Do you have an older motherboard, or do you use a type C adapter?
my usb ports are always powered even when pc is off
why would i use a type c adapter?
and no its a new mobo
b450 aorus elite
Some motherboards have thunderbolt ports that let you plug in both the display port and USB cable into a type C port with an adapter
thats a fat SOME for ryzen lol
i think there are like less than 5 am4 boards that have thunderbolt
cuz its an intel standard
I used to have to unplug and plug it in again on ly laptop, I recall it having to do with my USB C hub
I haven't used AMD for a while
my phone has both usb c and dp in one
I was burned by bulldozer
My last AMD CPU was the FX 9590 black edition
toasty
I had a beefy aircooler, too
5 GHz on 32nm boi
But it ran so poorly my pc would just freeze constantly, and I had to restart
yikes, fx
4ghz+ on 6 cores and still performed like ass 
So I switched to Intel, then I was stuck on that motherboard for a while with a 6700k , lost that pc when my apartment was burglarised, got an Intel laptop, then I built a new pc with some of my friends spare parts to save money, so I ended up with a 7700k
amd be like fuck it, throw more of the watty watts at it and call it a day
intel today
yeah lol
I miss AMD, though
ryzen now is stronk
The first pc I built myself had a phantom II
I'm switching to AMD hopefully by the end of the year
thats even more of a yikes than the fx 
vega 64 is the same story. just pump more power into the core and job done
that thing drew like 300w right?
meanwhile 2070 will outperform it at half the wattage almost
yeah
I've got a 3070 now
which is why it was gone for first months after launch cause darn miners
on a 7700k?
Yep, bottleneck city, baybee
yep
i got 2080 ti and 8700k
the 8700k is vastly better than a 7700k tho
ye
I was using a 1660 Super
its got 3x as many threads lol
I only ever intended it as a temporary card
Going to stay on the 3070 for a while
do you have resizable bar enabled
I've at least manage to overclock my 7700k to 4.8,might be able to tweak it a bit higher
I pushed my 8700K to 5.0, but 5.1 is unstable always
Might delid my 7700k after I've replaced it
Just for fun
Try to get it to 5.5 or something
See if you can beat my single core
in geekbench
it's not that high
better than zen 2 but worse than zen 3
For now I'm happy with what I have, it's not perfect, but I make it work
And it'll be fun to see my GPU running without bottlenecks next year
for ages ive wanted to buy a baggie of old cpu's A. cuz i want to make a cpu keyring and i also want to delid it and play around with it
would be a cool keep sake
you could of had my old pc's cpu for free. it was a R3
oh
bro if i could find a broken epyc or TR i would buy that shit up
how would u turn a cpu into a keyring tho. what would u do to make it actually be attachable to a ring ?
kinda curious
drill a hole in it
why would it be dangerous ?
you can get really nice cpu's that are dead for next to nothing
imagine the flex. my keyring is more powerful than your pc :)
Hmm, not a bad idea
dead gpu
Lol
This makes me kind of sad inside
Dead GPU earrings
Dead Mars II earrings
God, who remembers Mars II?
can you forcibly remove a GPU from the PCB ?
cuz if you can, that would be so much better than a cpu
If I find my old phantom 2 I might turn it Into something
Actually, I know where my fx 9590 is
now imagine a fx 9590 but much lower clocks and less threads
then you got ps4/xbox one
lul
meh doesnt look as good
python why are you so slow sometiems
the coding language?
Well I'm kinda shocked
the 5800x is still in stock
not being scalped as hard as them gpu's
for msrp price
did you ever get the 3060
Sadly not

cynic in me says AMD is pumping out more 5800x to sell the weakest chip of their lineup
when i was in stockdrops for any amd cpu announcements i constantly got 5800x pings, but maybe a 5600x every once in a great big while
Could be
when a 10850k has been similar price for MONTHS (sometimes even lower) is a shame
10850k has similar performance, 2 more cores, but of course high power draw and a 5800x will win in lighter titles like csgo/valorant/fortnite
once amd turned in their good guy card intel is now the value king, fucking weird
python aint slow, your code is 
Well, the yield is usually higher for weaker gpu's, no?
