BT thinks this is an Apple store and he's a sales associate.

He really believes in their products.

Some of us are more open than others to taking a bite out the big Apple.

And some of you are more likely to tempt others with an apple...

Most apple types are apples.



Small numbers a commonality ... It's like a cult of wannabe "superior" people  :laugh:

Different machine. Gaming PC's have uprated graphics cards that are useless for general purposes.

And very few people have Rolls Royces.



Whats your point?

But we sure as hell are not talking Rolls here.



Maybe MG or Rover on a good day



Actually there is a point - low sales / market share  are never an accident



And high cost does not mean quality

Quote from: "Blazor"Awesome, I so much like using a puter vs anything else when it comes to net browsing. I need a new one, Im still on XP lol.



If you're looking for something for it, I love this corner desk I have, doesnt take up much room and very functional. I have a lot of dragons, wizards, and Lord of the Rings stuff on tthe top shelf lol.




Windows XP?!

Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"I just use my android phone.

I just use my phone too. My laptop gets the light once a week.

I find it relaxing in the evening to browse at my computer at home with a cup of tea.

My situation allows .. in fact demands .. use of full blown computer most all the time



I bought what was about the best around 6 years ago and it is still a screamer as processors  have not become much faster past few years.

I got an Asus which of course gives it the Asus motherboard all the good ones use, with I7 processor and added a Solid State Drive, SSD, before taking delivery (that is blinding fast and very cheap speed I'd highly recommend)



As I'm always multitasking, I sprung for a new screen last year - LG curved ultrawide 29" .. . not huge but very  wide with LG's "mild" curve so that it doesn't feel like the ends are running away from me



No problem justifying it all as for our work we need speed and screen area - It pays to buy a good machine and up to speed if you use it hard and want it to last - It runs like most of the newest and fastest, so was good investment so far



I never use phone or other toys for internet




Hell yeah



My PC must be a mean mofo too or I'm not happy in life



Mine is far from being the most up to date, but I don't feel like I should spend one more cent on it right now, except for maybe a little more SSD storage and a new monitor



I have a Z97-K with an i7 4790, 16 gigs



256 SSD + 3 Tb of normal drives. Only thing I might add in a near future is another SSD, they're finally cheap(er) here



My NVIDIA GTX 1070 is the crown jewel of the setup. All inside a Corsair 600C, powered by a 900-watt Rocketfish PSU



My screen is an old LG 22 LED TV/Monitor, which I might retire. I might try one of those 4k, but nothing bigger than 24"



As long as I can crank any game to maximum settings on 1920 x 1080, I'm happy

That's no slug, mate .. SSD, lots o ram  and pretty strong processor



Amazing how few have seen the cheap speed of SSD for OS and main apps and large file data



BTW - great to see you again
