consumer shit is so good lately tho

like I'd go macbook over elitebook

just for build quality

hehe

>macbook
>on neetbux

lmao

the whole point of biz laptops is they're cheap and disposable yet good spec

>not having a part time job AND autismbux

but... business laptops aren't usually cheap

they kick you off if you take a part time job

sucks

not in canada :^)

I usually get older ones, like 2nd gen i5 older

or core duo

Right, refurbished and used business laptops are great value

works ok, I only use laptops for browsing in bed, do my video and other stuff on main desktop

couldn't afford a new thinkpad and wouldn't want one, £1000+ for a weird chunky macbook clone/thinkpad hybrid

they lost their way with the chiclet keyboards

>amd stepping up the drivers this much lately

I was going to go nvidia

but amd and their pajeets have stepped up

>the gpu runs so hot pajeet can't even hold onto it when showing it to linus

that gpu is super tough; you can throw it across the room, it will still work

during the 970 3.5gb scandal AMD did that stupid "IT HAS 4GB FOR REAL" campaign and for some reason I managed to get a new r9 290 tri-x from a fireworks shop

(because it's so hot it'll explode into fireworks lmao) for £200

the nearest 970 was £270

thanks amd

I got my R9 290X for £158 lmao

lol i bought a 960 for $250 canadabux before out dollar went to shit

i got bamboozled

where'd you get it for £158?

A longer story, but a friend bought it, turned out to be defective.
She didn't want to deal with RMA, so I suggested I'd buy it for that price, because I thought I could fix it.
It turned out that I could fix it. I should just flash a BIOS from another card.

did you notice a big change with crimson?

I had buyers regret until they started using those drivers

fixed a ton of issues for me

Not really, no.
Nicer interface, but nothing big in terms of performance.

weird, witcher 3 jumped from shitty fps to buttery smooth for me
