What kind of computer do you have?
My laptop has been getting slower and slower... I want to get a new one that I can play games on soon. So I thought I would ask you guys what kind of computers you have!

I came in like a wrecking ball...
I have an early 2011 Macbook pro that I have been borrowing from my stepdad for the last year. I plan on getting myself a new one and spending quite a bit on it when I get a job. Horrible for gaming but decent for most other things, which I am happy about. Couldn't go back to windows now. I just couldn't.

I like the idea of Macs, but I have tried one and found it really confusing xD Even just figuring out where the mouse buttons were! I guess it's something you would get used to though. I feel like it's probably less of an issue these days but do you still find software incompatibilities to be a problem with Macs?

Only with gaming. I use firefox, skype, spotify, office, iTunes, VLC, BitTorrent and other generic programs and they all work fine. Only issue is with games. But it still plays minecraft, Civilization V and Goat Simulator so I don't mind. And I prefer iMovie over windows movie maker and such.

I have some sort of Toshiba laptop. It's getting older too though so I'm thinking about getting a new one in the nearish future. Honestly, don't even know what kind of laptop it is, but I think it was a gaming laptop (an older one though, so modern games can't be run full settings </3). Either way, I really like it. My dad has a Toshiba laptop too and always buys Toshiba. They make some really good laptops, honestly. Much better than my last laptop which was an HP (HP laptops aren't good compared to others, don't go HP for laptops). My last laptop got an update from HP for HP products which bricked the CD drive and audio. D':

A few months ago I got an HP gaming computer. It's got a 4 Ghz quad core processor and a good Nvidia graphics card (Forget the exact model).Love how HP let's you customize the computer. I only gave it 8 GB of Ram figuring it would be better to put more money into the processor and just upgrade the ram later if needed. I was even able to get windows 7 and avoid the nightmare that is windows 8. I have two two terrabyte hard drives, which is really more than I'll ever need, I really just got the second hard drive to make backups, and I can't imagine that I'll ever hit a point that those two terrabytes in the main hard drive won't be enough.

When I transferred to my new uni, it became VERY clear that my old laptop wouldn't survive Photoshop... or Maya. (I had used a Desktop mainly prior- never /needed/ a laptop before).
So I got a new computer! It's an Asus with Windows 8 (which isn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be!)
- Quad Core Processor! (Intel i7)
- 24 GB Ram (wanted 32, but store didn't have the 16GB sticks at the time- I plan on upgrading later if it ever becomes necessary)
- NVIDIA Geforce GTX 860m Graphics Card
- SSD Drive in addition to a hard drive
- CD slot (this seems to be dying in laptops- I really wanted one)
Yes, it's a gaming computer- but it's really for my major! I swear! ='D Maya can kill computers. So can After Effects. I run both at the same time cause I'm crazy. Sometimes with Skype, Firefox, and PS open too.
I'm still trying to find out how to turn on the second fan on this thing. xD

The Queen of Shaymin

I have a Macintosh but without looking at it I can't tell you everything about it. All I know is, it's from 2008 and it was once my mom's boss's computer, but he gave it to my mom, and she gave it to me. It's got like about 20 different Adobe programs and Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. It's actually a very nice computer and it runs pretty quickly. The only downside is, I think it's too old to use live stream to stream because I can close all the open apps and still use 100% CPU. Either way, I just have to have my mom tweak with the computer every once in while and it runs faster than my mom's Macintosh.

Cheers and good times!
Well, here's my fluff:
CPU: Intel Core i7-990X 3.46 GHz
RAM: 12GB
VIDEO: 2x NVIDA GeForce GTX 550
DRIVES: #1 128GB SSD. #2 500GB
Unfortunately, it's starting to show it's age when it comes to some of the newer games. It plays MOST things pretty well, but occasionally it hits a few snags. Metro: Last Light was one game it absolutely couldn't handle at all and I ended up having to uninstall it.
The mouse and keyboard used to be Razer before I swapped them for Logitech ones. The keyboard was HORRIBLE. It's firmware was so bad it was giving me blue screens of death. And the mouse was glitchy and didn't work have the time. Hate to say it, but Razer stuff may look cool, but it doesn't do was it's supposed to do.
