Lets see you do that with a mac, since you wanna talk money.

LMAO it's not bloatware if you use it? Yes it is. Mcafee is automatically used on ops shit level dell.

He uses it ( im assuming, i'd hope not ) that still makes it bloat wear.

You should stop melting and flaming before I report you.

Dude I don't care how many computers you build. Really doesn't impress me. Get back to me when you create something. You're just a fucking slug.

I don't use mcafee. I don't use antivirus programs other than windows defender. I don't click on everything I see. Also, I reformatted the hard drive an installed a RETAIL version of windows 8.1. There is no DELL bloat on here other than the trackpad driver and the wireless driver, which are not bloat.

To Drr: I'm done, I'm not going to argue with a little apple fanboy. I used to be just like you, defending everything all holy apple says and does, denying their products are complete SHIT. Audacity is better than garageband. You can't do mathematically precise things in garageband like you can on audacity. Audacity DOES support multitrack, perhaps you are just too stupid to figure it out which is why you use macs.

Yes the Dell came preinstalled with shitty mcafee but I fuckin' wiped that shit, reformatted it and installed MY OWN copy of retail windows on it. None of that Dell shit.

FIRST thing you should do if you buy a prebuilt comptuer is refomat and install your own vanilla windows os on it.

I reported him for the flaming anyways.

But you should get Avast! all the other antiviruses use their virus definitions because it's the best on the market, a lot of other pubbers and the majority of the internet agree with me on avast! being the best available.

Dell still makes low quality products, you made great step ahead by installing a fresh copy of windows without dells bullshit, but the dell made quality parts are still an issue.

But you only payed like 250 for it right? Not a big deal if it breaks, but In me experience dell parts physically fail sadly, quite a bit actually.

And Toshiba's have shitty batteries. Toshiba would be a great laptop company except their batteries fall after like one year, almost religiously. Sometimes six months depending on usage. Basically if you own a toshiba the battery will fail.

It sucks because you really can't build a laptop unless you've been building rigs for years and years.

When you get the dough, you should really check out Origin.

They let you build your own everything and they assemble it for you.

http://www.originpc.com/configurator/l/l1.aspx?SYSTEMID=39

That should open up to customizing one of their laptops, you can choose whatever parts you want and it doesn't gouge prices, their former employees of alienware who quit when dell bought it, so they have something to prove. So all their shit has guarantees, is hand made in the USA, and is 100 percent customizable even down to the paint on the outside.

It's good shit.

I've wanted an origin computer just because their towers are sexy, but I can build the same thing for cheaper still so I'll never cave in until I'm rich.

An origin laptop though.. :awetongue:

Oh no! I will NEVER use avast! I had that installed on the windows 8.1 partition on my imac and it was causing random disconnections with my internet, even after uninstalling it completely. My internet stopped having problems only after a reformat and reinstallation of windows. I ONLY use vanilla windows. I have a friend who works for microsoft who hooked me up with a full vanilla retail version of windows with key for $25. 64 bit.

In a few years when I replace the dell, I will research into what better laptops there are. I really just wanted something fast that can replace the macbook.

I paid $340 for the dell laptop.

I'm on a pirated windows running avast, that's weird, are you positive avast caused the issues? I've been running avast since XP and never had any sort of issue like that, :shrug: All the other virus definitions are taken from avast, but to be honest, avast is pointless for me as I'm sure it is for you. I've never gotten a virus, and probably won't since I don't do stupid shit. The only way you get a virus is if you download a like like Hot new Miley Cyrus xxx Triple Xx potato fuck video or some stupid shit,

Origins are the way to go though, check out there website and build a dream laptop sometime. Also this,

Lol, you guys go on an on about Mac's being shit but then talk about what anti-virus software you use. Lol.

Any of you guys actually write code professionally full-time? I've been writing code for a living for 12 years now. When it comes to professional and productivity software, the Mac apps can't be beat. All the best devs use a Mac so they end up writing the best 3rd party apps for Mac too. I don't know very many Windows app developers outside of enterprise software.

