Finally sold my old macbook and replaced it with a real laptop.
    #21800152 - 06/12/15 11:33 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Been getting real sick of apple's shitty buggy osx. Been using apple computers for almost 8 years now. You have to own apple products to truly hate apple.

Sold my old 2007 macbook for $250 and bought myself a nice Dell Latitude E6410 from eBay for only $340. 2.8ghz i7 M640 (turbos at 3.5ghz), 8gb 1066mhz ram, 1tb hdd. It's way fuckin' faster and better than the macbook. I reformatted it and installed a fresh copy of windows 8.1 that a friend who works for microsoft hooked me up with for only $25. Installed all the drivers I need for it.

I want to sell my iMac in a few years. I still have some video editing I need to do on the mac osx before I sell it and custom make a beast desktop. Macs are pretty much only good for video editing. Or any media editing. 

I have a question, why is this laptop slower to boot up after installing all those millions of microsoft updates?? It booted up pretty fast before all the updates, but after installing them all, my bootup time is doubled.

Not really. I hate them because I see them for exactly what they are. Inferior unimaginative products that only fetch top dollar because of a logo.

I have hated apple since the days of the Macintosh computer.

It was easier back then.

Name one thing a PC can do that a mac can't? right click

well you kind of answered your own question, more starting programs taking up RAM means a longer boot up time

might as well be happy mine takes like 2-3minutes if you try clicking on anything after the screen is there

And the irony is in 8 years from now you couldn't pay someone $250 to take that PC let alone get $250 out resale out of it. I use a Mac every day for a living. All the top guys I know writing software are using a Mac. Never had an issue with my Mac.

Good luck with the new PC... it was probably time for an update regardless of the manufacturer.

Yeah I'm sure my 8 core processor and AMD Radeon 7990 will be obsolete in 8 years. :rofl2:

My parts are all 2 years old so far, and still run every single game on ultra... Oh shit.. how do I put that into context.. You cant run games period..

I'll be over here enjoying beautiful scenery. Ring if you need me.

Play any good games lately? Oh. That's right. Nevermind.




Make sure you watch in 1080, if a mac can even handle that :rofl2:

Nah, E Machines or Acer are worse. At least the Dell will theoretically outlive them both. Really the only problem I have with Dell (that isn't a universal problem with pretty much all low end prebuilts) is the fact that every Dell anyone's ever wanted me to work on because it was performing shitty is the entire goddamn case was riveted on. I just about had an aneurysm the first time I came across one. How the fuck are you supposed to clean out the heat sink and shit. :crankey: The fuck were these people thinking!

The only reason they would do this, is so you have to buy a new computer when that one takes a dump. I would bet that a lot of people never clean their computer anyway. Just like how some people never change the air filter in their air conditioner.

I remember opening this computer to work on it, and there was a dead rat inside of it

I have to agree. most people don't clean them. Every single computer I've ever worked on has been caked in dust to a point where you couldn't even really see the fins of the heat sink any longer. Usually when things are to that point there's nothing I can do. Computers start suffering from overheating long before it reaches that point, so when it's at that point it's been an on going problem and damage is done.




This is almost always the scene I encounter.

Bah dell sucks. Shoulda asked around here first. I like Asus personally but that's just my preference. Can get a pretty damn good hardware wise laptop for relatively cheap. And the builds aren't bad there sturdy

My god.. I bet the smoked while on the computer too.. All that tobacco residue all over it isn't helping.

I worked IT for a while and the most common problem was "IT WON'T TURN ON WHATS WRONG WITH YOU'RE SHITTY PRODUCT" (they're always angry after being on hold) "Okay, what's wrong with it? are you getting any lights or feedback at all? "NO YOUR DAMN TECHNOMAJIG IS BROKEN" "Have you checked to see if it was plugged in Sir/Ma'am" "...oh.. thanks for your help"

Never an apology for being a cunt either.

That computer makes me cringe. We should have a battle stations thread where we post pictures of our rigs.

Mine might make you cringe though because I don't cable management, it's not THAT bad, but its definitely not done right I'm just lazy. I have a craigslist ad to build computers and then I cable manage but otherwise nah, too lazy.

False.

Only because I'll never admit an E machine is a computer.

And Acer makes okay netbooks. if all you're using is the internet and Microsoft word style programs for school you'll be okay with a 100 dollar acer netbook. Never seen an Acer tower but I'd probably kill myself at the site of it.

I could never work IT.. Just in general talking to people about their computers ends up making my eye twitch. I never thought my knowledge of them was anything special but apparently it is. Actually based on all the conversations I've had with people I'm a goddamn genius when it comes to them.. I'll tell you right now I don't know shit. I can build a computer, I can fix problems through Google, but it's all extremely basic stuff. The amount of people out there who seem to know exactly fuck all about them is astounding. I've had people tell me they don't need to clean out the case because theirs has fans (in a fashion that signifies they seem to think this is some special feature) that blow out the dust for them. :facepalm:

The original fat ps3 doesnt have button's the power and disc tray are just icons on a touch screen heat panel. My mom spent like 20 minutes telling me it was broken and couldn't find any buttons (she bought as a bluray player because they're cheaper) and I drove all the way to her house, and put my finger over it and turned it on:justno:

Old people just don't get technology.

It's fucking astounding the stupid fucking calls I got sometimes "Are you connected to the internet?" "What button is that?"
:huxleyfacepalm:

Oh god talking about it just brings the rage back

Wow dude, calm down some of you. I know Dell isn't the best brand but I just SIMPLY wanted something to replace the macbook, something more current and something with more than 2gb of fucking ram. I always got low ram warnings on my macbook with like 2 tabs open in chrome. 2gb of ram was fine 5 years ago but now, websites are more intensive. I do simple things on a computer, internet, music, email, porn, etc, and light video editing. This computer is more than powerful enough.

In a few years when I can afford a BETTER laptop I will get a better one.

I could build everything you have in your little mac books for 300 dollars.

Why would I need to sell it when I still have money left over?

The always restarting issue in your computer is what we used to call in IT, PEBKAC.
