I believe ULV i5s and i7s are both hyper-threaded and both usually use the same iGPU. The 15" MacBook Pro, I would because it's hyper-threaded vs not hyper-threaded Thanks for that one.

Posted July 12, 2017 Just now, Tibbles said: there are way cheaper non apple laptops with A E S T H E T I C™ technology. lol Like what? There's a couple options from HP that might be a little cheaper and look ok. Dell's closest options would be about the same price as Apple. But honestly I don't think Apple's pricing is actually that bad. I mean there's obviously an Apple tax or rather a premium to be had for Apple's hardware but for computers that directly compete with it cost roughly the same +/- $100-$300. a Moo Floof connoisseur and curator. @handymanshandle x @pinksnowbirdie || Jake x Brendan Youtube Audio Normalization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are Windows 10 quirks that just pisses me off. Nah I get it. I've not had much time to play too many games because of work and a sleep schedule that has me almost either sleeping or at work. Which is unduly fault of my own. But I don't use my Win10 laptop that much because of my desktop and I've been thinking about eventually walking to work and if I were to start doing that I would likely leave a fair bit early and instead of draining the juice from my phone, I would want to bring a laptop with me that isn't heavy like my Win10 laptop and would fit into the lockers at work, unlike my Win10 laptop. I mean for travel, I'd be more willing to bring the Win10 laptop because it's not as expensive so if it's damaged or something, I'm not out as much money. Not that I'd be concerned with something like that but still. Windows 10 has been fine for me. a Moo Floof connoisseur and curator. @handymanshandle x @pinksnowbirdie || Jake x Brendan Youtube Audio Normalization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's Windows 10's fault or Dell's crappy optimization like yesterday when my laptop refuses to wake from sleep so I have to hard reset. Most of the time, it's fine. I mean, I should take Microsoft's work right. There is more that meets the eye I see the soul that is inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, the first thing that someone should do with a brand new laptop is to reinstall Windows right away, fresh and only with the software that you want on it.

Posted July 12, 2017 wow this thread moves well I aint gunna quote But banks never cared about security, look how long it took them to get past the mag strip. Sure chip is good, but then they added Tap, which is yet another joke alongside mag strip. I do agree that parents snooping around in your room is very uncool, however they have the right to do that. You just gotta learn to deal with it, and not be so careless and leave shit out for them to look at. It all gives you a reason to move out of their house when you are 18. You could try talking to them in a reasonable manner. Otherwise you gotta start hiding shit and that is very unhealthy, even toxic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still EMV chip cards are still better than Mag stripe. I don't totally agree on MasterCard about having a finger print reader on the card itself. But maybe have pin pads that have fingerprint readers built into them and the banks would be equipped to register fingers to card(s) if the account owner(s) chose to do that. a Moo Floof connoisseur and curator. @handymanshandle x @pinksnowbirdie || Jake x Brendan Youtube Audio Normalization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