Like, more gpu's per wafer
So when there's high demand and low supply, it makes sense they focus on getting as many gpu's per wafer out there
I posted a link earlier you can get the 10850k on back order at b&h for 33...6? 336 iirc and you can get a 20 dollar off with one of their coupons
I only just noticed this but
You know your skinny when
When you have a spinal imprint
In your chair 
Good chair, lacking a bit in rgb
Idk how I only just noticed the dent from where my spine has been
skinny moment, never had that
same
im skinny


AMD Radeon RX 6700 delayed? Cowcotland claims that cut-down Navi 22 is not launching with RX 6700XT. AMD announced its reveal event for March 3rd, and it was believed that AMD could be showing more than just one card, according to Cowcotland, however, that is not the case. AMD is would allegedly only showcase one […]
hm
RX 6700 XT coming in March with 40 compute units, 12GB
RX 6700 non-XT coming in April/May, 32-36 compute units, 6GB (12GB possible)
Probably the exact same lineup as last gen minus the VRAM capacity
RX 6700 6GB better be ~$250 msrp
If not the 3050Ti will likely run it down in value
6700XT is the 3060Ti destroyer
everyone probably just waiting for amd's announcement of fidelityfx super resolution
Super Resolution is already available but there's a new version being announced on March 3rd
New version gonna be a massive overhaul iirc
you can replace the thingy or to get a new mouse
Well its warrnaty time
Took corsair last year to replace one of my keys that broke for no reason like 10-20 days
ok it started working now after unplugging it for 30 seconds but I ain't trusting it getting it replaced
join the club of people that get fucked over on corsair mice
Intel Xe 4-tile HPC GPU to be a serious threat to Nvidia and AMD in the datacenter and server side of things
Rumored to be more than twice as powerful as Nvidia GA100
Thing is giant
in some places intel is cheaper than ryzen
here i5 10400 is VERY much cheaper than ryzen 5 3600
so its convenient
They are making dedicated cards to consumer soon @glossy plinth
10400f i guess...
i doubt anyone will use it
Yeah but H410 and B460 motherboards wont even support 11th gen @fallen harbor
You can pair a Ryzen 5 3600 with a $60 ASRock A320 motherboard and still have a chance to upgrade to a Ryzen 5000 CPU in the future
i would be very surprised if people wanna opt for a320 not b450m
B550 and X570 is what I'd go for
prices dont really drop here so B450 costs the same as when they launched originally
58 USD with tax
so might aswell buy b550 here
75 AUD for B450 chipset that's a stellar deal wtf
Surprised to see a board with VRM cooling at that price
I have b450m pro m2
More stuff than the HP omen ryzen mobo
69bucks
nice.
lul
I paid 220 euro for my Z370 back in 2017
the ram cost 250 AUD as well. 2x16GB 3000mhz CL14
i can get a 4133 or higher for the same price

32gb overkill
32GB isn't overkill
i use 29gb for gaming
It really depends on what you're doing
3600 cl14?? must be expensive
one single game can eat a lot
32GB RAM is the futureproof sweet spot imo
my city in CS won't even load if I have 16 GB
lol
☠️
im defo gonna be getting 32GB ram in my next pc. tarkov uses all of my ram rn
shocking
for normal users, it is overkilled. but for gamers, maybe not
ye
my g502 that was water damaged and didn't work for a few days now works perfectly
Big W
For most users 8 to 12 GB
#battlefield-legacy-titles maybe anyone knows solution
16 GB for most games
my pc uses 7gb with microsoft edge (chromium) already
Pretty wild to think about that 4 GB ram laptops are still being sold when my laptop had that 10 years ago
mine got upgraded to 2x4gb in store for free
nice specs bruh
4GB ram laptops are a bad buy
they are so laggy
thanks but not really. it works and im happy with it for another 5 years also
Mine uses 570 MB in linux, 2.6 GB in windows idle
I got r5 2600 gtx 1060 3gb
3gb is a big ripoff
I am a firefox user though so I avoid chromium lul
It’s enough for bf1 high settings
80fps avg
maybe 75
3GB one hits into vram limit in some newer games
plus it has fewer cores than 6 GB one
i always run it at 3440x1440 at 144hz with recording on. only got 120fps
I get 200 fps in BFV at 2560x1440
8 minimum or more
he got 2080ti
wtf
my pc can get 110-120 at 2560x1440p
I kinda want ultrawide
i can get 100-130 FPS on low settings at 1440p on a 1660super loll
i wish
My 24 inch monitor smol
please get a curved ultrawide display
my muchaco, you can get a decent pc for cheap now
cheap?1k?
