I'm sure that's happened to a lot of us here, myself included. At least if you ever do need to take it out for whatever reason you can.

wow, me too. Is this common?

2 1/2 laptops?
Try taking it to a coffee shop for a few hours.
A real person might even start a conversation with you.

I occasionally install a Linux distro on it out of boredom but I can't find a good use for it.
Making it some sort of server is not an option because I'm not rich enough to waste electricity.

1/2 for a netbook i bought last year with Win 8 and touch screen. I let my sibling have it. Shit was a waste.

So you're using fag coffee shop WiFi right now to post?
That's also happened to me.I even connected external monitors, a mouse and keyboard to it...
I don't remember the last time I've even moved it an inch.

Geez, dude, it's just a joke.

Why even buy a portable computer if your only reason to leave the house is work?
>>45426592

>>45426621
I'd like to see you try.

I had a W520 as my pseudo-desktop for years but the mobo is fried and I'm putting together a new tower to replace my old one from like 2007, so I'm shelving it for now. At some point I'm gonna pick up a mobo from some third party and ressurect it though, I loved that computer.

You have to make your NEET cocoon, that will turn you into social butterfly, so you can fly, flitter, and twinkle all the way too the coffee shops in your town.

My camera is shit.
Reminder that these are the people telling you smartphones are useless plastic toys.

Laptops should all be less than 3lbs/1.4kg.
>>45427469
My laptop is 1/4 inch thick, 19 inch screen, and only weighs 2.2 ounces. Get on my fucking level.
>>45427421
Dude this is awesome. How did you print that out though?
>>45427574
I think I used Poster Print Shop. Chose the vinyl print option not really knowing what it was. Turned out to be perfect.
I also wanted little Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle figures to use as play pieces but I couldn't for the life of me find something appropriate as impossible to believe as that is.

You haven't even fucking USED it if it's still in the box dumbshit.
>>45427753
>believe for a moment i'd use

commentary was on the idea of using it, not actually using it. that being said, i developed on an ipad mini at work, so get off my dick.
>>45427802
You're still an idiot for wasting money.
>>45427209
It's a Thinkpad, you can fieldstrip them and put them back together for shits and giggles if you want
>>45427421
Do you have the image you used for that? Or is it just the one you posted above and you added some shit?
I think I'm going to play this with my friends tomorrow

What's a good multiplayer that basically requires a mic but doesn't require a lot to get into?
>>45427894
I think I used this one. I didn't even remember which one I had used until I just took a picture of it.

a lot of tech is a waste of money, but shit happens and we learn from our mistakes.
>>45427644
You could also make coasters for each Pokemon and as for playing pieces, use whatever or find little figurines on Ali Baba or something. The kind used in those little machines that give you random toys.

Well, she's 60 years old now so she's no some silly free spirited hippie.
She does do this silly tarot card bullshit in the morning though...
Am I gonna die?!
>>45426491
To watch your chinese cartoons on, of course.
Also because I'm 90% sure your phone doesn't have an SD card
