New VAIO: Round 2 (160 views)

So yep, I got another one.

This one was WAY cheaper, and has ADH protection, and has WAY better performance. And tons of cool little features. Like a full keyboard, thats backlit like a boss, and it autodetects lighting conditions so the monitor and keyboard adjust their lighting based on your ambiant conditions. It also has a quad core processor. Awesome. It also has this cool gesture thing with the camera so I can like, control volume and go back and forth between webpages and stuff just by moving my hand like Obi-Won Kenobe. Though the novelty of that might ware off in about a week, ha ha ha.

I made this decision because A, I had enough money left over from my college money to afford it with enough to spare for anything else I might need it for, B, Because I'm doing a video class next semister and just in general having a computer for college would be nice, considering I couldn't write papers last semister because I couldn't run Microsoft Word because I couldn't see to type, and C, it was on sale and it was one of their last models to come with Windows 7, because Windows 8 can suck it.

It is a bit smaller, but it is WAY lighter, and I feel so much safer knowing I have ADH protection. Also, I can now use the computer while playing PS3 again, so that'll be nice

Do not fret however, I will still be setting up the desktop when the situation upstairs is fully settled (ie we have a grounded outlet to plug in my surge protector with so I can move everything upstairs) I want to use that computer to be my own home bat-computer that will run my wireless router. And it'll be awesome having multiple screens at one desk.

Now to customize further!

i dont like the idea of a backlit keyboard

[Mario the black knight]

I do, it's awesome. It looks cool if nothing else

I have a really awesome background and Rainmeter set up. I just need to figure out how to do those little link things that open your folders and stuff, and how to do the Black Clear Glass theme for my windows so they look cool.

I am a little annoyed with the touchpad though, it's too Mac for my liking, the buttons aren't articulated, it all looks like one smooth surface. I don't like that. At least I have my number pad back!

[Mario the black knight]

Also, my Gesture mode won't work for some reason, I'm sad.

[tim]

also, check out how much of a faggot i am, i sort of want a mac for my next computer.

[Mario the black knight]

HA HA HA HA HA, FAGGOT!

What has you jumping on the fagwagon? Do you enjoy not having money? Do you enjoy spending the tiny amount of money you have on an overpriced and overrated piece of The Man incarnate? Or are you just coming out of the closet and feel as though you need to do it in as extravagant way as possible?

[tim]

well i'd only get it if i had a lot of disposable money i didnt really need. i dunno, i just think itll work better. my pcs always slog along for a good amount of time and all, but really after the first few months they just get slow and clunky and not performing very well. even when i use dogar's mac for whatever reason it performs WAY better than my pcs do and its like 4 years old now.

I'm not sure about that being a running system issue, my brother owned a mac for a little while, and it was just as slow as my old PC. And he couldn't do anything about it because you can't disk defrag an Apple without paying for a program to do it. Then again my brother can kill any computer he touches with the greatest of ease. Dispite what they claim, macs aren't immune to viruses, there are just less viruses targeted to the Mac OS. My old Vaio is still quite fast. I figure if you take care of a PC the way douchebags take care of their macs, it would probably be fine, and still cost you less than a mac.

I guess since David is one of the world's leading experts at downloading disturbing, disgusting and likely illegal pornography, he probably knows how to protect the components of his computer, regardless of what brand it is, it's a nessesity in order to protect himself from the authorities and Chris Hansen. The longevity of his computer is a happy side effect. It just so happens that apple markets to faggots like him and thats why he has one.

Do you defrag your disks ever. My old Vaio had a utility that automatically defragged the disks, registry, and generally tuned it's performance on a very regular basis, and it runs fine still, even with a shattered screen.

[Mario the black knight]

I think the reason newer macbook pros don't slow down as fast is because they run Solid State Drives instead of Hard Disk Drives, which don't require defrag. I have a feeling though that soon there will be pleanty of viruses on mac now that they are gaining market share, they used to not have virsues because no one bothered to use them.

In theroy then, if you wanted to have a PC that was almost as expensive as a Mac, and ran as long, you'd just need to buy it with a SSD and keep up with it's virus software and stuff.
