| Mine is terrible. It's a potato-lowend laptop which is only about $100-$250. It barely can run latest/recent games. But atleast it can run some old games or light games and i can use it for something, like what am i doing rn, even though it's very limited lol. what about ya? what do you use it for? |
| Gaming, youtube, social media stuff, and probably about it. I got a gaming PC, but hardly game most of the time. |
| Mine is a desktop PC that i built some years ago as a gaming PC but i transformed it into a workstation pratically. I use it mainly for 3D art like modeling, rendering etc. and for watching anime and browsing internet, i don't play games anymore pratically. If someone is interested in the specs i'll leave them here: - Intel Core i7 2600k 3.80 GHz - Asus Nvidia GeForece GTX 950 Strix - 24 GB Ram DDR3 Corsair XMS - Asus P8P67 Deluxe rev 3 - WD Velociraptor 300 GB at 10.000 RPM ( internal HDD ) - WD My Passport 1 TB ( external HDD 1 ) - WD MY Passport 2 TB ( external HDD 2 ) - Windows 10 Pro Accessories and this kind of stuff: Mouse: CSL Vertical Mouse TM137U ( it is a wrist saver ) Keyboard: Razer Ornata Chroma Mat: Razer Firefly Audio: Bose Companion 3 Series II Tablet: Wacom Intuos Small Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 24" 1080p |
 im encoding anime at the moment thats why its hot like that we use this PC for internet browsing and some gaming my brother plays like CSGO and DOTA2 |
| As of now, on my 5+ year old laptop, there are extremely few chances that my fan will start but most of the time it's dead. Of course I can't do anything that much with dead fan, even just simple watching YouTube videos because it'll shutdown. Not to mention, this:  I've been struggling with these black spots on my screen for years. Of course, buying a new PC wasn't my option because I don't have a job and if possible, I don't want to borrow my parents' money just to buy a new PC. To be frank, these black spots are bearable to me. However, the defective fan isn't. On January, I'll be studying again so I'll use my student loan for buying a new PC although that means I'll be going to sacrifice my meals. |

deg said: @Tennouji those black spots seems like paints and not really part of the what the display/monitor is showing If you personally check and see them carefully, they're not paints. The LCD really needs replacement. Besides, there were 3 black spots at first but it increased for some unknown reason. No one touches my laptop here in my house anyway and I never brought it outside. |

The possible reason is it could be dropping the laptop, stress on the screen as in putting heavy stuff on top of the cover, it could be heat excess as you mentioned the fans were not operating hence putting stress on the screen. -------------------------------------------- I bought my laptop back in 2013 and still using it as of now. Few months ago I have added in a SSD to add the essential programs and it is my main PC. For everything, from web browsing to anime and casual gaming. |

I see. Well, this is a 2nd hand laptop and there were already 3 black spots after I received this. I never put stuffs on top of the cover and my fan became defective just recently but the increase of black spots happened way before that like years ago that I couldn't remember. I just only assumed that this laptop is pretty much old anyway with tons of issues such as USB and audio/mic hubs on the right side aren't operable anymore, laptop keyboard and touchpad aren't working too, dead battery, etc. But I'm still using this for around 4 years. |

I see guess it could be a defective laptop and for the USB audio/ mic issues since it is windows 7, Do you know if you have the drivers installed to be able to operate the USB. Some older laptops like my one, would require a driver to be able to work properly. You can find the drivers at your manufactures website and model |

So no matter how or which USBs I insert, the laptop will never read it. For now, everything is inserted on the left hub with external hub so I could use my USB keyboard, mouse, and headphones. Although the left hub is very sensitive too like if I budge the external hub just a little bit, it'll lost the connection. |
|
| @Tennouji ,hmm motherboard replacement then which as you say better off just buying a new PC. Forget 2nd hand and just buy it new, treat it well and last you long enough |

| I use my PC for pretty much everything. Mostly I browse the Internet or watch youtube videos. But I do play some games, edit videos, 3D model, code etc. It's really old but it can still beat most i7 PC's in multicore performance. My graphics card is pretty bad, maybe I'll upgrade it to something better someday. Specs:
 |
Intel Xeon X5670 @ 4.4GHz 6c/12t, Asus P6X58D-E, 24gb Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz, Asus GeForce GTX 960 Turbo OC, 250gb Samsung SSD, 2x 2tb HDD, Fractal Design Define R5 |
 I use it mostly for programming work and gaming, the graphics card could do with an upgrade when I decide to go for a 4k screen. |
 |
| I have two laptops One is for college and the other is for personal use |
 |
| I own two computer, one is for mine and other one is for my older brother. My computer screen is Acer, an company from Taiwan. Also, my mother used to own a laptop until her meltdown that drove her away and we forced her to take her to the mental instution. The laptop she owns is Lenovo, an company from China. My specs are look like this: Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) X4 750K Quad Core Processor Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB System type: 64-bit Operating System, x65-based processor Pen and Touch: None My windows OS is Windows 10, which i contiune to use to this today. (sorry for my poor English) |
 |
I've got one of these. 2500$ later... It's nice tho. I have a gaming laptop too, but after using such a big ultra monitor I can't go back to such a small screen. Now this just collects dust. |
| Current Specs: - i5 4460 - 16gb DDR3 ram - GTX 980 ti - 650w G2 80+ Gold They aren't all of my specs obviously, but the important ones are there. I mainly just game and watch youtube on my pc. |
| Celeron Intel hd graphics 4gb ddr3 Its a heap of trash but good enough for Counterstike 1.6 and anime so im fine with it. |
| Mine's a refurbished potato. Can't even run Overwatch. The battery life is less than two hours unplugged. Going to get a new one before I start college. Intel HD Graphics Family, Windows 7, 4GB RAM. I basically just use it for stuff like MAL, YouTube, and watching anime, though I've been surprised by a few games I could run (Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus, Skullgirls). |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I have two computers in use at the moment. The first one is my main gaming rig and has the following characteristics:  And the second one is an Asus t102ha as shown below  It only has an atom processor, 4 gigs in ram and 64 of internal HD, however it's absurdly useful when traveling or laying lazily on the bed and has the longest battery life of any laptop that I've owned to this point (Working as far as 14 hours of continuous MS word usage). I also keep another low-power computers around but most of those are dedicated to network security and routing (Firewall, honeypots, terminals, that kind of thing) And I'm currently looking into turning a motherboard with an i3 6100 that I cannibalized from my brother's PC (An i5 8400 with a gtx 1050 and 12 gigs in ram) into a home server. |

