Why is there no laptop with old style form factor with ultrabook internals and a sheet battery that fills all the rest of the space?
When will the "muh thinness" faggotry end?
Because no one needs 30 hours of battery life.
The MBPr is thin and has a better battery life then 99% of the Windows notebooks.

My girlfriend wants to buy a 13 inch Macbook Air and I'm saying it's not worth the money but she doesn't believe me
What could you recommend with the same/similar specs for cheaper?
If she wants to buy it and has the funds to (as in, she's not pulling from your money) let her buy it. It's just a laptop.

We share our money at the moment, so it's in my financial best interest to make this a good purchase

Why does every company copy apple's designs?
>inb4 they're all made in the same factory
Companies could design their own products, but they just choose to use apple as their R&D.
>>45365301
Why should a company waste money on R and D when they can just copy? Apple does it all the time.
>>45365301
troll.. but still: Apple copied the iPad design, it isn't their original work. I think they even admitted that by them self, or atleast lost a court case
The tablets you posted really don't look that different from the iPad except for the presense of physical buttons
Considering where touchscreen technology was at the time, there's no surprise physical buttons are all over those things
It's a pretty natural design progression though, and your image is leaving out many of the interstitial designs that look much closer to what became the iPad
Advertising is the cancer of Internet. It pretty much ruined online journalism (pageview whoring breeds sensationalism, at the expense of journalistic integrity), not to mention all the privacy-related concerns that arise from targeted advertising.
Ad-blockers are one possible cure, but most people don't know about them. Many Internet message boards forbid discussing them, and often threaten to ban those who do.
So let's spread the word, faggots. Social media, blogs, forums, anything, just spread it.

I have never seen this happen on any of the forums that I am a member of. Which one(s) in particular?

Wow it sure is interesting that advertising ruined *online* journalism. I wonder how offline journalism escaped such a fa-

oh that's right. OP is a 14-year old faggot who doesn't know anything.

How do you keep your tech secure in a dorm room environment?
Carry laptop in backpack always
Have nothing else worth stealing
Lock your door?

Well, aside from that.
Kensington and a heavy ass desk. Deters theft, won't prevent it.
So, why was there ever a 5:4 resolution? I don't see the point.
That attitude is why we're stuck with the cancerous 16:9 standard.
>>45362583
I'm a bit of a newfag to /g/, so why is 16:9 bad?
And what possible advantage is there to 5:4 over 4:3? It's practically the same.
>>45362583
>that attitude is why we're blessed with the based 16:9 standard.
fixed, 16:9 is goat for all home uses

/g/ in a nutshell
I just broke my motherboard, cooler, and CPU while trying to build my computer. Thank God the video card is the most expensive piece in my build.
Do I just buy new ones? Can I get a warranty? I literally just bought it, first build ever.
I don't suppose there is a sticky or something I should read.
>AM3+ CPU
>FM2b socket
Consider the possibility that you are not meant to be building computers.

Don't hate on OP. Obviously its his first time doing so.

So I'm upgrading from my cheap Dell XPS 8100 and I already got a new video card and power supply. Now I need an LGA 1150 micro ATX motherboard for the new CPU. LogicalIncrements only has a full ATX motherboard so that's not useful.
Have any recommendations?
You're keeping the same case?
>>45358063
Yah, and it only fits Micro ATX.
Not worth buying a whole new case, right?
>>45358157
you couldn't be more wrong. Get a new case.
What is the oldest piece of software you still use regularly?
The Linux kernel I think

Reminder that USA sockets are the most well-designed of the worlds' electrical systems, when properly installed. Lazy electricians are the source of most problems relating to our plugs.

>can't even use an electric kettle because they only have 110v
ayy
>>45356000
Wot
>>45356000
In america I heard that for some large appliances they have to use a cord with 2 plugs because each only supplies 110V hahahaha, while each of our single plugs gives superior 220V
Its amazing that they even have big appliances at all, it must be inefficient to use such low volts no?

Hey /g/, the sales are starting to hit and I want to start pulling the trigger on my first build. How does this look? Anything wrong?

Looks good, but I'd get a full modular PSU, small cases like that are a bitch to build in. Also, switch the blue to a black, more expensive but they're better.
changed it to a fully modular xfx xtr 550, its $6 more than the evga g2 750 but i dont feel like being ridiculed for getting a psu that supplies more than twice my estimated wattage
