    I've had a Lenovo something for the last year. I've used it only 5 times to write an essays for college. I've now quit college and haven't used it since the last essay. The new laptops can't even play DVDs.The mouse touch pad is way too sensitive and it kept enlarging and shrinking the screen accidentally. So many times I was tempted to throw that piece of shit across the room. I'm hoping it breaks by itself so I can buy a Mac and this time I won't let my mother talk me into a cheaper brand,

    I have 3.
    My backup server, which is and old laptop with a Pentium quad core and 4GB of memory, a 500GB HDD drive and a 2TB HDD and Windows server 2016 standard. I only use it to share the foldwrs in which I store the backups of my other devices.

    Speaking of other devices, my second pc is my laptop, with an intel core i5 4210U Quad core, a Nvidia 850m, 8GB of memory and a 128GB SSD (although I bought it with a 256GB SSD) and Windows 10 pro

    And last but not least my self-customized HP proliant aka Frankenserver. It has two Intel Xeon X5675 CPUs with 12 threads, 3.5 GHz and 12MB of cache each (so altogether 24 threads and 24MB cache). Memorywise it has 40GB of RDIMM ECC memory. It also has an Asus GTX 1050ti, a SanDisk 256GB ssd for the OS, another Samsung 256GB SSD for programs and stuff and a 2TB WD Gold HDD for storing my pictures, videos, programs, etc. It runs on Windows server 2019 DataCenter (Until a few days ago it had Windows server 2016 DataCenter but I decided to try the Insider preview of the 2019 edition). And most importantly the peripherals: some random keyboard out of some random box, a mouse that I dtols from school, an AOC f22 monitor as my secondary display and a Dell Ultrasharp U2518D as my main display.

    Also that post turned out super long, so I don't expect anyone to read it
    KK bye

    A heavily-upgraded, pretty beaten-up, late 2011 MacBook Pro, which will be hopefully replaced by a 2018 model after Christmas or so.

    I customised my first ever PC so it’s not killer but good enough to play the games I wanted at high quality and still get decent FPS on a budget of about 1k including keyboard, mouse, steel series mouse pad, headphones, and monitor:

    i38100k, gtx 1050ti, 8gb ram, 240gb SSD

    It was so hard trying to figure out how to customise it all by myself with no friends interested in that kinda stuff to help me lol so it’s quite an average pc

    I bought this a few months ago and already want to upgrade my cpu to an i7 but I need to save up for that haha and also a 1080 gpu and preferably a better Corsair PSU and a fancier pc case. Basically I just want an overall sick set up lol

    It's approaching seven years old now and I'm starting to consider replacing it (though probably keeping my current graphics card for a while). Not sure if I want to bite on the 9900k or wait and see what comes out over the next year though.

    I build my computer (my first build too!)

    It's using Windows 10, a i5 CPU (3.0 GHz), 8.0 GB RAM and 1 TB storage. I still don't have a graphics card on it because it's not really necessary for what I'm using it for, but I might buy one later.
    It's miles better than my shitty laptop. I was going insane using it! It only has like 1.6 GHz xD

    I have an MSI GP63 8RE, and the specs are:
    Intel 8th Generation Hexacore i7 8750H

    16 GB DD4 RAM
    The display is a 1080 120Hz display with a 3ms response time

    I want to get a MacBook because the MSI is too heavy to carry to my college everyday.

    I mainly use a HP Spectre x360 laptop now. I went back to PC (although I have Linux and Mac VM's on the computer) as I couldn't justify paying that much for a Macbook when I could get much better performance, a 4k touchscreen, 2 in 1 form factor and a similar weight/overall size with a pc at the same price.

    The specs on mine are:
    Product name
    HP Spectre x360 - 13-ae013dx
    Microprocessor
    Intel® Core™ i7-8550U (1.8 GHz base frequency, up to 4 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 8 MB cache, 4 cores)
    Memory, standard
    16 GB LPDDR3-1600 SDRAM (onboard)
    Video graphics
    • Intel® UHD Graphics 620
    • Integrated
    Hard drive
    512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD
    Display
    13.3" diagonal 4K IPS micro-edge WLED-backlit touch screen with Corning® Gorilla® Glass NBT™ (3840 x 2160)

    I am about to get an E-GPU for it to connect to my desktop monitor for gaming (ill probably go 1070/80 as that about maxes out the bandwidth of the thunderbolt/usb-c port.)