or less
my monitor is 24 inch TN but 1440p 165 Hz
that’s expensive
My monitor was 1k 
pffft
coz ultrawide without a curve screen is really uncomfortable to look at
Before 2018 I used a 768p 26 inch TV 
I got 27inch 1080p TN 1ms samsung 60hz
i got a xiaomi 34" (VA) that has a samsung panel
mine was 500 usd
i literally got 4 monitors in 9 months
I am
i got a 4K IPS for 298 AUD, 1440p 144hz IPS wide gamut for 399 AUD and this xiaomi 34" for 500 AUD
selling my car
im over 18
I think my next monitor is ips or VA ultrawide but idk if I want curved or not
broke student
relateable
VA ultrawide is cheap
IPS ultrawide will cost twice as much
I paid more for my meds than I did my pc
☠️
if your gonna buy an ultrawide, get an ips
coz high end VA looks similar to high end IPS
if its not ips, you just trolling
but if you cant afford for that, go for VA
a litle saving wouldnt hurt
Imagine TN curved ultrawide 
still depends on whether you think paying twice as much is worth it, not talking about 200. it is starting from 800
LG website has a typo
the only thing i like VA is black colour is actually in black colour, unlike the infamous greyish black from IPS panels
still, talking about low to mid end IPS, which is about 350USD
Contrast far higher on va
the only screen that i have, without those issues is my macbook IPS screen
the black looks like black from VA panel, and no IPS glow
is oled better than ips?
oled isnt really for pc
yes but very expensive with monitors
i have tn
i had a thought about buying an oled monitor but i was confused
i like how it looks like on phone. i would rather to have an ips screen on my phone rather than oled
Oled monitors are pricy
i remember the ipad air 2 (9.7" 1536p) display cost 77USD to make
u can get insane pcfornthat
an small 5.8" oled screen cost over 150-200 USD already
RTX 3050 Ti on the same GA106 chip as RTX 3060, only 12% lower CUDA core count, 6GB GDDR6 @15 Gbps, $199 MSRP
huh
Phillips has a rather cheap 3440x1440 ultrawide
Not one I'd buy but didnt expect one in that price range
this cost just a bit more than my current monitor
if it is a curve screen, it will more likely be sourced from samsung
and my current monitor is 24 in TN lol
the phillips one isnt
that doesnt have a shitty design
better to get a curved one rather than not curve
coz in game screen will look like, straight line
huh
a 500 usd ips ultrawide
dunno if it has large drawbacks though
besides being 75 Hz
there is no point getting a 75hz monitor for gaming
unless your el cheapo
for the price range tho, people are more likely getting a 144hz VA
theres also this
although ive not heard of that brand
oh its an old japanese pc brand
Polaroid sell these tvs nowadays. if you can remember the instant camera from the company
thats the only reason i know the word
but i also thought polaroid was the generic name for the cameras not a specific brand
this is pretty much how we call things. referring Polaroid as instant film. Google as the method to search online
ipad referred as tablet (android tablets were used to be called as "ipad")
Monopolies
derek is educating us
google tv is not that much different then android tv
RTX 3050 Ti uses the same GA106 chip as RTX 3060, only 12% lower CUDA core count, 6GB GDDR6 @15 Gbps 192-bit, 150W TDP
RTX 3050 has a maximum of 2304 CUDA cores, 4GB GDDR6 @14 Gbps 128-bit, 90W TDP
All models of the RTX 3050 will require PCIe cable
None will use only PCIe slot power
makes sense
Or just making 2-3 power brick in one
you can but laptops are limited by thermal too
that looks like a conference room too
Oh god
