What is your primary computer?

For personal reasons, I'm curious as to what type of computer everyone is accessing from, but moreso the age of it.

As you can see from when I joined, I'm not new and this is not a scam or some sort of spam. You don't have to go into detail if you don't want to, but I would appreciate it. If you're more comfortable, then feel free to PM me.

I'm looking for CPU/RAM/HD models/numbers mostly, if you know it. If not, a "Dell XXXX" or "HP XXXX" is fine too.

If you primarily view the forums from a mobile device, then also feel free to say so.

I appreciate any and all input. Thanks guys!

Well I wasn't expecting an explosion of responses, but nothin' guys? I'm a college student that builds computers on the side, and I'm just curious what most people are using these days. I'm not lookin' for any kind of personal information. Anything is helpful. Thanks to those that have already voted in the pole.

Primary is my iPhone 3. It does a lot of similar functions and actions as my computer does. Can't stand laptops and I do have a desktop that isn't used so much anymore.

half a year old old Acer Aspire Laptop here. I bought it when I moved out of my Mom's last fall. It does everything I need it to, the only place it's lacking is in graphics, but I only game on my xbox 360, so I'm not really worried about it.

Edit: stats on my laptop: Intel Pentium P6200, 2.13 GHz, 3mb L3 cache, Intel HD graphics, 4 GB DDR3 Memory, 500GB HDD.

I don't really understand what most of that means, but it's all on a sticker beneath the keyboard.

Alright, alright... you know how I hate this crap. lol I just want to surf man.


PC since '87.

Current HP p7-1110, x64 based PC, Intel Core 13-2120, CPU @3.3GHz, 3300Mhz, 1TB drive, 6GB mem

I tried a Dell laptop about 10 yrs ago and it - along with a client who had the same model - was slower than dirt. Tried everything to clean it up. I finally killed it with my .45 - not out of anger but so I wouldn't waste any more of my life with it.

Went back to Compaq/HP and they're great. This is my 5th from them since 94ish.

Here's a blast from my PC past. (Apple software availability was still limited compared to MS/IBM so that's why I never went Apple. 80's - 90's Gates v Jobs was like VHS v BetaMax at the time. Closed = lose.)

My original Word & Excel diskettes. Used on my '94 Compaq laptop, I wrote and published my Legacy Book just with these. That was Windows 3.1 and it was a fool proof tank. All the commercial printer had to do was drop photo's in the formated places. (I tried a Parallel based scanner but they weren't up to speed yet for crisp photo's.) Computer still works too - no viruses no junk because it never went online. I didn't surf until 96/97 with a desktop.

Probably about 80% of my computer time is split evenly between a 3 year old 10" netbook and a 2 year old 15" laptop. The rest of the time is either on my Droid Razr or Kindle Fire. Eventually I plan to get a 13" or 14" Ultrabook and a new PC, but I'm making do for now.
