    That Random Cat got a reaction from STRMfrmXMN in Experiences with non-techies   
    Aight, so the other day I was in a skype call with one on my friends and we got on the topic of computers and he decided to go to his dads office computer and pull the stick of RAM out... He then attempts to put it back in and he gets really confused to why it's not booting up, i tell him to look it it again, he then tips the pc up on it's side and pushes down with a bit of force trying to get it to click but then he realises he put in between the two slots... He fixes his mistake and then somehow it boots... Just.. How.

    I keep telling my Mum to use the Documents Folder and Pictures Folder.  SHE NEVER F***ING DOES!!!
     
     
    That is seriously, surprising.  How can someone do that?  It clearly says thats an 1150 motherboard and the processor is 1155.  But RAM? How?  How the hell can you mess that up!?! 
     
     
    Also, once I was walking around in Noel Leeming helping friends pick a new computer.  And I'm on CONSTANT DEFENSE!  You cannot walk into that store as a tech person and not get into a mild argument with staff defending that an i7 isn't double the i5. 
    So, this guy comes and offers us help, and he starts going on about how HP makes the best computers because they are super solid and use high quality parts.  So then before my friend buys this, I go and say "Well, I'll build you a computer instead?"  And before my friend can even say anything this employee starts ranting about how building a computer is so dangerous. So then this conversation started:
    Guy: Whats RAM Then!?!!
    Me: Random Access Memory.
    Guy: Wrong!  Its Ready Appliance Memory!
    Me: Actually, it connects to RAM slots and connects via a frontside bus to the CPU so the computer can store temporary, always accessed data in RAM temporarily for fast access speeds because DDR3 memory runs at, at least 1333mhz.
    Guy: That was just a test.  What does HP stand for?!??
    Me: Horrible Products
     
    Then he walked away in anger after the manager came and apologized to us for his loud yelling and we went off.

    No, no it is not. Without a question, beyond a shadow of a doubt, no way around it - that was the worst piece of sh*t I have ever owned. It died after three months of use because you couldn't keep the scroll ball clean. It also got grimey inside and was impossible to clean inside as you couldn't take it apart. Just, ugh. Worst mouse, period.
    The Mighty Mouse will go down as the first piece of tech I legitimately threw in the trash.

    Yeah, pretty much what @kameshss mentioned before, the Asus PB278q is the best monitor in your price range but it you want a "gaming" monitor go with the ROG swift, its 1440p, 144hz etc but it depends on how much you can go over your target budget.

    No i have not experienced razor's customer support but i did for logitech and they are insane in terms of customer support (heck they will send you a new item without hesitating right after receiving the RMA and it comes with loads of apologetic messages too)
