What kind of computer are you using?

Mine was bought on an installment plan and I’ve had it for almost a year now. It’s a pretty good computer, more suited for work – but now I regret not getting one that was half the price… I bought it when I had just started university, because I saw that everyone was bringing fairly good laptops. Overall, it’s lightweight, has plenty of storage, looks good, has a backlit keyboard… everything’s fine, but now I really regret not getting something at least 30% cheaper.
My model is – Asus ZenBook Series UX3404VA

I have an old HP laptop that I never really used. This year windows 10 will cease to be supported so I’m not sure what to do with it.

I use my phone for everything now.

I also use my laptop less and less… I don’t even know why—it just feels like my phone is enough for everything. @everhopeful The only advantage of a laptop is that I can type really fast, and of course—studies. But now I’m on academic leave, so…
Well, to be fair, I also played Life is Strange, but I’m subtly surprised—it’s getting harder and harder to get into games as the years go by. In the future, I might not even buy computers anymore.

I buy cheap computers usually for $300. They come with security for 10 years. I never use my computer. I’m probably gonna buy a cheap tablet the next time I need a computer. Good things.

I have a HP gaming PC that I currently use because my main PC had some troubles that I need to fix before I can switch back again. The PC that has troubles is a custom built, while the HP, well, is HP. I think brand PCs like that has some benefits, they often just work because it’s put together and tested by the companies, but at the same time, you get all that bloatware with it unless you do a clean install of your OS.

@everhopeful You could install something like Linux Mint on it. It’s known to be very lightweight and to run well on old hardware, if your laptop supports it. I haven’t tried linux before but I plan to try it out on a laptop

btw I don’t understand you phone people lol. Physical keyboard and mouse/trackpad has always felt superior to me, and also with the bigger screen and a full desktop OS. There’s probably just a perspective I don’t understand. I can understand the benefit of it being portable.

My laptop is well over a decade old :joy: i barely ever use it. Thinking of getting a new one. But hoping it will hold another year or two.

I use a 2018 iMac 27’'… It cost £2.300 when new. It’s lasted me 7 years and still going strong. never had any issues with it. I don’t want to replace it for a newer one as it’s still a good computer. When I need to get one it’ll be another iMac but brand new. I prefer the larger screen than a MacBook. I had a MacBook Air M1 and hardly used it for 2 years then sold it to the pawn shop. I still got good money for it.
