When you see their computers with Norton or McAfee and I'm just like "get that sh** off your PC now."

In a life born so wicked and stricked , I've learned to hold dear truth

The future to always pass quickly  To them and myself I plead   

May the unforeseen powers forgive us  For our mistakes, Sins, and shortcomings.

Just upgraded my dad with an SSD, he loves it.

Upgraded my sister's pc with my old 128GB SSD, super nice to use PC now.

 

Tried convincing my other sister to upgrade her laptop with an SSD, she told me she doesn't want to drop any money on it.

An SSD is one of these components that you never want to get rid of anymore ever once you tasted it's speed.

So many things I could write here... things like this.

Sister: MacBook Pro Mid 2014 with an i7 (not knowledgeable enough about macs to know about model and stuff)

Me: Only desktop Athlon II x3 450 + HD7750

 

Don't care enough to know the models of the laptops.

Hey I have a 7750 too (and that kinda sucks)!

 

There is only one PC in my family since a laptop we used to have died 3 months ago

 

CPU: i3 530 (Don't ask me why, I didn't build it)

GPU: HD 7750 (I put that in there!)

RAM: 4 sticks of 6GB (1+1 and 2+2)

 

Edit:

I also have a tablet (ASUS TF300), if that counts as a computer.

Mom's laptop. Good god I don't know. It's a dell it has a hdmi 1.3 output. Must be pre 2006 or something :/ It came with vista but swapped it for xubuntu last year. Since she only checks mails and watch news or yt. Windows 8 was too complicated for her to upgrade. And I don't want to teach her this damned os.

 

And it has a dualcore. I'm too scared to open devicemanager on that thing. I might find ddr2 memory and other ancient hardware.