some dude just shows up with his gamer rgb meme laptop and mouse pad
I feel sorry for that dude carrying that
Defintely gaming when he's on break
except alienware laptops
and bigger laptops
alienware laptops are still thermally limited
yeah true
but if you make a good laptop cpu cooler
LMAO
laptops are limited since people dont want a 5 kg thiccpad
I want one
they do exist
there's 3950X and 10900K laptops
and some wack ones for engineers
https://techoverload.com.au/uploads/services_details/dekstop_repairs.jpg yeah don't hold a soldering iron like that

So many
25 Feb - 'RTX 3060' comes with 12GB GDDR6 @15 Gbps; 3,584 CUDA cores, 28 SMs, 28 RT cores, 112 Tensor cores, 170W TDP
Apr/May/Jun - 'RTX 3050 Ti' to have 6GB GDDR6 @15 Gbps; 3,072 CUDA cores, 24 SMs, 24 RT cores, 96 Tensor cores, 130W TDP
Apr/May/June - 'RTX 3050' to have 4GB GDDR6 @14 Gbps; ~2,304 CUDA cores, ~18 SMs, ~18 RT cores, ~72 Tensor cores, 90W TDP
TDP is uncertain because clockspeeds are unknown/too various
you gonna buy one?
would a 1050ti be fine in a streaming only pc
1650 would probably have better codec support because tensor cores iirc
I don't really remember but I think there's something about GTX 16 and RTX 20/30 series GPUs that makes them better for recording/streaming than previous generations
I'd agree with this. 1050Ti just isn't going to give you enough umph.
I have both, but it's a night/day difference between the two's performance.
1650 is only 24% faster than the 1050Ti on average in gaming
1650 Super on the other hand is a different story
Nearly 80% faster
1650?
Yeah especially the ones that dont use PCIe power cable
how about the 1660
like you have an old pc but you cant afford an entire computer and you are ok by playing 40-70fps, just get a 1650 and that does it
my friend wants to stream escape from tarkov but his cpu isnt good enough he doesnt think
so i said why not just build a streaming pc thats cheap
yeah its the same as mine. the i5 9400f
the i5 9400f is more than enough to stream a single player game
he's just being picky
Dont use a streaming codec that relies on your CPU
i have an 8400 and streaming hardly affects my frame rate
i never tried tarkov though
Tarkov kills CPU
im not sure if its ram ? does streaming take up ram ?
what happened with your pc btw ice, did you get it replaced or what
no
wut
Yup, worth the purchase, though if it can support the 1660Ti, I'd say go with that instead.
That's like, everyone.
my sister had a i3 6100 with 8gb ram and tbh getting a regular 1650 was the best decision
1660Ti and 1660 Super are around the same price now with current situation lol
it barley uses any of mine.... it uses about 20-40%
It kills CPU single-core
ohh
i did say to upgrade his cpu only but dont u have to do alot of things after installing it
BIOS wise or something
No
Not rly it’s just plop and play rly
When I built my pc I didn’t have to do any configurations
Well upgraded it
Added a new cpu, mobo, psu, eventually gpu
Tarkov is unoptimized, relies way too much on single-core so if you got an older CPU (before Ryzen 3000 or Intel 6th gen) that has relatively low single-core performance you may have a stuttery experience
yeah it is unoptimized
Although Ive seen Tarkov be a stutter mess on enthusiast class hardware
So results vary lol
i remember some guy who had a 3070 im pretty sure it was with a R7 and he was only getting 60 fps lol

Depends on the R7
If it were a R7 1700
Then makes sense
But a 5800x
Then somethings wrong
So grim just to confirm
pretty sure it was the 3700x
If the 3050 perform how it’s excepted I would get it over the 1660s?
