I absolutely HATE windows 8 because seriously... who the fk hits their start menu that many times? My friend loves it though and this is only because he's very good with computers.

I also noticed that Win8 has a pretty damn steep learning curve for those who aren't tech savvy. :/

It does, I am running a VM of it right now its I changed the look and feel back to windows 7 but it seems to offer a lot of options that are just not needed to me lol

Yup. Generally speaking, I hate blacked/tinted taillights. It is a safety hazard. I want my brake lights BRIGHTER not darker.

Its so easy. I don't get how people can't figure out W8 or adjust to it. It took me like an hour. And I don't really consider myself tech savvy. That ship sailed a long time ago.

FOr sure! MSI is pretty decent, Owned one for about 3 years and it just randomly died (but hard core head)

@bestwheelbase, well what I meant was I don't care to stay that up-to-date on new tech. I just go with the flow and adapt along the way to these new OS, cell phones, mp3 players, camera's, etc etc.

But its good to know there's highly knowledgeable members here so if I have a real tech. question I'll just ask here when I'm stumped on something.

Agreeds back in the day you could really have a change in tech but now the past few years techs been slowing down in terms of advancement, it should pick up again slowly. I loved my vapochill unit back in like 2003, had my PC running at -34 degrees over clocked to 3.8ghz

Hard core head?

Okay for the same price is this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834152388

Slightly different processor but other specs seem the same. Is this one better performing enough to warrant the ugly red/black shell? Thank god for stickers.

kanundrum · 05-13-2013, 01:04 PM

Hard Core DEAD*** Oh god that didn't sound right at all lol. Yea like the board burnt out couldn't even repair it

Def not bad as well! I also suggest if you can wait a week or 2 until memorial day. There will be tons of sales, unless your in a bind in which case yea go for what ever is good.

bestwheelbase · 05-13-2013, 01:05 PM

@M-17 I understand now. Yes, I totally agree. For example: I would never stand in line to buy a new cell phone or whatever. Just take it as it comes. Like right now with needing a new laptop. This must be the year for me to make some upgrades, because my cellphone is almost dead too...

I think mine has reached the same unfortunate conclusion. Symptoms of memory failure. Machine won't even boot. Of course I didn't backup like I should have.

My desktop was pretty cluttered with shortcuts. This is like forced spring cleaning.

Might try to wait until Memorial Day... are the deals really that good?

kanundrum · 05-13-2013, 01:07 PM

I am a mobile tech guru as well so let me know, I can talk about this crap for ages

If you have anything you need really back I can forensic the HD for you so let me know.

Memorial Day/4th of July are probably the best sales around the corner, after that its Black Friday in Nov.

But if you can wait just have a hawk eye on slickdeals.net they always post up something good. You can set alerts and stuff as well
