Bought a 6700k when I had a perfectly good i7 920.

I just wanted an upgrade.
>>
I bought an iPhone 6s for $630, with a black Otterbox case for another $50.

I had a 5s before that but I lost it when I got arrested, and I refused to have anything but the newest.

I rationalized it by saying it's the only iPhone with 2 GB RAM, and the camera would be great for taking dick pics.

Meh. I had a 8.3''(samsung) and 10.1''(LG) tablet before. The bigger one was much better to use relaxing the couch surfing the web or to help me study. Smaller one was only better at being portable.

This iPad Pro your comparing to is the 12" model. Problem you have though is that you are using windows on a tablet. That is just poor thinking.

I never said or implied anything of the sort. Windows 10 is perfect on tablets. I'm talking about SIZE. I read full screen magazines on it and it's perfect but it seems a bit big at times.

Not that guy but I have a 9.7" iPad Pro and I love it. It doesn't feel large or cumbersome at all, probably because it weighs nearly half of what the Surface Pro 4 weighs.

The 12.9" model feels goofy to me though, which is why I held off until the 9.7" was introduced.

I hope you're happy with the new 1970 bug.
http://www.redmondpie.com/wi-fi-networks-can-brick-pre-ios-9.3.1-devices-with-new-version-of-1970-bug/

If you have 64 bit device update to 9.3.1, its just less of headache from what I've seen on my friends phones. Also to let you know 9.0.2 on my iPhone 5 hasn't been the most stable of jailbreaks (although I only got started with iOS 8 because of wanting to severely restrict bandwidth to save power, since I was working outside jobs at the time).

I have an early 2008 15" MBP as well. Although the motherboard broke on me for some reason while I was browsing 4chan and then walked away to brush my teeth. Had it for 4 and half years. Been wanting to get a new mobo though because from what I've read (could be wrong) the core 2 duo is free from the intel me botnet. Would be nice to put snow leopard (although nothing supports it these days)/openbsd dual boot. I don't even know what supports sl these days since chrome just dropped support and firefox is becoming a chromium clone at some point.

I bought the nexus 9 because the nexus 7 was awesome. Total waste of money, I used it but the size and screen ration were shit, the 7 was better overall.

I also bought a ps4 and have barely touched it, I mostly game on PC so it was a waste of money as well.

Acer Predator 15

I actually fucking love it, but it was expensive
Still love it though

Just that I can't really afford it, even though I have no expenses, and had a few k in the bank to spend on "uni supplies", so I bought a gaming laptop

Only problem is I only really play shit like AoE2 which literally worked on computers made 17 years ago

I used to play intense graphic games like Skyrim, Witcher 3, Fallout 4, GTAV, but I suddenly stopped, and get bored when I play them

tldr: Bought expensive gaming laptop when I loved playing graphic intense RPG games, but have now gotten bored of gaming

It all depends on what you want to do with your tablet. If you want to use it as a PC, no, an iPad is not for you. If you want to use it as a tablet, it will suit your needs just fine.

I fall into the latter group. I already have a powerful laptop that does computer things extremely well, so I see no need for my tablet to do laptop things too.

And by the way, iOS can in fact download files, but only to the storage of apps that can open the file in question. So for example, if you click a link to download an ePub file you're given the option to download it to and open it in iBooks.

Don't use an arduino just rectify the audio signal and drive the motor from that with a mosfet.

>>54053276
They're not mech but they're not $9 generic USB keyboard rubberdomes either. They're high-grade domes augmented with springs. I think topre owners just don't want to be thrown into the same vat as $9 logitech users, which I think is reasonable.

Bought a $1,000 iPhone 6+ when it first came out because my iPhone 5 messed up. I didn't want to be locked into any carrier for any amount of time and got on a pay-as-you-go plan with T-Mobile, then Verizon. Plan to use this phone for a very long time although I now want a smaller phone.

>>54054993
Why? You can't even play video on that one like the 5th gen classic (first iPod I got). Should have got the 6th gen 160 gb (last iPod classic apple sold). Or at the least a iPod touch 5g.

Similar boat here except the size doesn't bother me much. Having a large phone is a little redundant now that I also own a tablet but I doubt I'd drop all the way back down to an iPhone SE - at most I'd drop down to a 7 or 7S. The 5S form factor seems so tiny now.

Yeah, I recently bought a tablet too. I don't think I'll get another phone for a while. This one still functions just fine, although I recently got it replaced because my original's mic messed up. So due to that I'll probably have this phone for another few years.
