ITT we appreciate tech we have and are most proud of

>still runs like new, absolutely no need to upgrade
>will probably use it until there is serious physical damage done to it

The battery can't be that great at this point.
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, but with a Nexus 5.
>>
ASUS EeePC 1000HE. In an era of battery life shorter than my micropenis, it was a miracle to go all day without needing a charger. I've abused the damn thing so much but with incremental upgrades to OS, RAM and storage, the thing keeps on trucking like a boss.

Bought galaxy nexus like 4 years ago, shit is slow, dying slowly. So I thought that I should buy a new one. And I bought the 6p.
>>
>>54773701
Yea its one day maximum if i use the phone. But i am used to it
>>
>>54773660
Same, but Nexus 5.

As time went on after I purchased it, I got more reckless with it. By this point I've dropped it many times through carelessly throwing it around, but there is still no damage other than several tiny cracks and dents on the outer bezel at the very edge of the display and where the buttons are.

i have this creative zen mp3 which i bought like 10 years ago and it literally is still like new. awesome volume, great battery life, very small.

Oneplus One
Had battery issues in January
Wouldn't charge or turn on because low power
Ordered a new battery and left phone connected to charger
Phone magically fixes itself and battery is way better than before
Now have a fully charged backup everywhere I go
Easy to swap out after you remove back cover and all the screws inside
Bought the 10Ah pack which is also awesome
OnePlus FTFW

I feel you OP, changed my 2012 N4 this year for a G4, phone was perfect except for the lack of 4G and shitty photos. I changed the battery too, did get a 2015 one from amazon for like 18 bucks.
>>
>>54774088
How did you change it? Link to battery?
>>
>>54774039
Damn. I got the 200 gig one just before this was released. At least it cost only 70 bucks.

Look on ifixit for the battery replacement guide
>>
Mine lasted like a few years as well, but died last year. I had replaced the battery, and it ran for an extra month then it finally pepsid. For the time it did run, it was smooth as fuck.
I now have an Xperia Z2, and it's pretty gud.

>amd phenom ii x6 1055t @4ghz
Enough power to play games and for its age and price rendering is a breeze
>nvidia 7300gt
I was younger at the time so this was best i could get. Vram and core from 400mhz to 520mhz on stock voltage and juryrigged cooler, played games like a champ.
>note 2
I bought it used but basically mint condition for 90€ two years ago, exelent battery and pretty much everything else
>zalman cpn 9700
Boght it for my pentium D. Kept it and 4 next cpus cool without being noicy.

If by "proud" you mean proud of what it could do, rather than just proud to own, this piece of shit hands down.

I bought it for $5 in 2013 to laugh at it, with the slowest commercially available Willamette Pentium 4 and infamous RDRAM. I wanted to see the legendary shittyness for myself and bench it against some Pentium IIIs.

I ended up using it as a daily driver instead until 2015 when it blew my expectations out of the water, plodding along with 30-tab JS enabled Firefox sessions and two month uptime without a sweat, booting it and logging in was barely a problem. Everything I tried to replace it with felt no different or even slower, even Northwood/DDR systems.

In the end I only retired it because I converted my computer room into an entertainment room and had no permanent place to put it, the Sony W900 I ran on it also started giving up.

The Nexus 5 is made out of plastic. Fortunately, it's made out of plastic and easy to open up.

I've got ten more years worth of spare Nexus 4's and 5's. It's all coming up

>buy n4 a few weeks before n5 is announced
>get £80 refund from google
>happy with it
>no android 6
>could be worse

at least it still gets security updates but I'm just a little butthurt that flagship (at least for the company) phones are discontinued less than a year after launch and are basically left out to hang and dry after 3~ years, android 5 was chalk full of bugs and issues that weren't a problem in android 4 but android 4 obviously isn't getting the security updates necessary for modern phones

I'd be happy with it if I get a few more years of security updates but I wouldn't be surprised if they drop that after their next phone launch

Still awesome, battery slightly dying though.

Intel i5 2500
About 7 years old and still runs fine. Only regret is buying the non k version but desu I wouldn't over clock it even if I could.

How do you manage to remain undistracted with all those windows?
Either you're amazing at multitasking, or you're really focused on one task at a given time even given the other windows.

Android N is released in August, along with the new Nexus. He is wrong but you're simply retarded, 6p is fucking garbage.

how big is the monitor? if you're leaning forward to read text you're gonna want to increase that font size

It's 27" and the fonts are fine.

I used to fucking love my Nexus 4 but the screen cracked. I got a Nexus 6 which is great purely for the size but I wish it looked like a Nexus 4.

>>54778191
I'm using a combination of apps to reduce its usage. I have AcDisplay to wake it up when I pull it out of my pocket and Nova with Greenify to use gestures to put it to sleep with a double tap on the homescreen
