The worst ever laptop in existence, i was as stupid as to go and buy Dell Studio 1555.
It looks good, but it sucks when it comes to security.

The laptop itself doesn't determine the security, the OS and the person using it do.

not when it comes to a computer who's system breaks down before i put ANYTHING on it. I am NOT kidding. I had the pc, with nothing on it only a few docs i wrote and a couple pieces of art i tried to draw. And it started to mess up. Every anti-virus i would get, would become a virus itself. Everyone knows how crappy Dell computers are (not as bad as acer, but still).

I'm using a Sony Vaio laptop that I bought in 2008. I know nothing more about it... except that it works.

Dell computers are fine. Windows is also the same across brands. Any security issues are caused after purchase, generally through naiveté or negligence. Get a decent Security suite and watch what you download.

Well, you must have visited a site or downloaded something without realizing either were infected. Security issues don't happen out of the box unless you're being intentionally targeted by malware at your IP address at the time you connect to the internet. Sure, there may be that useless bloatware that it comes with, but that stuff is harmless and only hogs your system resources and it will let you uninstall it.

Also, Dell had a mishap in the middle of this decade with a driver and failed to own up and recall all its machines while its competitors were much smarter and chose to recall the machines with the failed driver. Their brand suffered as a result. That doesn't mean new Dells are bad. Their customer support is supposedly among the worst in the industry, though.

I am using an Alienware. I really like their computers, they last the longest out of any other computer I've ever bought.

A POS eMachines netbook that can't handle more than 5 tabs open at a time when I'm using Google Chrome. 1GB of RAM is simply not enough:/

It's only a cheap temp computer till I can find work and get a decent job...

Okami Chi May 27th, 2011 5:08 AM

Frostweaver May 27th, 2011 5:22 AM

Acer Aspire 7745G, got it when it's on sales and 300 dollars off XD

Supposedly not the greatest thing ever cause it uses DDR3 not DDR5 RAM but I'm not techy enough to know the fine difference of it to begin with =P

DDR5 is only used in video cards because it's actually worse than DDR3 in the areas that actually matter more to the rest of your system when it comes to system performance. So DDR3 is the best RAM widely available in a desktop, laptop, or netbook.

You shouldn't expect much battery out of a high-powered quad. Then again, the graphics in those is pretty light. Also, basically all manufacturers overestimate their battery life by having EVERYTHING turned down to the minimum. Normal usage should be ~65% of that.

I use a three year old Compaq CG60.

Most of the time (Unless I'm gaming) 2 of the cores are turned off, it just needed a reformat, Windows 7 Arc gamer and boom 2 hours on idle, crapware was killing it I guess =P From 91 proceses to 32 and from 30% CPU usage in 2 cores to 0% all around and 234mb of ram ^-^ I wonder why manufacturers bloat windows on their PCs..... Lol, it kills the point of a quad if it feels like a single core...