Exspected
Whatever I can’t spell
3050 should match the 1660Ti in performance but it will have 4GB VRAM instead of 6GB
wait the 3050 has 4GB vram ?
Yes
tf
3050Ti has 6GB
ohhh
AMD on the other hand isn't going lower than 6GB for this generation (could change for OEM prebuilt PCs)
i would of done 6GB instead of 4GB and then 8GB instead of 6GB lol
6600/6600XT has 192-bit bus and 6-12GB
6700/6700XT has 192-bit and 6-12GB as well
i dont get why a more powerful gpu has less VRAM then a less powerful GPU that has more Vram
But being realistic how big of a difference is 1660ti vs 1660s
6700XT will compete against 3060Ti/3070
6600XT against 3060
How much power do they use?
Ahh
It depends on model
you have the 450watt dont u ?
i have the 1660s with 450watt
Think it will just have to be the 1660s
its a strong card
I also gotta keep in mind I’m just going for 75 FPS 1080 medium to high
i play 1440p resolution and can get 70-80fps ultra
on BFV
yup
Wich one do you have
i have the 9400f
lol
Don’t different brands have somewhat different power consumption?
dont think so
Ok
not sure tho
Then I might go with an msi
the msi version looks nice
the temps on this card are good
i do hit the 70's on most games but i think its just cuz i dont have many fans in my case
F?
Celcius or far he hit
celcius
lol
Could literally cook an egg on that
S hard to type in the shower lol
oh
If your gpu was at 70f then you would have to have pretty extravagant cooling
Custom water cooling with a water chiller
Maximum is 95c. Id say a maximum comfortable is 85c
Intel its a maximum of 110c
Oh ok
And amd I think its 95?c
Those are the temperatures at which the pc will turn on to save the hardware
So 100% cpu at 100f is fine?
So its actually impossible to damage a component from heat because the system will shut off WAYYY before that happens
I’m sure it would get much hotter if I payed for longer
That’s VERY relieving
Thats very good
Well I was only at 100 for a few minutes
Didn’t check constantly
I’ll check agian later
wot 37c at 100% load?
granty was it you who used to have the corsair 275 case ?
that be amd or?
I don’t think it was 100% now that I think about it
Besides even if you could damage a component from heat. It won't reduce functionality or performance
It only reduces life span
but 100f is soo little lul
And it changes from like 15 years, to 12 years
Most common intel maximum is 100c then throttle starts
So yeah you could run a cpu at 200f every week and it will only have a few years knocked off
Could double my lifespan before it breaks
btw i think amd cpu needs much lower temps, unsure on this tho
When I play around with overclocking I manually set my gpu fans to 100%
And some times I forget to turn it back to automatic
So when I restart my pc my fans default to like 20%
lul, probably loud 😛
And my gpu reaches almost 90c
Because the fans are barely turning
I've done it about 3 times now I think
i'd cry at those temps. But i think around 90 is around max recomended for the 20s
You use like msi afterburner?
ah. btw cant you start it when windows starts? so it adjusts fans etc...
Generally means I forgot to turn the fans back on lol

Yeah I have it that way
But fans still 20%?
Let me explain again
Why i do really big overclocks i set fan speeds to 100% permanently as keeping temps low is easier than cooling a card down right
But when I'm done playing with 3dmark or what ever I will dial back the overclocks but not set the fan speed to the curve again
oh ya i see
But for some reason then when I turn my pc off and back on with the fans on manual they default to 20%
And I forget I had turned them to manual so it over heats
mhm i see i see
NVIDIA's CMP 30HX and 40HX mining chips will leverage the 12nm Turing architecture: meanwhile, the higher-end 50HX and 90HX could put supply pressure on 8nm Ampere gaming cards
Good news for you cpu buyers amd is gonna be in stock for a while since scalpers might be pulling off since they have no use for them
no wait
its only the 5800x
Ryzen 5 5600 might get announced next week on the 3rd, makes perfect sense to announce a new mid-range CPU with the mid-range RX 6700XT
There may be no need for AMD to make a 5600 non-X model as all of Zen3 chips appear to have no trouble reaching 4.6+ GHz boost
5600 countering next gen intel hype makes most sense. Though I wonder how stock will be.
what up nerds
its been a long time since you last sent a message
actually it's been 9 hours
Ok
Hdd
hmm is it old?
