i fucking hate laptops

[_streethop101]

randomly, the volume stops working. only way to fix it is to reboot. so i reboot, go back to the site to watch my movie, and it does it again. ever happened to anyone? anyone know how to fix it?

Never happened to me.

Laptops rock!

i love my laptop.

how long have you gotten this laptop? perhaps it's the file/website you are watching that fails you and not the laptop?

That's why it's important to buy good quality laptops from good companies.
I love my IBM laptop. It's 4 years old and works great. It was pretty high-end back in the days though.

This one cost about 1500 bucks, lol, wasn't willing to spend any more than that on one...

I looked on another blog and they said that sometimes the media that you're loading sets the preferences different and mutes it, which is strange. It's done it on YouTube a few times, but mainly on movies.

I really don't like laptops, though...the only thing I like about them is the built in webcam and the fact they're portable.

$1500 on a laptop? What did you get?

 

[_streethop101]

Dell intel Core 2 Duo...whatever that means. Dude told me it was a good one, I went for it.



I'm a terrible, terrible, terrible impulse shopper.

yeah it's pretty much a processor

But it's all about the company and model. You can even get a lenovo laptop but a shitty model and there'll be problems.

With Dell there's always a hit or miss.

i love my laptop. i find that its great value for money, although im trying to use it just for educational purposes only, i.e. not downloading random stuff.

i just hate not having a hand-held mouse for it, and im considering buting one of them cute tiny little ones.

i prefer desktops over laptops, also the posture i adapt (arched back) really hurts my back when using this laptop. at least with a desktop i can sit properly.

I got mine for college, I don't download music on it, but I do stream movies.

I download on my desktop, it's faster. I agree about the bad posture on a laptop, I feel all slouchy. Didn't really notice it until you mentioned it...now I shall be self-conscious whilst on webcam with 14 year old girls, thanks a lot!!

i hate laptops too!

ive had a different problem with the volume. it completely turned off. restarting it didnt work at all. i forgot what i did but i just googled the problem and had to go to the volume thing and do a test.

Toshiba Laptops FTW!

 

[Euphanasia]

lol i think the thread should be titled, "i hate MY laptop" because it's apparent that yours is a piece of shit

I love mine.

Toshiba Laptops FTW!

Never had a problem with mine. Mine actually runs better than desktops that have more Ram for some reason.

Toshiba = God at laptops!

 

[DarkPhantom13]

I have a $1800 Sony labtop and i've never had a single problem with it. I love my labtop actually.

acer laptops and notebooks are quality, especially for the price and therefore great value for money. i picked mine up for £400 last august

I think HP are decent, they just have very simple and basic laptops. that can be a good thing though.

i like my acer aspire, but some people may find that it has too many hot-key buttons and find it more complicated or advanced to use.

If you're worried about your posture I highly recommend one of these when using @ home

Desktop Stands - Diplomat Desk Stand

I had horrible neck pain before, specially the muscle that connects your neck to your shoulders (traps I think??)

Anyway, this 100% solved it by raising it to eye level, it also helps any wrist pain you will eventually get from constant typing/jacking/texting

bah my HP laptop works fine

 

[_streethop101]

Everything else works just fine, I'm fine with the laptop, but the volume thing really irks me.

It has this little fingerprint reader thing, which is amazing, because it appeals to my inner child.
