And having a massive amount of screen real estate between 3 monitors. Its almost damned near impossible to work efficiently with one monitor.

I second this.  I refuse to have program open that isn't full screen.  I also don't get how people use so many tabs I'm their browser.  I open a new window in a new monitor almost every time.

Windows Aero Snap (Windows 7 and newer). Anytime I'm messing with Vista or earlier (for some unknown reason), I can't stand not being able to snap windows.

I didn't think about these two in the OP but yea most definitely agree. I was trying to use the snap feature on some iMacs at school and it was such a pain because one program didn't support it and would just go fullscreen. In windows almost every windowed app supports it.

 

EDIT: I'm not on W10 but I feel like work spaces would be a huge benefit.

While I dont have everything fullscreen(unless im editing video), I def need things I'm working on to be half screen at minimum. The million tabs I dont understand either.

I'm on the same boat about forgetting about snap. Also used virtual monitors a lot when I was on OSX. Now I'm happy I have both on windows

the SSD in my macbook pro

holy shit this thing is fast as hell. 700 read and 1.3gb write. 

Can't go back a mechanical drive again.

Also, my 980ti for the silky smooth 60fps experience. Anything below just isn't the same anymore

[ThinkWithPortals]

Tough one. I'm going to have to pick two... SSDs and my Ultrawide monitor.

I've gotten so impatient with loading times, an HDD-only computer is going to be really difficult to use. And I will never, ever be able to use a normal monitor again. Ultrawide is life.

[Mooshi]

I'd say mechanical keyboards. Whenever I go to a store and browse the electronic section, I always utter gross when touching a squishy keyboard...especially laptop keyboards. 

[Spork829]

My G402. Mice with acceleration disgust me. 

[Mira Yurizaki]

Fuel injection.

 

When you have to deal with setting chokes and letting the engine warm up, being able to start and go is a godsend.

[Brian McKee]

Easy. My modified insignia bookshelf speakers and other speakers I've owned. I've gotten so used to good audio that I can't listen to tinny shit like bluetooth speakers without cringing.

 

Also I guess to a lesser extent I could say my Pentax K-01 spoiled me when it comes to photography. Not having manual controls on a camera is beyond frustrating to me now when I'm trying to compose shots.

The original PlayStation, I grew up in a rural area that didn't even get TV reception, we had a TV and VCR for watching movies though, when we got a ps1 for Christmas it was like opening a whole new freaking world, my brothers and I loved playing gran turismo.

I don't know what it is but lenovo makes some of the best keyboard in laptops ever. We used to have an old cheapo lenovo that was like <$300 but it had a better keyboard than most of the laptops I've ever used. The only ones I like better are the the non-butterfly switch macbooks, and the blade.

[deVIZtation]

I have to give it to the SSD. I can't stand working on a computer without one. Every time a friend asks me to look at their computer because it's running slow, it literally takes me 10 times longer to run ccleaner, malwarebytes, antivirus, etc.

[Spookshow]

My wife says GPS. It has spoiled her the most. To the point she can't even read a map. 

[YongKang]

My blue IQUE Gameboy Advance SP that I lent to a "friend" and he lost it. (-.-)
That screen on bright mode was brighter than any other ones and the battery life was much better than the original.
Hope that fktard remember where he put it and bring my precious back!

[SansVarnic]

All of it.

Oh man. I had the advance and remember when the SP came out with the backlight so you could play at night I thought it was amazing. It was also small enough to fit in a pocket but I didn't play enough to try getting one.

iQue? How the fuck did you end up with an iQue Game Boy Advance?

I bought it when I went back to China. It was such a goodie.

Damn. I would fucking love to own either some iQue DS, Game Boy, or the iQue Player (that Nintendo 64 thing).

Which model are you using??? 

[Thunderpup]

Wireless- Being able to have internet without being tethered is pretty nice.

Cable internet- I had dial up until about 11 years ago and it sucked.

Heated Mattress pad- One of those "why did i wait so long" purchases.  In the winter having a bed that is already warm when you get in it is very nice.  Also allows me to keep the thermostat down at night. 

Bluetooth- Being able to connect or control a device without worrying about hitting an IR sensor is great.

Red Dot Sights- Cause Iron sights suck. 

[NunoLava1998]

SSD's.

Time it took to boot up before SSD was inserted: 2 minutes with crappy system of G100

Time it took to boot up after SSD was inserted: 11 seconds.

That is, from the POST beep to Windows Desktop.
