Apple Fanboy ;)

 

More Apple User, I used to be a total fanboy however both Android and PC Gaming has made me switch away however that will never change my opinion on Mac OS X and Apple Computers absolutely solid build quality and reliability.

Gaming Machine:  Acer Nitro 5, Core i7 10750H, RTX 3060 (L) 6GB, 1TB SSD (Boot), 2TB SSD (Storage), 32GB DDR4 RAM

I'll give you that.

 

Always hated OS X though and the price.

I'm not a fan of the price however due to the Build Quality and OSX I am ok with paying for it. Sure I get shit for buying a logo however I've used OSX since 2001 and its my platform of choice. I did use OS 8 & 9 on an iMac G3 (Parents bought me it when I was 7 Years Old).

 

I've liked your comment because you have your own opinion and seem to respect mine :)

I used to hate everything Apple until ShadowCaptain showed me some valid points for Apple.

My H440 - I'm not sure WHAT exactly I love so much aesthetically, but regardless - it will remain as a trophy case long after the guts have been ripped out.

So hard to choose. I'm gonna go with the 500GB 850 EVO I just bought but haven't received yet. I only have 16GB free remaining on my current one and I don't even have any games on it. I'll be so happy once I don't have to be selective with what I put on it.

Crap I should have said my air conditioning unit in my bedroom which keeps my computer under 35°C ambient and humidity free in the tropics but I'm not sure it counts.

SSD hands down, every day of the week. It was basically a game changer for me. Pretty expensive when I bought one almost 3 years ago, but totally worth every penny.

I really liked my PSP GO and GBA micro.

 

More recently, I really like my GTX 970, and a bit more off the wall the huion 610 pro is a solid tablet for not being wacom fucking stupid expensive. Seriously wacom. I get a 10x8" active area on a $70 tablet compared to your 8.8x5" for $350. It isn't worth another $280 for tilt measurements.

I forgot about that, I almost take them for granted now, until I go on a PC without one.
