at my school they have lenovo R61's they are terribly slow, i know that they are old

 

but what makes them really slow is the fake that they have 1.5GB of ram and a 64Bit version of windows 7, they originally came with windows xp the school "upgraded" them.

they also have celeron 540 cpus

 

do you guys have any experiences  like this 

 

they also have the keyboard nipple

My high school's PC's were terrible.

My current school's PC's have i7 3770 and 650 Ti's in them with 12-16GB RAM :')

 

EDIT: we usually have 800Mb upload and download too. But sometimes the connection is terrible..

And they 'only' have a HDD..

We're using Dell Wyse thin clients to connect using RDP to VMs on overdedicated servers. 6 of them, each has 240GB of RAM and some old Xeon. 1.5GB per VM.

Sig under construction.

We have BYOD at our school, so no.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.

One time, we were doing Photoshop in school, and a friend asked me a question on how to do something (I forget what it was exactly) I told him to press "f12" and he then proceeds to press three different buttons at the same time, "f" "1" and "2." I face-palmed so hard I got a headache.

The PCs in the rooms I use are i7 4820Ks but the library "plebeian" PCs are i3 4130s.

 

But if you want to use some apps you have to go through thin client which well... yea, not so good.

Oh god.. That's terrible.

Guess I am lucky that my school actually bought all those licenses and stuff.. And we have all Adobe and Office programs too.. But often the Unity3D installs/keys are broken..  <_<

at my university you can find really weird things but the most common are i5 with 8 gigs of ram and w8.1, there's also a room with macs (although i've never been in there). 

The best way to measure the quality of a piece of code is "Oh F*** "s per line

Is it not for the fact that all the programs are actually ran over the network, making it appear slow but the computer is probably quite fast? That is how my uni does it.

I think it's not even that, I think they used a master license for the programs and it takes the key or information from the server so that may be the issue. My laptop, when it had a hard drive in it was faster at launching the same program than their computers.  :mellow:

Well last year my school had VERY OLD Dell Optiplex's Running XP. This year we have...get ready... CHROMEBOOKS!! Acer C720 Chromebooks to be precise. I am using 1 of 2 dell latitude 13's at school that everyone abandoned (so its basically mine) another teacher uses the other one. We are now getting Dell Chromebooks because the Acer ones aren't very durable.
