Blake James
>Lenovo laptop
>shit build quality
odd.. i have a friend that has a Thinkpad and that thing is sturdy AF, even feels oldschool despite not being that old
also pretty decent for only costing 150€ on ebay
what was your first PC user?

I get a new laptop once every two year. I'm using a 500$ Samsung one now.
Lincoln Diaz
Spend maybe 200€ a year, buy a graphics card every 4-5 years
Parker Diaz
wow how did you find Jow Forums grandpa? are you enjoying retirement?
the oldest PCs i have at home are a PPC512 "laptop" (pic) and a MSX computer, but i never turned either of them on, since im scared of breaking them.
Isaac Howard
3 computers in total
One in 99, dad brought it out of nowhere, didnt even know what its for. Played rayman gold on it a lot, some bootleg age of empires 2 with most units from1, some toy story 2 but it was too big for the computer, win98, pentium 2, horizontal case.
Next came the pentium 4, shitty ram, but could play all the games the old one couldnt, xp so i couldnt play age of empires 2, very sad about it, but all the gta at the time no problem.
Then came another one, i still have it, only 2 gb of ram, i have no idea abou the graphic card, it can run skyrim with 35 mods and crahses if the order is fucked.
I updated the os from xp to 7 not 3 months ago, some chinese virus/image modifying programs started appearing installed and took the sound out when i delete them. I dont need anything better for now
I dont play games anymore and if i do, its usually old games mainly rts

>>How many years do you use a computer before finally buying a new one, or upgrading it?
Depends, rarely buy a new computer but keep upgrading my current one with new parts so basically a new computer every 12-48 months.
>>How much money do you usually spend buying a computer?
On parts this year alone around 2500 Euro with 20% off because of my job.
I don't really need to upgrade all the time but it's a hobby.
Joseph Williams
I know, Thinkpads are good but knowing nothing about laptops I bought one of those cheap low end laptops like pic related
Juan Bell
bought a new one about a month ago, spent 2200€ on it
Lucas Powell
Jesús...
Hudson Diaz
Spend like 1500-2000€ on computer parts every year.
Jayden Torres

256GB SSD (the one that is connected to PCI port, not SATA)
2TB HDD
bought it entirely with cryptocurrency
Joseph Campbell
>that keyboard
>that touchpad
well you can always try to resell it and get a decent thinkpad
X230 is pretty good and under 160€ i think
Kayden Wilson
As I said I already sold it two years ago, got myself a Latitude, they're basically the Dell version of the Thinkpad
Wyatt Nguyen
neat, looks pretty solid
its disgusting when laptop makers try to copy apple and make awful keyboards and fragile thin laptops.
Lucas Richardson
why not 8700k?
Jackson Jackson
I only buy laptops, ~700€
they just werk
Adam Watson
basically this
Kayden Jackson
I've been using a Thinkpad T60 since 2009, and I'm about to get a X201 or X220 for compiling bloatware
Christian Campbell
>Thinkpads are good
Not the cheap ones.
Jason Bell
>3071mb Gtx 1080 ti
Huh?
Logan Anderson
>>How many years do you use a computer before finally buying a new one, or upgrading it?
When a part kicks the bucket, then I replace that one aprt
>>How much money do you usually spend buying a computer?
Well, seeing as I live in Australia, a lot, because parts here cost limbs and it doesnt help that Nvidia are cuntaloons who keep driving up prices of parts.
Nolan Murphy
idk about their price policy, but isn't it more to do with dumbasses hoarding graphics cards for >muh ebin buttcoin mining
Kayden Scott
Nah, it's because Nvidia have the most powerful cards out, which are in high demand, and AMD arent in any position to compete with the 1080, so Nvidia has no reason to push out for new architecture and lower prices of older generations. Instead they're going to make a single 1080 a week, sell it for stupid amounts and keep this the norm as long as possible because money is good and competition is bad.
Kevin Morgan
Most of my computer is from 2011 (Sandy Bagina). I have some hard drives from way before that. I bought a GTX 970 a few years ago. Runs most new games just fine at near 60 fps on high settings.
Isaac Peterson
Haven't bought a "new" computer since 2011, I mostly use second-hand Thinkpads and business PCs.
For the price of a shitty pentium laptop with 4GB of ram you can get a Thinkpad with a i5 or i7 with 8 GB of RAM
Benjamin Barnes
Around 5 years between upgrades. Always buying high end CPU and TI version of gpu. Right now on 7700k and 1080ti. Why? Because i remember when oblivion and thief 3 comes out and my gpu won't play them because of lack shader version 3. That was shit feel, never again i want to experience something like this.
Juan Reed
>had a shitty PC once
>therefore spend 800€ every upgrade
huh?
you can go high end without having to goTOP OF THE LINE and you will get much more for your money for just a slight performance decrease
David Cruz
Ti is around 30% faster than non-Ti and believe me, even Ti sometimes is not enough.
Justin Lopez
got this laptop in 2013 or something. also got one from maybe 2010 that i use once in a while
