Gotta have Gigabit Ethernet. I have been in plenty of places where Wifi isn';t the standard and you need Ethernet.
Got no clutch? You ain't much.
What does PDK have to do with racing? Double clutch gearboxes are becoming standard on a lot of non racing cars nowdays. But I do agree with your statement on complication. duble clutches are expensive and heavier. Manuals are the best.
People actually think a car for grandpa needs to be fast.
same here
This is one of my favorite all time cars. One day I will own one.
Fugly. I liked the old models "whale tail". Love the V8TT though.
You aren't forced to do anything. They recommend it though.
That would be true except the problem isn't NFC, it's the encryption behind it. NFC isn't the thing that was hacked, it is the encryption, that was in both cases.
My next laptop will be a Macbook. I am starting school gain and I need a quality machine to last me 4 years. The only failure on machines I have are the DC jacks, and when they fail it's my fault. I am not careful with my machines. I trip over cords a lot. That is why I am excited about the MagSafe cord on the Macbook.
I agree with you there. But it seems like you are saying that it is impossible to find a good build in a laptop when it isn't. Yeah you have to do a little more work, and maybe article writers could do more info about build quality, but it certainly is not impossible or even difficult. Google is your friend.\
Also what do you really expect for under $500?
First off, calm down. I am just having a discussion with you not arguing with you, it isn't that serious.
"I never said no Windows laptops have good build quality, nor did I claim Apple products are flawless. Common straw man fallacy. I'm aware Lenovo laptops have great build quality, but if you're being disingenuous if you ignore the fact that literally 99% of Windows laptops don't."
Lenovo makes a huge chunk of Windows laptops. They are greater than 1% of laptops. More like 13% of the laptops out there. You say that 99% of laptops don't have good build quality. Where did you get your 99% figure from? Obviously you haven't tried 99% of the laptops out there, have you?
"The point is that if you look at articles like these (e.g. "best laptops under _____," "cheapest gaming laptops," "best value laptops"), the important factor of build quality is never taken into account at all. Finding out whether any of these laptops has decent build quality (and therefore is worth buying) is tedious, which is why the OP said that the experience of buying Windows PCs is "horrible."
Most articles here on Gizmodo and other sites take build quality into factoring. I don't know why you have missed that because I never miss when they mention them. If you want to check out build quality you just go to the store and check them out in person.
"On the other hand, you can bet that any Mac you buy will have top-notch build quality. That doesn't mean great build quality is exclusive to Apple; I'm sure there are one or two Dell and HP laptops that are built well. And maybe the majority of Lenovo laptops have great build quality. But I don't see how any of this refutes the original point that buying Windows computers is ridiculously troublesome compared to buying Macs."
Again, you go the store and check them out in person. I know Lenovo makes solid machines because I go to the store and physically play with them. Who buys a PC site unseen? That is a pretty big gamble IMO. Apple - Top build quality. Dell - shit.
What the hell are you doing on your laptop that they don't last long? Most people don't have that problem. I have owned 3 Thinkpads (all used) and an Ideapad and they all are still working fine and run Windows 7 without a hitch. Lenovo Thinkpads all run well. Apple also makes a good product but it isn't perfect. If I had to get a new or used laptop today it would be either a Lenovo Thinkpad or an Apple Macbook.
Sent from my 4 year old Ideapad.
A Lenovo PC will. I speak from experience.
You didn't get the joke. 2 in the pink one in the stink. Google it if you are still lost.
I don't get it. The person behind you isn't in trouble the poor fool in front of you is the one gonna get creamed.
You forgot make all cars with manual transmissions and no cruise control.
OK it's terrible an all but what can be done? I don't think most Americans give a shit about who built their iPad or the conditions they live or work in, and as long as the factories that build this stuff are outside of North America these policies will never change. It's nice to talk about stuff but what can you do? The only way to end this is for Apple to get iPads built here and then the price will either go up, or they will make way less profit. No company is going to make less profit in the name of worker health. Unless the government forces them to.
especially blood stained.
That's why you don't store stuff ONLY o the cloud. That would be suicide.
