Thread: What computer should I buy?

let's face it, TheGent is never going to buy a Mac because he can't afford it

yes they are underspecs and overpriced, nobody denies that, but when you really want one, all of this is pointless, you simply buy it. It's not that expensive in absolute terms, 1,500 USD for some jewelry is actually ok.

So if TheGent was really serious and needed one, he wouldn't find petty excuses to postpone his purchase with silly arguments like new specs etc... he would simply buy one, and end of story.

One waits.

Act in haste, repent at leisure.

But you are Belgian, and apart from Hercule Poirot, Claude Van Damme, that Saxophone fellow, the chap who drew trains coming out of fireplaces and possibly a couple of others your race is as notable as a pustule erupting next to a leper.

Harrumph.

When you write such stuff and press ' Submit ' do you feel pretty pleased with yourself ?

That's a pitiful state of mind to be having .

Instead of contriving such appalling ways of talking to people you'd do better saying nothing .

Dignity y'know.

Scampy, it is you, isn't it?

let's face it TheGent, you are jealous of all those European continentals

because you might be lucid enough to realize that you are from a miserable place

My dear chap, I never expect anything other than misery, grief and unpleasantness. It's the human condition and only vapid girls, homosexuals or continental nitwits would expect otherwise.

Stoicism, duty and suffering are the hallmarks of greatness which is why we British governed over a quarter of the world for so long.

One endures.

A fine argument, but its living in the past. The British way of living is crumbling around us now. Time to move on, learn to live in the moment and enjoy it as the Thais do so expertly.

Are you man enough to accept that ? or should I say woman enough ? har har.

Ahhh, the untermensch of the forum speak.

The problem with living in Thailand is one is never free of this dross which have fetched up here on the high tide of their beer swilling, whoremongering miserable little hopes.

No taste, no culture, no conversation except that monosyllabic grunting spouted on the basis of their wretched experiences, no style and, of course, very little intelligence given the shallowness of their ghastly gene pools festering in the backwaters of dystopian urban Britain infested with immigrants, benefit trash and their own gormless families.

Ah well.

It appears you are desperately in need of that Apple Mac thegent. A machine for the discerning gentlemen who refrains from spending time with the riff-raff.

Why, it's even being reported that Apple Mac users choose the more expensive accommodation options on their travels and no doubt the more exclusive restaurants. So much so, it appears, that on-line tracker agencies are steering Apple users to the the more expensive accommodation with, no doubt, more on-line bookings to follow:

Buy that Apple thegent and stay head and shoulders above the untermensch.

Cool! I'm going to set my user agent to report that I am running IE6 on Windows 98 and save big bux!

Hell, they'll probably feel so sorry for me that they give me free rooms.

You do realize you just confirmed what Texpat has been ranting over for years on TD

yes we know you English fuckers, we know how miserable you are and how much you need to spread your miserability to every other place you visit.

But you need to understand that not everyone in the world are as miserable as you are.

I guess having bad teeth, miserable weather, miserable women, bad food and bad beer, and no wine, would make even a happy hobbit a miserable fucker like the typical frustrated English man.

^You left out Cricket, golf and football...happy folks otherwise.

Then why bother with a tablet. Get another pc. Proper keyboard, 19 inch screen, 500gbyte hard drive, etc. Better, faster and cheaper than a 10.5" Samsung Galaxy Tab S.

For example. This PC. Price around 14k baht.

Your suggestion gives me a headache - LOGICAL, PRACTICAL! Why? TIT - your parameters defy the norm here!
Wife - Thai - youngish. Of course, she likes Tablet.
Logic has no place in LOS?

Get yourself a MacBook Air 11 inch screen basic model for 31k.,comes with all the applications you will need, all free, and an operating system that is perfect for we intelligent folk who simply want efficiency and no fuss. No more virus nonsense either and certainly no more Windows drivel taking over your computer because of some silly update.

And it looks really cool, made of aluminium which is very pleasant to stroke.

so brutally British,

You'll never be a real Apple Fanboy, Gent... hanging around waiting for the next machine with better spec.

Although you're halfway there

The thing is, before, computers for me were up there with can openers, screwdrivers and central heating controls. Necessary but left me cold. Well, maybe not the central heating thingy but you get me drift.

Well. Now I've discovered Apple and their computers I'm really quite interested not least because the Mac stuff is so damned gorgeous to behold. Who could resist that perfect meld between form and function? I love them all and will become quite deflated when the time comes to make a decision. No more trips to the Apple store which in this ghastly place is a haven of efficiency,intelligence and peaceful calm among some of the best consumer products in the whole world. Ah well, I can always consider an upgrade later on ........
