purchase regrets general.

>cube i6 air wifi

The HP "media" laptop that my parents bough me when I was 13 that I used to game on all the way until 17. That laptop was always in the same place, a desktop would make my kid self much happier

>>
>>51657102
eh. I kinda want one. but someone gave me an older ipod so I'm gonna try and just stick with that. I just need it for listening to music and some podcasts. Nothing major or fancy.

But the screen improvement and speed improvement from old ipod (around time of iphone 3g) to current ipod touch is tremendous.
>>
>>51657025
Would you rec any chinese tablets? Read that the build quality rank is 1. Cube 2. Teclast and since both are rather shit it wont give me much hope for it to last longer than a year if I'm lucky. Seeing the shitty soldered battery inside made me cringe.
There are no comparable 4:3 windows devices though. Maybe waiting for the new mi pad 2

I ordered the G1 Gaming during black friday, had instant regrets of not getting the 390 (running triple monitor set up), picked up the package and RMA'd it while I was at UPS.

Isn't the camera really good on the last model?

It's a music player which can play games, not the other way around. The headphone out is amazing.

Just a little worse than the iPhone 6 I think.

I regret everything I ever buy
even if I really like it and enjoy it I always have this nagging thought in the back of my head, "couldn't you have gotten along without it? Or at least gotten it done cheaper?" I feel guilty that I spent the money and it's not in my bank account anymore.

apparently I'm just naturally a massive jew

Asus Transformer Prime (TF201)

>First quad core android
>Attachable keyboard with battery that can charge the tablet
>1GB RAM (good at the time)
>Decent screen
>Completely gimped by Asus' choice of horrible emmc and IO controller.

Cost me 480 Brit Bongs and it was absolutely useless. Never ever buy an Asus tablet kiddies

That's just being financially responsible.
People have been trained to spend freely and the natural urges to be more conservative are starting to come back as the economy worsens.

I enjoyed most of the /g/ product, except one for one massive reason. I bought the 120 gb zune.

Now, the product itself, the hardware, and even the software on the machine is great. Everything was amazing for the price.

The fucking computer software was fucking DREADFUL. There was also no alternative whatsoever to manually drag and drop files, no foobar extensions, nothing. I HAD to use this fucking software.

I ended up uploading my library and calling it a day. Even tho it failed like 10 times because it was a piece of fucking shit. God damn I hated the sync software.

My Nexus 7 is still decent. But it also has problems with shitty eMMC
>>
Samsung ATIV Tab 3

It was the only thing in the market I saw with a decent size, an x86 processor and light enough to carry with one hand.

And it also was the slowest piece of shit on earth. Not only is it just compatible with W8.1 and 10, it's also really, really slow. Slow enough to cry. My Note 8.0 is much more useful, my goodness.

Great into into building android roms, give it a shot.

Fuck, I even remember the serial model because I was two years searching about issues. I hate you AMD APUs, you are the worst gimmick ever
>>

I mean do you think 700 is fairly reasonable or probably the best I can get?

Yeah I'd put it up for sale somewhere, people buy cheaper as a gift or for themselves. Not full blown macfags.

I think it's a great laptop but I will never get used to the Ctrl and Command shortcuts. I also hate the sound the keyboard makes when you click a key. I love how responsive the trackpad is though, it should really be the standard for all premium touchpads but that sort of technology is basically non existent on Windows devices. The screen to bezel ratio is also very nice. Honestly if you can get used to Mac OS, you can do pretty much anything you need on it. Web, Torrent, Python, Ruby, Java and Apache are preinstalled on it and you get great battery life. I don't see what's not to like about it other than the price point and adapting to Mac OS. Discrete graphics would have been nice though.

I bought an ASUS 1080p 13.3 ultrabook and Windows just shits the bed when it comes to scaling. I just turned it off so everything would stop looking like shit, I just zoom into stuff that needs to be bigger.

It's on the higher end of what you could get, but that's through a bloated ebay auction. You could do it, but 500-650US is more likely if you want it gone by the end of the week.. That's probably way less in bongbux. I don't know if the specs would matter because I saw so many sent off for repairs that I haven't kept track for years. You can flip them for more than generic shit, definitely.

The real question is when to do it. Now is probably best, although more people are looking around with cash in hand after christmas. The tradeoff is that the market is absolutely bloated with old shit getting replaced. Don't wait until too late or it all goes to shit until after tax season or whenever people get money the government has been holding for them over there.

Got it brand new for under $500 4 or 5 months before the 900 series came out, but I don't feel like it was worth it.

It looked small in the picture, but turned out to be another butthuge heavy mouse for perma-silver morons.

The build quality is top notch though and the skates are absolute champions -- all as expected from cooler master. But hey, a well built brick can't serve as an input device.

Should have got the G100s from the get go.
>>
>>51665894
of course it wasn't almost all games are GameWorks right now and even 290 beats 780Ti. 860 often beats 780ti in GW and 970 destroys 780Ti in GW titles.
Should have waited a bit and got a meme card or 980.

They sound decent and the battery life is great, but jfc they hurt my ears so much. I'm not fucking with wireless earphones again until someone actually makes a decent pair without the awful cord behind the neck (which triggers my sperg sensitivity much more than just using regular earphones).

And I've had them on craigslist for months with no bites except for some asshole who honestly expected to get them for $30.
