Thread: What computer should I buy?

All this stuff really gets on my nerves .

You have to remember it's a public forum . I am genuinely interested in the recommendations and what finally gets bought .
You can exchange your insults privately .
Why must I wade through this crap to get to the actual contributions ?

Wasp - It's very simple. If you need to believe that people think you are cool because you have a well branded apple product, you get apple. If you are sensible, you do not.

It is a clear as that.

Think you should qualify that a little. What products, and how substandard? I've had a range of their products over the last 7 years or so, and all have been satisfactory (though some have needed repair). Generally I find their quality is of a high standard, and certainly OSX is great to use. I've had a couple of iPhones, though I prefer the recent Samsung Galaxys, mainly through not having to go use the iTunes App Store, and also their larger screens.

So what manufacturers have 'substance'? Genuinely interested in your views.

Genuinely uninterested in having to explain it again.

Har, har.

Look, just about every player in the business is offering a specced up machine all of which are in the same price bracket of 40,000 - 60,000 bt.

It's just that the lower end Windows OS machines have that market to themselves.

So what if Apple customers are intent on the upper end of the spectrum?

Thing is Gent, they are not. They are interested in people who also buy into the branded BS thinking that they are intent on the upper end of the spectrum. For every apple machine for 60,000 baht there is a non apple machine for 30,000 with better componentry and better made.

The entry Imac is 37,000bt. The Mac mini kicks off at 19900 and the next level fit for most folk is 27,000 bt. The Mac Airs start at 31,000 and 36,000.

So, where's your argument Pseud?

I don't mind an opinion expressed like that . In fact I find I agree with what you are saying .
It's when it descends into abuse that I mind .

You can see on every chat forum how quickly people start calling each other names and swearing but you don't see it so much on Teakdoor .
And that's a pleasant difference.

It's not difficult to swear . The difficulty with some people seems to be NOT swearing .

I just don't think I should have to read such stuff .

And yes I agree with you about the immaturity of trying to look " cool " by buying brands . Why do people pay extra for a tee-shirt just because it has ' Hollister ' printed on it ? You're paying extra to advertise Hollister .

But in the case of Apple ........ all the computer websites say it has been number 1 for a long time and although it has more serious competition now it's still at the pinnacle .
So it may not all be posing .
And there's a reverse to this . I will never buy anything 'Apple ' because although they are good products I'll look like a thoughtless poser !

Scampy, is that you, you little tinker.

Wow.

What other forums do you visit that sling considerably higher amounts of brown stuff than here?

How is that even possible?

Cyrille, you really can be one stupid twat, can't you?

Sucker. Comes of being a supercilious, vain cvunt.

See what I mean?

It's all plenty of people here are capable of.

Particularly thegenital, with his tired old pose of being some sort of sophisticate when really he's just a pathetic fish out of water addled by decades of cheap booze.

Have you considered buying a large pencil holder for 100,000 baht - it's branded and nicely designed!

At least I know when I'm having my leg pulled, you effeminate cocksucking motherfucking spunk bubble.

fuck that thread is going sideways, I need to put it back on track

TheGent and harry both exposing their complete ignorance of computer systems, priceless, dumb and dumber

which one is the stylish waste basket and stylish interior heater ?

this is a trick question, answer carefully

Time to abandon this ship.

OH NO !!!! ^

I do like that Mac Pro. Fine piece of art and functional too although it's probably wasted in my hands. Isn't it meant for offices and the like? Although I'm sure Butterfly would have a Super Cray thinggy for his tinkerings in the financial world.

So, who would use a Mac Pro and for what?

^ Aesthetically pleasing but technically inferior to a PC in almost every way. But that is all mactards care about anyway is aesthetics. They want to look trendy at that local coffee house with that stupid apple logo on the back of their laptop. Idiots.
