It is not about need, it's about joining the 21st century for relatively no investment.

when sitting on one all day is a requirement of your job, it's not all that exciting. I have a MBP I sort of inherited from my wife/her employer and never use the thing. I'm just already on my work one so it's easier to use that.

Maybe I'll keep this thing...

I bought what was in stock at Costco, this $800:
https://www.costco.com/lenovo-ideapad-5 ... 45160.html

I may return it for this since it's onsale for $500, only online ...
https://www.costco.com/lenovo-ideapad-3 ... 67806.html

The $500 one is obviously worse in a number of ways, but I'm not sure it's worse enough that I'd even notice. The extra $300 back would be nice because .

I don't know much about computers anymore and don't really care. Obviously, because it's been a decade since I bought anything so anything is fast.

That $500 one is pretty nice.

Right? I don't see the value in the $800 over the $500 one, especially for what I do. DFD, pRon, etc.

There's none. Everything's the same except for the CPU, and the cheaper one is still a plenty good 6 core Ryzen chip. Better than what I'm using today.

I need help that requires admins. Mostly for passport issues.

I got a little problem with my DFD usability. Also I forgot my password probably 1 year ago. I don't typically have wide range of passports for pretty much anything, and tried anything I could think of, but none worked. So I did what any joe would do and press forgot password, never received an email for the amount of attempts god knows how many times I've tried from time to time within the past 6-8 months.

Now I can only access to Dfd via tapatalk off my phone and on my laptop (automatically remembers my ps.). I recently got an ipad so I don't use my laptop as much anymore. But I somehow can't upload pics off tp anymore for whatever reason. Also being a tapatalk, long ago I changed notification settings to off cause I kept getting endless notifications for things that aren't directed to me. Now I tried to register myself as a new member and still got nothing, including a secondary email where it lets me know im activated.

She paid me a few hundo for it because she needs it for her business and already has all of her stuff on it. So I used that money and got the base entry level MacBook Air for $900. It has Apple’s proprietary M1 chip and it is fucking insane. The $900 air is faster and more efficient than the Intel Chip MBP I got for $1,800 two years earlier.

MBP has better components for more professional use and also has more ports available which she needs to connect to her printers and cutting machines and stuff so it’s a win-win.

She already sticker-bombed the laptop with pink shit.

Pretty happy with the purchase. I am an Apple retard though. But now that I have modern gear across the board the seamless integration for using everything is

Pretty much the same for me too any new macbook will be a "this is it" laptop for me. I'm now rocking a 2014 Macbook Pro. Last time I got a brand spanking new laptop was in 2009

I'm sure that extra $300 might be worth it, but depends on the purpose you're using it for.

Purpose is virtual interviews, DFD, pRon, maybe watching some YouTube. I don't need anything fancy.

I like Lenovo products, always good durability from the IBM days and reasonably priced. I could get a cheaper HP, but my last 2 work laptops we're HPs and they had shit build quality. My last one was missing two keys and I never abused it really.

Apple is the best quality, but just can't justify the cost.

IN your defense, I have really loved the Apple laptops I've had (I've owned the OG MacBook and 2 Pros, one from work, one the aforementioned one I got on the way cheap from my wife's employer)... I have had three different Dells from three different companies and they are absolute dogshit comparatively in basically every way. They run clunkier, they break more, they just look/feel cheap, the track pads are fucking heinous, built in audio is shit, etc.

Now, the Apple phones are more of a 3/7 to me, my iTrude 8 is starting to be shitty just because Apple wants it to be shitty, IMO. They are but I think I like Pixels better and they're not $1200.

That's what I thought. I think there's some subtle differences between the quality of components, but IDGAF
