Do we have any other computer nerds here?

[Tyler]

I think I've been through it all:

-Lame Dell computer from the 2000s
-Original white MacBook
-Newer MacBook Pro
-Custom build gaming desktop
-Alienware gaming laptop for when I joined the Marines
-Chromebook
-Very highly upgraded MacBook Pro touchbar edition (regret this)

And now currently, a Razer blade rig seen below. What are you guys rocking? I guess I have too many hobbies...

 

[Greg]

Yes another one here.
I've been doing I.T. Support for little over 35 years now.
Damn I feel OLD now.
I also love gaming like you seem too.

I have that giveaway computer - it is Paige’s. We built a rad his/hers battlestation (I need to take a pic). I hate the MacBook because it is an overpriced underpowered gimmick.

Cant wait to see a good battle setup!
Yes apple hater!
Funny story I went to a apple store with a buddy cause he's a fanboy , buying a new macbook guys going over everything so my buddy tells him I'm a windows fan and hate the apple.
Apple employe : ask me what you dont like about apple
Me: to expensive for what you getting , your operating system is ok no better or worse then windows , but your price is just unrealistic for the sub par spec
Apple employee : well I'd like you to find something that has better specs for less
Me: grab my android out 10 seconds later
Here best buy is selling this Dell for 500 bucks with better specs ....
Apple employee: well can window do this shows me there photo editing software
Me : no it doesn't but I can buy photoshop and 3 of these dells , have a better software have a 3 computers and still be less then what you want for this mackboook
Apple employee: well you win this round
And after that my buddy still spent 2900 bucks buying the stupid thing

i mean i absolutely love windows and the versatility towards application. However for my current goals, the Macbook was a great choice. Mine is very decked out with 32gb of RAM which makes rendering photo/video a dream. the 5k retina display cant be beat either. It was also free so cant complain, my dads company needed an upgrade so he gave me his 18' macbook pro with touch bar

 

[ShikyoX]

Free is always good , I could go either UI
But price is a big factor funny part is my buddy literally deos nothing with his macbook but watch Netflix in his deck

 

[Tyler]

I do like Apple OS (Mac and iPhone). But the hardware, while physically beautiful, is what I said before. I guess that means a Hackintosh build would be legit.

iPhone > Android though. But otherwise I don’t like Apple anymore lol (was a big Apple fan in 2007).

LMAO i mean for 2900$ i could build an ABSOLUTE BEAST of a machine.

 

[moostache]

I nerded out pretty good a few years back. Still build my own now, but don't really play much anymore. This rig is still running strong though.

Ewwww wow in 2019? But after the first raid came out I did it for like 3 weeks and just didn’t have the desire to play anymore and nothing was motivating me to come back like usually, and I got a max level for every class on both factions is how much I played

Are you talking about BfA or Vanilla? But yeah, BfA is trash. Still relaxing for the wife and I to get on like once a week or less.

Edit: Also, I don’t play any other games at all. I used to love Overwatch but I don’t touch that anymore either.

2900 would be an insane build for sure, I mean I like to spend some money every now and then but man 2900 bucks to watch Netflix on you patio people's ey

I Agree, Apple Mac Book are over priced for what you get in return.

 

[Greg]

If you want to play Destiny 2 or WRC 7 on PS4 let me know and send a Friend request.
My on line name is CEPTOR87

 

[itzWicks]

IT Specialist here. I live in both Windows 10 & Mac OS environments. Somewhere in my living room is an android tablet. While I am no gamer, I do miss the flight simulators of old, along with the keyboard controlled games of Fury3, Hellbender, and Terminal Velocity.

Serious question: Has anyone figured out an economic way to convert existing DVD libraries to digital storage on a SSD? I would love to go minimalism in my home office and not have multiple bookshelves full of hard copy media.

 

[hallux]

I've got myself a custom built computer, it's a little dated but the basic specs are i5 6500, 16gb ddr4, 1060ti 6gb. I commonly play Overwatch, FiveM and / or Apex Legends. I've been slowly learning Lua for FiveM to code my own shit... I have two HD's, ones a 1tb HD and ones a 128gb SSD thta I need to replace here soon.

 

[Nick BBP]

You have chosen some very good components. You might want to check into OVERCLOCKING the Video, CPU and on board MEMORY.
You could be surprised what it will do.. ?

That’s dope! About WoW: a HUGE content patch just came out this Tuesday.

You also might want to try GTA V which is still extremely popular. I don’t play it though.
