What exactly inspired you to come to Linus Tech Tips?

[PlayStation 2]

In honor of my 10,000th post, I kinda wanna do a thread.

 

So, what inspired you to come to LTT?

For me, it was being bored in school and me creating an account for fuck all.

[BurblingBarbacoa]

Pretty much the same. In school as I post...

For me it was finding the site while learning more about computers. I had seen the channel when I was checking out 980ti rumors (pushing off buying my first extreme system.) They mentioned a forum and I came here for shits and giggles.

 

After that the helpful people (generally), and responsive attitudes (always) was a real reason for me to stick around and spread my own knowledge.

[Moonzy]

for me, i built a new computer, had issue with fan hub, came here for help, no one could help (its a weird situation so i dont blame anyone)

stayed for the lulz `-`

[Guest]

i came because i wanted a computer.

I did not know what to do...

 

[Atmos]

No real reason in particular. Had been a fan of the channel for some time, never really bothered with creating an account until it crossed my mind after linus mentioned it in some video quite a while back.

 

also, gratz on 10k

[thekeemo]

giveaways

[Hackentosher]

Pretty sure I just heard @Slick talking about it a lot on the WAN show, I started creepin' a bit, then made an account.

[GreezyJeezy]

i dont know how to do shit and need to know how to do shit.

[TravisB]

Learning more about computers, fixing my problems, find out good deals

[AyeJayKay]

Probably was drawn to the OG unboxings that Linus used to do.

[Hamako]

I came here to enlighten people about second hand business laptops and why you should always buy those over a cheap new laptop.

 

Also to spread some ThinkPad love.

[Thony]

LTT as a YouTube channel : for its unboxings. I was looking into getting new PC and I've always known it's best to build it yourself. So I turned to YouTube and found Linus (at that time he maybe had 100K subs). 

 

His live shows from kitchen or garage and his personality and knowledge immediately caught my attention and I liked him at first sight lol (I think the 1st vid I watched was a mobo unboxing in parking lot outside NCIX during his break, I wanted AMD fx6300 mobo  )

 

As for LTT forum I joined just to see what it's all about. 4000+ posts later I'm still here and I will until I keep my interest in new tech.

 

End of wall of text. Thx for reading LOL.

"Second hand business laptops" u mean cheap one with integraded GPU aimed for MS office and spreadsheets use ?

[stconquest]

I wanted to try a Phenom II X6 1055t, and Linus had a good overclocking guide.

 

I am not sure why I exactly I came to the forum:

 

1.  I was directed here.  (Youtube)

 

2.  Either a giveaway, or curiosity. 

[Nup]

I built a pc, and wanted to do more with it, talk about my passion. Where better to do it then ideally a place where others share this desire?

 

Ultimatly i I didn't do that much more advanced stuff, but the community has good people and it's fair share of moments, so I stayed. 

Also grats on 10,000! 

[Rune]

Fairly certain I killed a z77 sabertooth and was looking for help.

[lol1290]

Was building my first pc, needed some advice.

 

Best forum ever!

[bgibbz]

I started watching LTT because when i was building my computer, nearly every part i was thinking about buying they had a review on. A few months after that i decided to just read through the forum. Now i read through and post stuff and its all fun. plus, im bored AF in school.

Depends, there are different types of business laptops. There are stronger Workstation models for example which always have CAD certified GPU's, or regular machines that are more portable. Their aims vary as well. Some are designed as a mobile typing machines (hence, excellent keyboards) and others can be digital note-taking devices (with Digitizers), although you can use them for whatever you need really. Prices vary as well and include anything from 2 to 4 digit prices.

 

It can be debated what business laptops essentially are, but I'd say that durability and functionality are the main traits.

[Commander Llama]

I like discussion forums, they're like my trolly, shitposty, informative, daily newspaper. LTT is just my latest forum! First came here due to finding LTT on YouTube.

[Coaxialgamer]

well , when i started watching ltt ( back in late 2014 ) , i quickly created a profile ( because i was having issues with a computer ) , and i saw that their was a huge community here .

At first , i wasn't very active , but i started coming more and more  after a while.
