What kind of computers do you guys use to access this site?

Do you use an Laptop? An I phone?
Feel free to brag if you need to.
And give details, Memory, Battery life, anything.
Talk about it's features and stuff. and I guess if you've named your computer...share that if you want.

Just curious because I use a cheap, used Netbook and and even older used Ipod.

Laptop and Iphone
I use a toshiba
laptop and thats pretty much it. I dont know much about computers to brag on mine haha

Not only do I access with power; I access with style.

HP Pavilion DM4T
Intel Core i5-480M 2.93GHz (TurboBoosted)
6 Gigs DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 6370
Win7 Home Premium
Separate 18.5" Sanyo LEDTV Monitor(Extended Display)

This way, I can have chats stream live on one screen, and then all my documents, messages, charts, and data on the other and it's far cleaner.

Hn, I'm not sure if this is it, but I think I use a Toshiba Satellite E205 laptop.

a very very very old compaq computer from 10 years ago XD

My computer looks flashy as fuck, but it sucks ass, I'm saving up for a new one ;D then I'll post my boss specs.

Hehe, mine costs about $140.00. Over Craigslist, so I don't have much power or speed.
10.1 " screen
1 GB DDR3 Memory
3-cell Li-ion battery
250 GB storage

I don't know what all of that even means. I'm just reading it off of my computer.

Your screen alone would make me commit suicide lol..

Everyone knows size matters, but not when it comes to computers.

I guess I've just spoiled myself lol... But to me, size on computers is insanely important.

I'm not sure what I have. It's an HP and the screen is like...13 inches wide. That's all I can tell...by looking at it. xD

I just found this, about time they had a topic for technology! TY admen!

Have both a laptop and desktop, about as powerful as each other. Oh, and I use dualmonitor on my desktop XD

I have a laptop & desktop too. But I use my laptop more often because my desktop is sooo slow~

But sometimes I use my phone when I'm outdoors.

AMD II 830 - 2800mhz quadcore processor
15GB RAM
ATI-Radeon HD 4200 graphics card fully updated
1.5 Terabyte hard drive
34 inch LCD TV monitor

And I just finished setting up an exact copy of my computer on, so now I have two systems working at that level.

Dell inspiron mini
windows 7
intell core
all that jazz. weeeee.

Ick, a dell?

>>15 You don't want to know what I'd do for a computer like that.

>>15 And yet, your internet...

Navi, you are wasting perfectly good hardware DDD:

>>15 GDI AYA... i agree with Misu..

I. Am. Aware.

>>15 It almost hurts to see a GFX like that in there.
I guess if you don't game though...

Shouldn't we post pictures of our computers/phones/laptops?

>>22

But I do game.

>>23 I guess but this is more of a specs board, for example, if I posted a pic of my setup It would seem like i have a nice computer, however that is not the case...not in the slightest...

More importantly, are you using 2 passwords? your trip code is crazy long.

I have a Sony Ericsson Zyro phone, a 16GB ipod touch with a cracked screen, and a Dell laptop. lol

>>24 Oh




Wow.

Anyone thought about building a Hackintosh? Dual booting windows and mac 'n' such?

>>29 It's been done, but the more important question is, why? You already have windows, what's the point anymore.

>>30 The Mac OS has some things Windows doesn't, and vice versa.

>>25 No, but I did put a lot of stuff in my password to prevent people from guessing my password so quickly.

I use nothing special, just my 8G Ipod touch and my trusty computer!

Intel Core™ i5-2500 Processor, 3.30GHz w/ 6MB Cache
GeForce 8800 GTS
4 GB DDR3 RAM
2.25TB HDD
24" LCD Monitor

Nothing great, but it more than works for my needs of gaming and video editing.

Am I the only Mac user here? XD I have a Macbook Pro '13 (2008 Model)

I would say that Macs are the very heart of inflation, but that would be mean. Windows is cheap, and despite its many flaws people find ways to maximize its potential. Hence...

chromebook. It's what I use, not sure why.

Just got a new graphics card... I'm one step closer to posting my computers specs.

>>38 With graphic card is it? =)

Copying off of the box, I have a...