| What I lack in performance I make up with numbers. I have about 9 or 10 PC-s, though most of them are retro. The oldest currently working one is an AMD based 386, the youngest retro build is a Core2 Quad Q6600 with 4GB RAM and a Geforce 8800 Ultra. And my everyday PC-s are boring though. One is strictly for work related stuff, it's a Dell Optiplex 7010 SFF with an i5-3470, the other is another older custom build (Phenom X6; 8GB RAM and an HD7850) which served me for the better part of the decade and will soon join the retro group and be replaced with a more up to date one. Likely a budget build since I don't play as much as I did when I bought this one. |

| I've got a beautiful 12 years old computer. He still works fine and is good enough to watch anime and browse the internet, the only things I do on my computer |
| If you have a old/cost effective laptop or pc. I would say you should just switch to console gaming. Getting a console in 2018 is very cheap and effective. I don't see the point of gaming on PC if you're going to compromise so much by lowering settings to the point it looks like a ps2 game. I wouldn't do that to myself. I would say they're fine for browsing the internet and daily tasks, but for gaming nope. You're just torturing yourself my dude. |
| Surface 3 (128GB version): Watching YouTube videos. Desktop (i5 4690K, Strix 1060, 16GB RAM): Gaming, video editing, graphic design, digital illustration, and watching YouTube videos. |
 |
| I had to leave my gaming pc behind when I moved. At the moment I'm using an old old hand-me-down laptop that came with windows 7 and was forcefully upgraded to windows 10 which makes it unable to do most things. For example, any youtube video takes ~1 minute to load the actual page and another ~30 seconds to load the video. The previous owner was pretty technologically (?) illiterate so when it "looked different" and "slowed down" he decided to give it away and get a new one. Thinking of saving up and rebuilding my desktop, but this little hunk-o-junk will do in the meantime. |
 |
| I use mine for gaming and media. The specs are a bit unconventional, but yes, I can run current AAA games at 1080. Mac Pro 2.1 (Intel based) running Windows 10 natively Dual Xeon X5365 Quad-Cores at 3.0ghz 16GB ram (currently, normally 24 GBs) MSI Aero AMD RX 560 4GB OC 1TB SSD Three HDD's, 1TB, 500GB and 300GB |
 |
| Just upgrade my CPU recently, got a Ryzen 7 1700 now paired with a Gigabyte RX580. I hit stable 60 FPS in most games I'm playing except for Total War: Warhammer II. |
| A notebook with core i5, hd graphics 630, 8gb (I'll increase 4gb or smth) and 1tb It is ok for gaming, but I only play osu btw so fuc this xd (also watch a lot of youtube) |
| I had a 'main PC' which I use regularly at home. It's old 5th gen chip type of stuff, but I got a MacBook for my studies and I plan to get a gaming PC soon. |
| I got a new laptop a few months back after my old one stopped functioning. Specs: Processor: i5-8250U RAM: 8GB DDR4 Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 940MX Storage: 1 TB I basically bought the cheapest one available with those specs (which was still kind of costly for me) and I'm happy with it. All the applications I need run smoothly, game emulators work much better compared to my previous laptop (I only ever play VNs anyways), I can run 2 virtual machines simultaneously without much lag and making amvs/editing videos is much easier. |
 |
| I literally bought a laptop this week. Was €2999 and it can support my htc vive pro. It has an i7-8750h I believe and a gtx 1080 Been playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider all day and never dropped below 105 fps with graphics everything set to ultra |
 plz @ me |
| Acer Nitro 5, got it this summer: CPU: i5-8250U RAM: 8GB DDR4 (now 12GB, upgraded with Kingston SODIMM module "KCP424SS8/8") GPU: Nvidia MX150 SSD: 512GB (Intel 600p), (now 250GB Samsung 970 EVO + M.2 heatsink, 512GB were too much for me to fill up, my friend bought that intel 600p module) IPS screen also. Base price were 849 euros, but for my lucky morning, got it in the end for 659 euros, as last item on Jimm's (PC store) stock special sale, one of my best deals ever had (even compared to my black friday shopping), upgraded RAM and SSD for noticeable improved performance (more noticeable on SSD side) |

| Mine is Lenovo G50 laptop I've had for 4 years now. It's got a Intel Core i3 CPU and 6 gigs of RAM. I mostly use it for work, light gaming and anime. It's time to get a new one, since the warranty has long expired. I'm thinking about getting either a Surface Go, or IdeaPad. |
 |
| I bought my pc 2 years ago i7, gtx 970, and 16 gb ram It's really good for what I really use it for lately XD |
 |
| I just got a new one yesterday for about 1k euros. The screen of my previous one died completely, so I had to storm the closest PC store for one asap... I need one for university. I also have a desktop computer that I've built myself, in the case I wanna do some gaming. |
| University work and gaming. Though the laptop is dated now since the specs are best when the time was 2014 - 2016. My laptop struggles to play new AAA games from 2017 and onward; indie games are fine mostly.
