Is this thing actually good?
It's not a macbook, of course it's good.
>>54961686
I really want a slim laptop. But that price is something different.
I can build a proper Desktop for that much.
What if I want what this laptop has to offer, but more, and I don't care about thickness. I just need things like more ports, better battery, more storage, and user-friendly configuration

Are you downloading and deleting porn 24/7?

>the ultrawide monitor meme
has anyone here fell for it?
regrets?
Not yet, anon. I am wating for 4k 144Hz OLED HDR 21:9 monitors at an affordable price first.
I'm waiting untill GPU's really are capable of pushing those pixels in games. They're great for productivity though.
I want one really bad but I feel like I'd regret it later once I start having to see shit with black bars around it.

I'd spend the money on something that ends my eternal misery.
I thought this was appropriate here.
If it's stupid and it works it ain't stupid.
Looks like hdmi to DVI to shirty dell port
>>54960319
What is that?
Displayport to DVI to HDMI?
Why not just skip the DVI?
>>54960426
It can still be stupid even if it works!
It makes it less stupid sure. But if it's wildly inefficient and he had access to an easier method then yeah.....kinda stupid.
>mfw I'm flashing the bios
Why are the stakes so high when you have to flash your bios?
Why haven't they made a fail safe way to flash the bios already?
If you've ever bricked a mobo you know the feel.
>tfw never updated my BIOS ever
>tfw 10 year old PC
Most motherboards I've seen lately have 2 bios chips, if one doesn't work it boots from the good one.
>tfw not using an arduino to flash your bios

Is it worth getting an old Surface Pro 2 for its Wacom digitizer?
I have one and it's legit the worst tech purchase I ever made.
>>54959808
Elaborate please.
>>54959808
What's so bad about it? I'm not OP but the Wacom digitizer is really tempting since I'm an artist
Find a flaw
looks good if youre 15 years old

Fucking sick bro
Matches my Adidas tracksuit.
i think im done with windows. linux here i come
whats the best looking, or the most aesthetic focused distro for linux? i think the AUR has the most software so i guess arch based is where ill go to.
also is there any way to move all of my data from windows to linux? firefox stuff, images, text files, music, anime, movies, etc?
>pic unrelated, just current pape
If you want aur and good looking, go manjaro.
But almost any DE can be installed on any distro.
You can have KDE on Manjaro, or XFCE or even unity if you like how Ubuntu looks.
Firefox should sync across accounts of something, or you can move everything via Usb.
Try dual booting first so you can still run Windows at the same time, and just move everything across the hard drive.
>>54959531
so i could run an arch based distro with unity? i like how it looks but hopefully i can change the colors.
i forgot about firefox sync, the main issue is how i would move my data across the O/Ss, how would i do that if i dualboot exactly?
>>54959435
AUR is a user repository. It's not reliable and has a lot of rubbish in it so it's not as if you want to go to AUR all the time. Choosing a distro based on the raw amount of software alone is foolishness considering you're only ever going to use but a tiny fraction of all software available. All the important stuff is available on any major platform anyway.

Won't happen with one of the major distributions. This is bait.

How can other browsers even compete?
They can't.
No other browser has a vimperator/pentadactyl equivalent.

Why is it quite Literally impossible to pick the right smartphone in 2016? Money isn't even the problem, it's the vast variety of available phones on the market right now.
The last time i bought a phone was in 2010. You had two choices back then, iphone 4 or samsung s3. I bought an iphone 4 and it lasted me until yesterday.
Please help.
Wrong board.
Money is always the problem at /g/
Apparently you're a stupid fucking person so here's your sign.
Aside from that, the basic gist is:
You sit down and do yourself a Pros/Cons list with Pros being the things you need/require/want in a smartphone and the Cons being the things you don't need/don't require/don't want.
When your list is mostly complete, you then go doing research to find a smartphone that matches the most Pros while matching the least Cons - it's not a 1:1 perfect ratio, son, and it takes effort on your part to find the device that works best for you.
Now get the fuck out.
>stupid fucking people will be the death of us all
Get a Nexus. It always had the latest android hardware and software support, because Google makes them.
Should I buy it?
Make your own choices fag
What the fuck is that?
It's mechanical at least?
I got one from a friend for free, never used. How much do they cost?
