well i don't 'need' a custom fancurve, but it's more for peace of mind. temps int he high 80's are a little too high for me.

yea.. it's also a brick of a laptop. 

 

look, every laptop has pro's and cons. my Mac is relatively thin but runs hot. your HP runs cooler but is a lot more bulky...

but it also filles that space it has with everything it can. its a lot more Laptop. 

 

but yes the Macbook is thinner in trade for everything else. and sometimes you dont need the other bits.

i'm not disagreeing that the HP has more ports and stuff. i just don't need that.

have i said otherwise?. if so i must have expressed myself wrong. 

 

the hp probook is a solid laptop regardless of what people say about windows laptops at the time. buy anything reasonable in price and it would last way into todays age

As much as I love my 2016 13” nTB MBP, my PC takes the cake because of its RX 580.

really? wow... i didn't expect that.

My favorite PC is probably my current school laptop, Thinkpad X201T (specs in my signature).
 

I currently use it as my only desktop, as my gaming rig is decommissioned waiting on a new case and GPU. Can virtualize OSX Mavericks on the off chance I need macOS, and even with a dual core and an iGPU its perfectly serviceable as a daily machine.

Mac is great for every day tasks, but f*ck everyday tasks! I want to shoot big battleship guns!

My main is my current fav.  X399 platform build.  Still far from done though, I still sourcing for more additional parts to add later to the build (mostly big TB HDDs and two more m.2 sticks to drop in).

Though, I do have a slight soft spot for the old Toshiba laptop I have.  It a bit old, little i3 in it, but smacked a SSD in it and the laptop been an useful on the go machine (and the poor thing been switch through four OSes to date).

My Thinkpad x60s, the form factor, I also prefer 4:3 displays, the I/O, the battery, the trackpoint and the keyboard especially. The second is my XPS 15 9550 but the thinkpad has something the XPS doesn't.

Obviously is more than 10 years old, some people in china also managed to build a custom mobo with an i5 on it but sadly I can't get an hand on them since that would be very expensive,

My FX 8350 rig in my sig.  Ryzen is nice...FX completes the task and keeps my balls warm (PC under the desk) at the same time.  Ryzen cant do that.

 

Currently its two GPUs are HD 7850's but just got 2x R9 Fury Nitros in the mail from Ebay (my first used GPU purchases...we will see how this goes) so that space heater is going to melt things now.

I think my favorite is my old HP Pavilion desktop that I haven't even fired up in the last 5-7 years or so.  It's my favorite because it's what got me into PC's  and upgrading parts. I probably burned a million cd's and dvd's on that thing.  It also taught me what kind of walls you can expect to run into when buying big name pre-builts.  

 

So there it still sits in all it's former glory next to my current battle station as a constant reminder of not only how I got into this hobby but also how much technology has advanced since then.

Ryzen 2400G in Antec ISK110

Right now with a 64GB Samsung 830 and a 1TB Hitachi Drive out of Playstation 4.

 

Because its so small, power efficient and awesome for the size.

[FezBoy]

'Prolly my gamecube, even though the frikkin C-stick drifts like crazy.

 

If you meant PCs, then my r5 2600/ 1060 3gb build (AKA my only one.)

[ApusDot]

I'm still stuck with my Asus g73JH from 2010 =/

I'm way outdated, but it's the one I have and still works sort of smoothly. I just upgraded to an SSD for now...

depending on the model that is still decent for everyday use. is it an i7 QM model?

Yeah, it's still usable. I edit a lot of video with it. Sort of on the slow side, but again, usable.

It's a 1st gen core i7 cpu Q740 1.72 GHz 1.72 GHz

 

An SSD made the world of a difference speed-wise. I couldn't do without one anymore.

that's a quadcore, so yea it would still be usable. 

 

i couldn't live without an SSD either. it makes such a big difference.

My main rig: Project Enza.

I am really happy with my 4k gaming computer. For the first time I am getting the experience I want.

The only upgrades I have planned are upgrading the 1tb SSD to a 2tb SSD and getting a monitor with a higher refresh rate. The monitor does not exist so it will be a while but the SSD will be some time this year.

 

i7 8086k

RTX 2080 ti

16gbs 3200

1tb SATA SSD

LG 32" VA 60hz monitor

Probably my Xeon E3-1230 build that I have powering a media PC. Got it mated to a Z68 V-Pro and currently have a GTX 1050 in it which was upgraded from CF 6770s. Kind of an oddball build but it holds up pretty well. 

[Omega9]

Intresting, I have a generic Acer AXC-605 pc for the kids... I, alone, use my own monster that I built a long time ago..:

 

Intel DD45SG mobo

Intel CPU Core 2 Extreme Qx9650

8 GB SD-RAM @ 1066,

     I haven’t been able to upgrade the ram

1x ASUS GTX 1050Ti

2x SSD’s (500 GB each)

full ATX - ThermalTake case

700 watts power supply.

 

i would love to have a SLI based system...

but I have no idea how to ensure to its a top gaming system that would allow me to enjoy it for years to come...

 

[JoeCoke]

Oh boy.... I guess that'd be my pentium iii Optiplex GX110. That thing has been through some serious shit, but it still lives. Most reliable system in my collection. Out of my relevant systems... My bedroom Athlon 64 x2 HTPC (specs in sig), it's a monster.
