  • Re: Gear Grinding 7: Really? This crap again?

    F*ing computer f*ing died and the f*er isn't even 5 years old. Ugh madface
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        My hard drive took a **** about 4 days after the 90-day warranty was up. That was $300 that I didn't need, I guess.

          My computer drank two fingers of bourbon...had to shop for a new one. Why must every laptop/2-in-1 have a keyboard for infant hands?

          I honestly was more upset about the wasted bourbon...it was good stuff :/

            Did all the tricks. Was getting blue screen of death this morning......came home later to deal with it and couldn't even get to that point. I will be honest, this was only my 3rd comp in 22 years or so. ButI now have a new one, just setting it up now. /postingfromKindle

                  Asus. Only lappys I've dealt with. My first one lasted about 7 years or so. Just a beast. I was just mad about this last one, because I didn't put it through as much as my first lappy, and it died quicker. When I bought my new one, the salesguy asked about any other models/what I use it for, and I told him, he said "Yup, Asus is what you want."

                    MY tech guy swapped out my failed hard drive with a solid state one, and this thing has run like a top ever since.

                      SSD technology is the best thing to ever happen to HDDs - no more magnetic storage platters that require moving parts to read/write. Not to mention, it makes computers whisper-quiet. Only noise now comes from fans, and even those not are as big of a deal as they used to be, as most of us move to laptops.

                      I'm going on 6 years with this laptop. It was a custom build from a company whose owners unfortunately (for me) just retired back in January. Been looking at my options, because I know this one's days are probably numbered.

                        Asus is quality. Even their cheap crap is pretty decent.

                        Dell is okay for home, but their real strength is business.

                        HP is hit or miss, mostly miss lately.

                        Avoid Lenovo. They got busted for openly pre-installing spyware on their laptops.

                        I'm on an Acer all-in-one (the compact units that look like a giant monitor.) It's been meh. Probably wouldn't buy again.

                          You Techies were the ones that clued me in on Asus. The salesperson (all three times now), wondered, "wait, how did you hear of Asus?"

                              Not knowing Bourbon and having missed the start of this it looked like mel was asking about Executive orders and your answer was a 1792 single barrel rifle.
