 Intel processor, 8 GB of memory RAM and make sure it has enough HDD space".I then said, "wow! All of that is over my head. Let's back up for a minute." She got a bit carried away when describing the ideal PC for me. She started at the beginning and explained everything in a better way. After the explanation I said, "I think I am following you so far". She also reminded me to don't forget about the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers. Finally, I went to the store and purchased the computer.

jaja aprendiste nuestros modismos bien, y suenaste como EEUUense. La única cosa, "to ask for her 2 cents." Ya has usaste tantos modismos y ahora otro "two cents" me parece un poco forzado aquí, por lo menos, para mí. Tal vez a otros les guste. Pero estoy de acuerdo, usaste "two cents" de una manera correcta de otra forma.

debes decir "PCs", plural, cuando hablas de ellos en general
