what the hell do you do with your personal computer?
    #14004274 - 02/21/11 10:02 PM (13 years, 11 days ago)

What kind of computer do you have? Custom? do you have a neat laptop? What is your computer used for?

Me personally I like my custom handbuilt pc and i do gaming, among just having it as an all around media device, i am sure when theres no other blue ray player i might get that as an add on, but its pretty complete otherwise as its hooked up to my TV and performs all the things I need except i like a separate DVR

I always wonder what other people use their computers for, i know notebook computers are expensive, but they outsell desktops anymore i think.

i originally built my computer for gaming, but now it has turned more into a computer for running photoshop along with lots of other music recording software and video editing programs...my main computer, i also have a shitty dell laptop and a shitt dell desktop....not shitty i guess but nothing special...and if i just want to surf the net, or look something up quick, i use my ipod touch lol

I have a standard white Macbook that was way too fucking expensive for what I use it for.  And I purchased it before the addition of the 13" macbook pro which is only like a hundred bucks more so basically I got fucked in that department.
:feelsbadman:

But I use it with my MIDI to practice DJ'ing so at least the stability is probably better for that, and I plan on pursuing it as a hobby further so it lessens my buyer's remorse a bit.

I miss the days of having a grounded desktop PC.  They're going to keep becoming even more rare as the years go.
& if computers continue to move further towards the touchscreen phase I'll kick somebody in the face.
Touchscreens are not even that fucking cool!

dude dont underestimate the macbooks, i can run final cut and play/edit all my hd footage with this thing. plus it plays most games with pretty damn decent graphics for a laptop not designed for gaming. these things are beefy. and with the 13'' macbook pro's there's not really much of an improvement, well not enough that its worth paying more than you already have to.

for me the macbook was a perfect buy

Oh don't get me wrong haha I love my Macbook more than just about anything I've ever purchased.  I'm sold on Apple products already, they're really nice and their designers are masters of making aesthetically pleasing shit.  I just wish they weren't so fucking expensive!  But i'll still be buying another Macbook when I upgrade regardless.

haha right on man i feel the exact same way. apple made the sole act of browsing and viewing webpages enjoyable just with how you control everything on the pad.

if i dont build a windows pc for my next comp i'm definitely saving up for an actual iMac instead of just a laptop. the imacs are such strong computers, but they are pretty pricy.

oh yeah, what do i do with it?

well i'm here a lot where i spend a lot of time in the market trading and i'm in most all of the rooms at some point. store/edit/publish my photography online, make music and movies, keep in contact with people, write letters, poetry, short stories, a screenplay (unfinished) see my daughter via webcam, read and watch the news, watch TV programs/movies and homemade movies and videos, research things i'm interested in. oh and look for girl to fuck. (and maybe more..) oh yeah and i've looked for jobs, bought everything from firewood to kids movies, and found free shit off craiglist. i think that's most of it.
