>laugh about it

Is she hiding her power level? Dell latitude is really good leltop though better than chinkpad.

Why don't you tell your friends on Reddit about it?

Knowing anything about anything means you're a fucking permavirgin nerd, get with the fucking times OP.

I regret buying a Dell Inspiron despite knowing the specs. This was before I browsed /g/.
>i7 4510U
>GT 750M
>16GB RAM
>1 TB HDD

>>52666579

She's a keeper

>>52667242
What's wrong with those specs

There's nothing you can do about it, the most effective thing you can do is not shit up message boards with green stories.

>>52667652
>>52667242
The lack of SSD is suprising in such a powerful laptop. Also the i7-U processor is the Intels new way to sell i3 CPUs as fancy fucking shit.

>>52666579
>average person has average knowledge about technology
>Why is it so socially acceptable for average people to know less about technology than me?
Because they are average? /g/ IS the technology board. Just by coming here, you already demonstrate how much more interested in technology you are, when compared to the average person.

Compare /g/'s traffic to /v/.

Or /a/.

Or even /sp/!

>>52667869
That really depends on the price he paid for it
>no SSD

Atleast she got a Dell Latitude. Thats not consumer grade, thats business grade

>>52667869
I don't know why they do this. WHY WOULD THEY MAKE A DUAL CORE I7 LIKE LITERALLY WTF

>>52667975
>ssd is meme
How the hell a super high IO rate, no moving violatile parts, and no goddamn noise is a fucking meme? What does people use for laptops?

>>52668268
Possibly the other cores broke during production so they sell it as dual core.

Some people really just use them as tools.

Not all nerds are computer nerds, OP.

>>52668347
Because SSD make everything faster. Having a fast computer is a meme. Waiting for the HDD to speed up is part of the charm.

Riddle me this, OP: Why is it so socially acceptable to be an ignorant fuck on the internet who complains about friends behind their back and calls them ignorant at the same time?
Also,
>x86 assembly.
Wow, just wow. You didn't even get THAT right.

>>52666579
>Would it hurt if people just googled whatever they don't know
That wouldn't help at all. You need to understand what's written there and that needs a bit of technical aptitude plus somewhat reasonable intelligence. If you're not intelligent enough to pick it naturally and/or not naturally inclined towards it then you won't know it. Otherwise she would already know all those parameters.
This shouldn't upset you, this is how the universe works. Deal with it or die like the rest.

>>52666579
you are fucking retarded.
Jesus some people are self entitled fucks

>Now I'm not saying people are supposed to know x86 assembly

You don't sound very much like a friend to me.

To be honest, it just sounds like you're mad that you're too socially inept to talk about anything with her besides computers, and you are venting your frustration that she just didn't care. You aren't going to impress women with your consumer tech "knowledge" and unwarranted sense of self-importance.

Thinkpads always have and always will be god tier

Sounds like you never had a girl before.

none of these things matter though.
RAM limits are not important unless you are close to using the limit of that.
CPU model is irrelevant although it is nice to know the clock speed and the number of threads.
HDD space is important when you reach the limits, most normal people reach the limit unless they stream everything.

Being proud about not knowing stuff is weird though.
But I can see a situation where these things are not important.

Even if you make applications, knowing about the system is often irrelevant unless you are making embedded systems.

In the real-world he'd just been another "ignore that dumbshit" in the eyes of others, but he'll never know as he was going to be ignored. Here he gets told what a sore fucking loser cuntass bitch motherfucker mongoloid he is when acting like this, so in some way we educated and raise ppl better than most of the real-world situations ever could.

Because i7s have 2mb of l3 per core, everything else has 1.5mb per core.

So a dual core i7 has 1mb more l3 than an i3 or i5.

Desktop i3s only have 3mb total.

I guess this is what we've come to as a society... A time when being a complete idiot and not doing any kind of thinking is not only considered acceptable, but also defended by people whenever it's questioned. A time when writing "#ResistCapitalism" on the back of your iPhone and taking a selfie of yourself in a mirror is considered the standard anti-establishment thing to do.

You heard wrong autist. She's obviously not.

Holy shit having basic info about your daily use machine isn't that fucking hard. It's not 'nerd cred' either as you put it, it's just simple info that you can be expected to have if you own a machine.
And if remembering your CPU name requires "memorization", someone obviously is suffering from Alzheimers

But you're ignorant too anon.
Do you think you could tell the specs of a laptop, apart from screen, by just using it?

Cause that/s what she does, she just uses it.

>>52674298
I agree that beyond having autism you don't need to know the specs to use the machine for most things. But when you're buying you should probably look into it tbqh.

>>52666579
Do you know what the gear ratios are, or what sized oil filter your car uses?

Do you know what model compressor your fridge has?

What about the wire gauge used in the different divisions of your home?

The pitch of the screws used in your sofa?

Do you even know what kind of ram your phone uses?

You see, it is impossible for people to know everything.

So 99% of the world concentrate on information that will make a difference to them, in the way they are living their lives.

>Average industry "expert" opinion

I am not claiming to be an expert on anything, you must have some strong legs from jumping to all these conclusions.

Mine is just the opinion of people who want to write software that's maintainable, readable, portable, and writable in a practical timespan. Assembly code is precisely none of these things.

>"oh, I want this software to run natively on <architecture> now?"
>C: install a toolchain perhaps, run a slightly different compile command
>ASM: rewrite the entire fucking thing, from scratch, in a completely different language to boot

If anything, it's people who needlessly write software entirely in assembly who are arrogant. They're the ones who think they're smarter than a compiler, don't care about people who want to use their software on a different architecture, and don't care about people who want to read or contribute to the code.

Mind you, I don't take issue with writing something in C, compiling it, then applying your own optimizations if you see a serious need and portability to other architectures isn't important.

>>52670305

>Assembly is usually very useful in embedded systems as well.

I'm very much aware, but x86 assembly? Not really. Learn ARM or something that's actually practical to write. Just look at this bullshit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings

If you're unfortunate enough to find yourself writing embedded x86 code, save yourself the hassle and just write it in C.

>>52682836
>Mine is just the opinion of people who want to write software that's maintainable, readable, portable, and writable in a practical timespan. Assembly code is precisely none of these things.
The main point of assembly is not to write code in it . It's useful to know so you know what kind of abstractions exist at that level and what your program will compile to. So you will know when something is probably very badly optimized. You can do profiling better by understanding what is going on.

Partially related, it always irked me how content creators (streamers, reviewers, etc) who aren't making shit tons of money but enough to live know barely anything about tech.

I mean, sometimes you get one who actually built their own computer. They seem alright. But for all the editing and equipment used to produce a professional show, and it be a one-man operation, you would think they would learn SOMETHING about how this stuff works.
