Who still has a desktop computer at home that still works?

[FreyaRed]

I play games sometimes and I use 3d modeling and renedering applications. A destkop PC with power hungry Nvidia GPU connected to a 55'' 4k OLED is the best option for me at home.

We have three desktops and 4 laptops.

I mean, it technically still works, but not properly. I got mine around 2012/2013. I tried to use it for as long as I could, but about 3 years ago, I no longer could. It randomly started crashing in the middle of using and even resetting it to factory settings didn't help, so I was pretty much forced to get a laptop. I wasn't surprised, because my previous one lasted about 10 years as well.

I still have files stored on it though, and I don't turn it on unless I absolutely have to, and when I do, I try not to use it for more than 30 minutes, 'cuz I'm afraid it'll crash

I don't see a smart enough alternative for intelligent and creative computer activity.

I'm ''still'' a person who refuses to smear fingers over a tiny screen, or to fiddle around with some non-precise mouse-pad.

''Still works'' indeed is a struggle - nowadays too much Chinese crap lasts not long enough - so that I'm forced to replace components more often than I'd wish to.

But -hey- Chinaman was bold enough to grab our balls, and now we pay the price for it.

I do. I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre, but also two older IMacs that still work. I've had several HP laptops, but both had their hard drives go out, so I won't be buying another from them.

I switched to a laptop 5 years ago, after my Dell desktop running WinXP finally died. Actually, it didn't die, it just got so slow that I could no longer do much with it. I sold it for US$10 in a garage sale.

[KostasKouvalis]

I have a Dell with an XP as well. Something similar happened to mine. It started running so slowly and started randomly crashing every 5 minutes in the middle of use. I tried to hold out as long as I could, and I even put it back to factory settings. It helped a little bit but not much. I was basically forced to buy a laptop, because it basically became impossible to work on it

[IslaTheWitch]

I have... a gaming setup... much better and more efficient than any gaming laptop :D

[NathanDavis]

Desktops as they are... are not outdated at all...

however, I do have a couple from 2008 and 2012... and in theory, they could still run and work too, lol

[IslaTheWitch]

I still have a laptop from 1995 with Windows 3.1 :D

[NathanDavis]

@IslaTheWitch ms-dos?

[IslaTheWitch]

of course :D

[NathanDavis]

@IslaTheWitch mine end up as Linux...

[IslaTheWitch]

@NathanDavis nah... I like it too much... brings memories :D

[NathanDavis]

@IslaTheWitch don't they have like 64 bits of memory... lol

[IslaTheWitch]

I think it has 4 or 8MB... I would have to check lol

[NathanDavis]

@IslaTheWitch big difference there... between going to the moon, and making it back

[IslaTheWitch]

lmao :D

My dad has one but I don't think he ever uses it. I thought about it once because I heard they were faster than laptops but I can't imagine anything faster than my laptop or that I would need anything faster so I never got one.

[slatyb]

I do. I bought it like ten years ago for Sim racing. It had the best graphics card available, and I connected it to an Oculus Rift.

[PepperJackson]

No. As she got older I kept installing lighter distros of Linux on her. Mint, Lubuntu, Puppy... then she gave up the ghost.

[Unit1]

Me. These are superior to laptops. I assembled mine in the beginning 2016

I have an old one in my basement and it still works. I mostly use a laptop these days.

[FunkyMonkee]

I hate laptops - the screens and keyboards are too small and hard to use.
