Almost positive that comes with a warranty. If its true it failed like that then you were just incredibly unlucky
>>56043069
I fell for the 1 TB Seagate Barracuda meme
>>56043945
seagate is better than getting memed by the wd cavier green or blue meme
>>56043941
>used t61 from a guy who had 20 of them from his small business

SSDs are great in combination with an large HDD for your usless stuff
>>56043069
SSD is only good on a laptop.
Not worth it in a desktop
>>56043069
I'd guess built-in bluetooth in laptop.
I use it like once every two months to transfer a picture from phone to lappy and that's it.
I fell for the tablet meme.
I bought a Windows tablet because I already have an Android phone and I liked the idea of running desktop apps on a tablet. I also intended to use it as a media machine. I barely used it and sold it, then bought an Android tablet. Again, I basically only use it for reading e-books and watching movies in bed, which I rarely do.
Fuck.

Android meme, its a botnet. Will install ubuntu on my nexus 6p.
>>56044782
ubuntu is barely a functional mobile os and as much of a botnet as android. good luck with that.

This
Getting an SSD for my rig was the best decision I made when building it. I don't care much for the boot times but they make the system far more responsive when running anything.
>>56044782
CM13, F-Droid, Adaway
That's how you run Android without the botnet
Pre-built PC :^(
>>56043069
headphone amp
>>56043069
GTX 980

Forgot pic.
Buying any x80 GTX card, be it the 980,780,680 etc.
>>56043069
SSD
8GB RAM is enough
Lenovo IdeaPad G50-70
>cucked ultrabook dual-core i7
>Radeon R5 M230
>1366x768
>glossy screen
>when playing vidya and even when 100% fan RPM + active cooling pad (200mm fan) the keyboard and palmrest are still warmer than skin temperature
>>56043069
Mechanical keyboard. I think I would have been just fine with my Sidewinder X4
>>56043959
>>56043945
Maybe but it's also worse than the Hitachi Ultrastar meme.
>>56046071
Which one is the best to buy usually? Used included? As a balance between power consumption, noise, non gimped bits? x70?
Thinkpad
Arch linux (it was great until it stopped working for no reason)
Audio technica ath m50x
>>56046935
>Thinkpad
What the fuck? One of the few memes I'm glad I fell for. What do you dislike about it?
>>56046964
The screen is doing weird stuff, the touchpad is very bad, cant really use it and it gets loud (fan) very quickly
Maybe I just got a bad device
But the keyboard is the best laptop keyboard I ever typed on
Might give it a second chance just because of that
>>56043069
tablet. a thinkpad is much better and does not have android shit.
>>56043945
I fell for 3x 3TB
>>56043854
>used hardware
your knew the risk
>>56047072
>the touchpad is very bad
I never use it so wouldn't know.
>it gets loud (fan) very quickly
Might have dust buildup. Try cleaning it. Thinkpads are great because you can easily pull them apart.
liquid cooling

I need that much space for my anime, how is that a meme?
