what the hell do you do with your personal computer?
    #14004274 - 02/21/11 10:02 PM (12 years, 11 months 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.

(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.

What don't I do with my computer?

recipes, directions, movies, shows, stumble upon, games, email, work, random question look up (what's that one song... who's the guy in that one movie... how big is a... etc...), board

If I could have one chip'd into my head, then I'd do it. BORG STYLE.

I use mine for occasional work, writing papers, crunching data, graphing etc.  However most work related stuff gets done at work, on the work computer.

Nowadays I just use it for basic stuff, email, web surfing, music, video, light photo retouching etc.  I still have a strong preference to use a full, desktop keyboard and mouse.  I don't particularly care to do major things on a laptop with touchpad.

Most media output is done on the laptop, since it has HDMI out and can interface with a nice receiver.  This will move along once the media center is actually complete.

...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge.  It is an indellible experience; it is forever known.  I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did.

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.

I have been looking into Android Tablets. I know I can get one for at LEAST less than 300 dollars but i want a 10 inch one and the little usb keyboard add on and that would be a good enough laptop for me, I have no data plan for my phone and i pay 10 bucks a month for phone service with our family plan. I could then use the Android anywhere there is Wifi.

I am still researching all the specs and things I want in it though, its kinda confusing because theres kind of a lot of them.