Toshiba Satellite M505-S4940
Intel Pentium processor T4200
14" HD TruBrite Widescreen Display with LED Backlight
4GB SDRAM, 320GB HDD

and I'm running Windows 7. I've had this lappitytop for a few years so it's a little slow and wonky and times, but for the most part it still runs fine.

mmm I use a computer to access this site. its not all that great :\
-Gateway GM5688E Desktop/PC
-AMD Phenom™ 8400, 64-bit triple core processor
-320 GB, 7200 RPM
- 2GB DDR2 Dual-Channel RAM
-18X DVD ±RW, super multi-format dual layer drive with LabelFlash™ (up to 8.5 GB)
-15-in-1 high speed digital media manager
-Integrated ATI® Radeon™ HD 3200 graphics
-Analog / digital TV tuner with 3-D combination
-Integrated 8-channel (7.1) High Definition Audio

It said all that on the side of it so i just copied all that.. honestly i'd like to upgrade the graphics card, but I don't really know how to find the right one... I added a 1TB Harddrive and 2 more sticks of ram

>>41 The 3200 series is actually quite good for 3D if you're doing things like sketchup, but if you want something better I'd recommend either the ATI Radeon HD 6370 or higher, or a NVidia GeForce series card.

If it's good then how come it runs so slow?
I'll check out those cards though

The speed isn't determined by the graphics card on its own. The processor's clock speed and the RAM BUS speed also come into play. The 8400 only has a clock speed of 2.1 Ghz. And the RAM you're using may not be the best. Perhaps another problem is that you need to run some maintenance on it?

I had to go for a cheaper laptop since I didn't have much money :( But it works pretty well except for anything involving Flash, 3D, or advanced games.

Dell Inspiron 1545
Pentium Dual Core clocked at default 2 GHz
3796 MiB RAM (they cheat when they say they have 4GB...)
Around 300 GiB of 5400RPM HDD space (which I happen to use less than 50 GiB of because I'm a neat freak)
DVD+/-RW drive
1366X768 (16:9) screen (Don't know physical length, but probably average)
Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics (which make me want to kill myself sometimes, heck I can't even play games from 2004)
Broadcom BCM4312 wireless (which also makes me want to kill myself because I have to use wireless g which gives me max speeds of 100 kb/sec and sometimes the driver crashes)
And finally...
Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit kernel 2.6.35-30

>>45 Only 5400 RPM for the hard drive? Weak.

>>46 For a machine like that, that's all he'd really need..

Acer Aspire M5100

19 inch monitor
wireless mouse and keyboard

A Toshiba Satellite A665, my laptop whom I have affectionately named Shadowlight. I got it a year ago (and it's probably completely out-of-date by now but whatever), and apart from a recently-fixed manufacturing error with the hard drive, it's working perfectly fine, and I've been running a bunch of graphics-intensive games on it with no problem.

Hey, a 5400 RPM hard drive seems to work just fine for me!

>>49 Pretty epic system. The only out of date thing on it is the processor (Gen 1 vs. Gen 2, which came out a few months ago). I'm using a 1st gen i5 as well, but it's 480M. And the graphics card on my Pavilion is an ATI Radeon, not a Nvidia GeForce, though both are pretty good.

How much you pay for it?

I got it for something like $699 after a bit of Best Buy bargain-hunting.

It seems that nearly everything becomes obsolete within a few weeks these days.

>>51 That's technology for you. I mean, just look at the iPhone, already on it's...fifth? rendition.

I paid $900 for my laptop plus another $150 for a product care plan.

I have 3 PCs. im most proud of the custom.

the first one is completely custom (and i built it myself. im only 14). a normal size, black gun metal casing, nVidia graphics card (surprised it works for my VALVe games), basically all the really good stuff for gaming, still (sadly) runs on XP... only cost about $400 for all the parts. monitor is a 20" optiquest flatscreen, 1440X900 resolution, mouse is the latest logitech wired gaming mouse along with a 3 year old logitech wireless keyboard. speakers are about.... 10-15 years old, but hold up well (still trying to get new ones), the mic i can not say is holding up as well. a $100 tablet, works pretty well, now i built it over a year ago so i dont really remember what other things i put in it.

the 2nd one is a dell my dad got from OSI. i dont know much about it but i know it was a server there. has windows 7 and very good for my gaming. the keyboard is rather basic, nothing special, the mouse is a logitech. i now have some logitech 7.1 surround sound headphones with mic. pretty good.

the 3rd is a 5 yr old compaq shuttle, has xp, had good graphics card wasnt anything special. it did what i needed it to do.

mine is acer aspire 4741g...
hehe, all sort of thing have been done to my lappy...

Lol, school computer XD
