how is this normie shit? what else would you do other than fucking code, make music and video edit, watch anime and listen to music?
>>55463121
Because normies buy 2000 dollar desktops and game on it. How is that not normal?
>>55463121
You can run mad VMs on that, so I would go with programming.

Most normies I know buy PS4 and Xbox ones.
Non-normies I know like us will do this more often then get a system
>>55463152
meh, its more about the fact that normies have no idea how to tech

forgot to mention his parents got the laptop for him in 2012.
I've found that normies hate tech advice unless they specifically ask for it

I got an Alienware laptop and don't game. I just use it for posting on 4chan and shit.
>>55463228

bought a $1,200 laptop, used it about 4 times since he bought it 3 months ago.

his laptop is capable of running gta v on high/medium? but plays it on ps4 instead.

Normies do normie things, play videogames, while non-normies will use $2000 to do compute.

Alienware owner here.
I don't understand why people think it's ok to by shit tier stuff just because you aren't always doing the hardest thing that stuff can do.
Would you buy a total piece of shit car just because you don't plan on doing any racing in it? No, you get what's comfiest and best within your budget.
>>55466244
explain. I'd like to see your reasoning
>>55466257
Most people don't know that tho, that's how this works
>>55466217
y tho?
>>55463150
But why, honestly
>>55462878
You are a normie. Nothing you do is in any way special you fuckin idiot. Just because you have interest in one thing doesn't make you different from people having interest in another thing. You just point and laugh at what you call normie to hide your insecurity with women. Get a life idiot.

God damn, projection much?
Are you upset anon? would you like to talk about it? As a community, I feel that we should talk out our feelings.
We don't need another white boy shooting up a school.
>>55470813
Anon, I salute you if you're really dealing with FreeBSD on a daily basis for a NAS.
Personally, I just don't want to deal with that shit. Linux is one thing, but everything goes to shit if you don't understand everything perfectly with shit like FreeNAS.
I accept that I don't have the time or energy and I just bought a Synology like a pleb because it just werks™

The fuck is wrong with netflix?
I haven't seen anyone with a house phone in years, even my grandparents don't have a damn house phone.
>>55462878
Damn right i spend a lot on a laptop for notes and normie book. That shit lags and i get fucking tilted off the earth. i fucking hate lag. Damn it pisses me off. I overbuy to avoid it.
>>55471969
most games are above 18, anon. In fact, the average is 31 years old.
>>55472318
gamers* fuck me.

>>55472274
>Streaming media
>>55462911
This. Especially if you live in an area with lots of tourism. Normies won't be able to make calls due to limited bandwidth, but you're house phone is on a private line.

I should open an IT shop and rip off boomers, seems way too easy.
>>55462878
any and all consumer grade laptops are pure shit these days so it's not like they could make a good decision if they wanted.
also, netflix is cheap as fuck and more convenient than even piracy.
>>55462931
>compiling software takes powerful hardware
Yeah, maybe if you're running a fucking build server and you're doing multiple compile jobs at any given time.
>owns a computer

I don't understand. Smartphones are great as a secondary device, but a computer is much more usable and performant.
