What kind of computer do you have?

[Felly]

I have a Gateway that I picked up at Walmart on the state tax free weekend a few years back. (Side note that computers aren't tax free in this state, but apparently Walmart was doing them tax free that year. xD) Not sure about all the details on it, but it's done me pretty well for the most part. Gave me a bit of a blue screen issue in 2013, but that was because of my graphics card being outdated I think; it stopped doing it and hasn't done it since after I updated it. The battery on it is also shot, and I need a new one, but it works fine if I leave it plugged in. It could be worse, but it works fine so I'm not too fussy.

I think my next computer is going to be a Macbook since I apparently need one for my school's graphic design program. n_n That's a way's down the road though, so I'm not too worried about it right now.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad, which is actually a really good laptop for the price it was. Three years later, about a week ago, it finally happened. My hard drive borked out. So, I've been working on replacing it with a larger, faster drive and getting all my stuff moved over to it. It was fun at first, but now I just want it fixed already. Windows is being a pain to install.

I built my computer. So I can't really give a brand. But I have an Acer laptop!

Wow there are some beasts in here :D

I just got a new laptop. Bought it second hand from eBay!

It is a Clevo! With...
16GB RAM
i7-4710MQ
Nvidia GTX 970M 6GB
250GB SSD
1920x1080 resolution

I think I got a really good deal on it. It's only a few months old and still under warranty. :D My friend was formatting it for me last night, so I get to try it out later today, wheee! I can finally play Age of Empires 2 without lagging. xD

Wow, that seems really good for a laptop! Like, it could actually run games and stuff. Hell, if I'm reading everything right, it seems comparable in specs to my gaming desktop.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Yeah, it's a gaming laptop brand! I tried it out with portal 2 the other day and it was running brilliantly. I think its supposed to be able to play the newest games, but probably not on max settings. I'm really happy with it so far. It's awesome being able to start it up quickly and stuff opens quickly. My old laptop is so bad compared, I had no idea xD

Oh no, with specs like that it should run newer games at max just fine. Mine are pretty similar and I can run games like FF14 at max settings and run 80-120+. I high populated areas in mmos it's expected to drop and hits around 40. In places where it matters though like dungeons there's no issues. It should be able to run games like MGS V at max from what I've seen.

(It's issues like this I hate about buying new computers for). So many pains (seriously I must have the worst luck with computers).
Once I get my laptop back from repairs I'll be able to test that. I just hope this time they actually fixed it and got it to work right. Why they didn't make it right in the first place is beyond me. The part that's got me kinda....well displeased to put it lightly. I asked them what they did to fix the issue after they sent me a tracking number (I did even mention I already received a tracking number in the email) and all I get back is s message saying "your RMA has been complete. Youcomputer has been sent to you. Here is your tracking number." The fact they avoided my question really worries me. Even after replaying I never received anything back in response (not counting the weekend) it's been 3 days time since when it took a day to receive the first status update.

EDIT: Got it back now and the issue is still there. So I'm gonna be returning this defected computer. No since in having a computer that is brand new and parts don't work. Especially when it gets back from a repair from the company and is still present.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Oh cool, well I hope it can run lots of things. So far it's been really good!

That sucks that they sent you a defective laptop and then didn't even fix it properly... I hope you're able to get it all sorted out! Sounds really frustrating! :/

[Chakramaster]

I'm still trying to dispute the process because they have a policy in returns that they don't pay for shipping back to them. Making me have to spend $65 on a product I barely got to use and didn't work properly. It sucks, but thanks and hopefully it will all work out soon.

Gotta find a replacement now...another long boring process.