I think thats your problem
System software said everything Is ok
getting an ssd will fix your problem
the number of hdd yku have doesnt change anything
@weak girder this is why its only using 25% of my cpu
msfs is only core 0 intensive
Could be a Windows glitch or virus ?
no
its because you have an hdd
only reason
that happens @subtle adder
Ive seen plenty other people with hdd's and theirs are runing fine
yeah because you probably have an old or crappy one
my laptop does it, im waiting to get an ssd
yeah but I bet they dont have windows installed on it
my laptop has a normal hard drive in it but its maximum read speed is like 5mb/s. i bet yours is the same
It sometimes was overheating so maybe becaus of that. So Its hardware problem 100%
your not listening
HDD sequential should be 100-200 MB/s on most modern drives
hard drives dont over heat
your problem is that you have a slow hdd and it cant keep up
and installing windows on it is a bad idea anyways
I know but the Heat Impacted the HDD
no
no it didnt
hard drives draw like 5w maybe less
its not possible for them to overheat
^
Anyway yeah put windows on ssd and rest on hdd
at least youre not using emmc luæ
@subtle adder open task manager, and see what the disk read/write speeds are
lul*
So anyone who uses HDD on Windows will have crapy booting up. What a joke
uhh what
dude...
thats normal
hdd are old af
ok im just gonna leave cuz he isnt listening
its getting frustrating
I am listening
no
@weak girder emmc sucks almost more than hdds
you arent
no your fucking not
ive told you, open task manager and see what the disk read and write speeds are
these
then BUY one
if its 200mb/s then you have a problem, but if its pinned at 100% and your hard drive is doing like 10mb/s then its what i predicted
its a crappy old hdd
Sure. In the US. But not where I live.
Also try to reduce startup programs and background tasks
Some of them keep using disk
I dont think they cost much more anywhere in the world
Ok pal
an ssd isnt usually expensive
reee thats not going to help if the hdd is old.
look some crappy hard drives basically die
it might help with bootup time
But the system said everything Is ok.
which is why im trying to get him to send the read speeds
ffs
Im getting there
look let me show you my laptop
Not really thats when they move smaller files
Wait Like 5 minutes
the system telling you stuff doesnt mean anything
So whats the point of It then
you dont understand
HDDs dont really slow down with age @supple bane
is it task manager?
Ok Its fine now
granty is right
its barely got anything on it but sure
HDDs dont really slow with time
yes they do
when they die its usually rapid
well maybe its just shit then
No
but my point is. if he sends what the read speeds of his drive are. it can say alot about whats happening
Shit Ill dm you
but he wont do that because yall keep telling him to do other things 
Just use hwinfo64 or crystaldiskinfo
I did that why so salty
Calm down
Ive sent ya dm. I cant post here
so its not obviously chugging,
so its probably just normal hdd speeds what you are experiencing then
Sure
not something like my laptop where the hard drive is really bad
that probably wont help
wont really do much
Yea
HDDs dont slow as they get near full
Ok
fragmentation and lots of small files is their bane lul
HDD as system disk...
