Why doesnt /g/ invest in their technology, rather than just buying affordable garbage that goes obsolete in 1-2 years time?

I paid a lot up front for this Mac Pro, but it's been my only computer for almost a decade now, and its still going strong.

Because /g/ is mostly overflow from /v/ and r/pcmasterrace these days
>>
Why don't you upgrade to Sierra?
>>

Because the cheap shit usually works better than a 1500 dollar laptop for most of the core-/g/'s needs. Programming and shitposting.
Don't forget we aren't all a bunch of hipster faggots who only have a laptop. Most of us have pretty decent specced PC's.

a computer becomes obsolete when it can no longer handle normal every day tasks.

lots of older hardware brick when running modern resource intensive browsers. and after a few years most computers can no longer keep up with modern gaymes and video editing etc.

Who decides what's normal? More importantly, who decides who decides?

How much did you pay for it? I paid 80 dollars for my laptop in 2010. Haven't paid a penny since, and I'm using it right now without issue. Eventually, I'm sure I'll have to change out the HDD, but other than that, I'm set.

I'm still on a Thinkpad T520 I bought on clearance when the Tx30s were just coming out. Something like 5 years ago now, no signs of dying yet.

Yeah. I know what you mean. I wish I had an Ouya to put on my bookshelf, just as a novelty thing. That said, it's a horrible game system.
>>
>>62076173
Same could be said for my windows PC.
I7 870, GTX 680, 12GB RAM.

It's mostly kids and NEET poorfags, obv.

>>62076181
Oh god. The feels. It's been _so_ long but it feels like yesterday

>>62076659
My ouya is hands down the most charming-adorable piece of technology I own. I regret almost nothing about getting one.