I get it for games though. I can play most high end games on low-med graphics settings, but my computer is almost 3 years old now. A new rMBP would be better, but still wouldn't be great for graphics. The issue isn't really hardware, it's the software itself. I expect to see some changes in the future as open source continues to dominate and WebGL keeps getting better. Mobile devices for example have stunning graphics considering the fraction of CPU and GPU power in them compared to average gaming machines.

I've never owned a modern Mac but I've seen it claimed a lot in online discussions that their prices are way out of line with comparable products, and when it gets into specifics nobody seems to really be able to back it up. Any pro-grade laptop is generally going to cost a significant chunk of money.

Avast is THE best security software IMO. Used it for over a decade, never any problems with it

The price is in the details. The size, the screen, the multi-touch trackpad, the chiclet backlit keyboard, magsafe port, battery life, the noise level (damn near silent), and the software.

No PC manufacturer has anything comparable in quality when it comes to the things I mention. All the companies try and claim to have these things, but when it comes to using them for a job and relying on them day in and day out, it's only the Mac that prevails, IMO of course.

But you are right, if you compare "specs", the Mac isn't the best option. But specs are just specs and don't really mean shit when it comes to software, audio,  and video work. And the computer is a tax expense so it the price shouldn't really matter if it's required for doing business. Rather what does matter is the ability for a machine to be able to get out of the way and me make money.

For me it's not even the PC hardware that is bad. It's Windows... I just hate Windows and the UI's on Linux try to copy from Windows and Mac, which I hate even more. I love Linux for servers and CLI, but not for daily work/personal machines.

I have a mac. It kinda sucks. All the updates are buggy as shit and they usually have to roll out another patch in the next 48 hours to get it right. Im gonna check out origin for my next pc psychonautica since I was always a fan of alienware back in the day. Its funny I used to be big into computers back in the day but ever since I got a Mac I haven't really given a fuck

Yes, I do code full time, that's my job, and no, all the best devs don't use macs, that's some big bullspit.. Maybe if you're making shit like flappy bird but if you want to make a triple A title you better build a real computer.

Where do you do your "professional coding" a starbucks?
:canthelpbutlaugh:

Macs get viruses to by the way you silly fuck. You know why there's less viruses for a mac? Because there are less mac users. There proportionately the same amount of viruses for both parties.

The fact that you melted so hard you rated me a 0 because you own a fucking make gave me the heartiest lulz I've had in a while so thank you sir.

Everything is quicker and more intuitive? hahahahhahahahahahaha
You have absolutely know idea what you're talking about.

My fastest boot time on my PC was 13 seconds. I'd love to see a mac go from completely powered down (not hibernated,) to running in 13 seconds.

I'm talking full boot too. as in logged in, and seeing the desktop. My computer doesnt have a password so it auto logs in.

And They're not even close to the industry standard and the fact that you say that show's you've never been in a real recording studio. They're the industry standard for people who think they're musicians but really aren't.

PEBKAC.

The audicity interface is actually pretty simple and forgiving.

You like macs because you need to have your hand held by pretty graphics and GUI's to walk you through making your music.

I bet if you saw a command prompt program you'd shit your pants.

Keep going though, this is hilarious.

Someone quote me so he can see his ridiculous "herrderr is faster" fallacy disproved.

I bet if I ran only my motherboard and none of my video cards, or sound cards my shit would still run better and faster than his.

It's funny when an apple fanboy is at loss for words when talking to PC people. Everything PC people say about mac users are completely true. I used macs for 8 years, and I can say that it's true!

My next laptop will be an origin. They ONLY have top of the line shit. But do they put their own bloat on the os or is it vanilla windows?

Why should you build your own computer???? The same reason why you would grow your own shrooms. Because it's easy, and you know exactly what parts are in it and the quality.