Yeah
also page file
fragmentation doesnt affect modern drives that much
He should get 128 gb ssd sometime
it is gonna be really slow
it does but windows does it automatically
I've used ssd as os drive since 2014 or so
i swapped to ssd in early 2016
coz ssd at that time cost a fortune and not as reliable as expected
apart from samsung
i remember my friend got the 120/128gb ssd and it dies within a year. so he replaced it 3 times during the warranty period
i wished mlc is a thing in 2020
coz there are too less manufacturers are making mlc ssd
mostly TLC and QLC is getting cheaper and dominating the lower end/ high capacity budget market
the number 8 on Nvidia’s RTX 3080 is upside down. I will never unsee this 😬 https://t.co/PGuObzORpJ
150
1426
@opaque saddle yeah and PLC soon
I wish they'd make a nand replacement
theres optane but expensive
hopefully those aren't "archive drives"
coz QLC (no cache) has a speed of 80MB/S. PLC will be slower
i have installed windows 10 on emmc
its awful
slow, really slow
i have a mini pc with emmc inside
32gb and cant even install windows with latest update
lul
and windows is trying to install updates on it and it got 1gb free space
nice work windows
laptops with emmc and 2-4 GB ram is just shovelware rn
Can't believe they are still making so many
yeah
like 1366x768 TN panel with 2-4gb ram, 32/64gb emmc
I still see many laptops that cost the same as my 2013 laptop did back tjen
that are slower
coz the lower end intel processor cost fair bit of money
yeah but a few has 9125 too
you know the atom series laptops were heavily subsidised by intel
so the chinese tablet manufactures made tons of 80-100USD 8" tablets for much cheaper price
coz they dont cost much money for win 10 home licenses
i think it is free or something as long as it is smaller than 10.1"
theres a minecraft themed cheap laptop that cant run minecraft
some lightweight linux distro would be better for them
well chromeos is linux but lighter than it
ChromeOS is perfect for elderly people and people who only use the internet and stuff like word
think about netbook
chromeOS is good for old people but even for internet stuff I think it sucks

i would rather to get my dad an ipad for internet browsing
How does it suck for internet stuff?
not chromebook lol

my school has chromebooks and its unbearable
then you cant really play games on it
it takes forever to load anything
people used to play games on their netbooks
even google runs horribly on them
mine didnt use computers except for a few times
so our government paid for 1200 AUD for a laptop that cost 250AUD
Ye cuz your school got some cheap chromebooks
big ripoff
well, its school computers
they won't buy the expensive stuff
then i decided to get myself an ipad and it works well
it still works 6.5 years later
and i gave up on school windows laptops
and the ipad isnt really too expensive if I remember correctly
like a medium range phone
I don’t think you’re able to judge on something if you use the cheapest of the cheapest product.
i think it cost like 738 AUD when i got it 6.5 years ago
judging what? My school computers
so my mum got a demo ipad for 50 bucks lol
Judging that chromeOS sucks
12.9" first gen ipad pro
even if it were on a good machine the OS is very limited
Ye because that is the purpose of the OS
It’s a super light OS that you can run on basically everything
Linux should run the same
at least if im a teacher, then i wouldnt want my students to play games during my lesson
and Id use linux over chromeOS
most students just play games on google
so it doesn't matter
and windows 10 is getting bigger and bigger, it cost more for them to get a proper windows laptop or ipad
they could use linux
maybe but I don't think it changes much
everyone who plays games in class just play .io games
at least not COD or CS lol
playing CS at school is probably the worst idea lol
coz i remember people back in the days used to play COD on their school laptops
really?
yes
worst I seen is minecraft or valorant
the OG COD
nah the worst i have seen is a grown uni student playing fortnite on the uni machines
it has a 8700 on it with iGPU
anyway we have gaming rooms at uni, so i can play PS or XBOX, or even windows games at the uni gaming room
our school desktops have 4gb ram and a 6400 with igpu and someone was playing mfs on them lol
but thats not in class and at lunch
oof the school desktop seems to be really nice at your school
theyre not bad
we used to have windows 98 or windows 2000 machines at primary and secondary schools
lol
think about this tho
so using windows 98 and windows 2000 when you got vista or win 7 at home
this is bad, really bad lol
one of my friends in france has school computer with windows 95 on them lol
anyway my high school have swapped the imac to another up to date imac lol
so white imac to silver, 21.5" imac
big budget ig
mine doesnt either
so i was helping my high school teacher to fix 60 of their macbooks in 30mins
i got 20 bucks from the teacher
afterward
did you ask them to restart? 
no it was a massive issue regards to the internet connections. so login via school network was no longer working
so i fixed that all of those by myself and helped others art students and teachers, so they can use the macbooks in class
i think my dad paid for his laptop lol, school laptop
they gave xp's 13 or 15's to my teachers last year
