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

Question

FreyaRed · Accepted Answer

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.

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.

NathanDavis · Answer

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 are not outdated at all...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

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 · Answer

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.

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