1. The last laptop I had, the battery is right beside the CPU. (Is it okay to use 'is' even thought I don't have the laptop anymore? Or only 'was' is correct?)
2. The last laptop I have, the battery was ride beside the CPU. (I don't know why but 'last' sounds odd with 'have' here? Isn't 'last' = recently ? Why is 'have' wrong here?)
Thanks.
