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
at that point macbook is def better
ye
esp since hipsters use linux on them enough to make them work pretty well with linux
>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
I haven't tried Witcher 3 tbh
