  1. New build

    I have been using Windows 10 from just slightly after it was released. When I installed it and booted it up, it took a few restarts to get all of the drivers to work. They work fine now though. I lose internet some times. When I run the troubleshooter it generally fixes it ("Defaut gateway was unavailable" - not sure if this is a Windows 10 problem, though I didn't used to get that in Windows 7) Sometimes there's some other errors, but I think it's because of my old modem/something to do with the internet provider/the fact that I have 7 devices on Wi-Fi and my modem is like 8-10 years old. Other than those two it's been fine. Unless something changed (or the "get windows 10 free for 1 year" ended) you can get the Windows 10 Pro edition (or w/e it's called). That is at least what most people got. By the way, you can actually very easily get any kind of version you want. (check on reddit, don't have the link to it) And what do you mean by layout? Because in a way it is quite different. You don't have the annoying startscreen anymore (maybe you can turn it on though, not sure) and it looks quite similar to Windows 7 (you can always check screenshots online really). Though there is no more control panel (just settings) and some other differences. Why? Can't you just do a backup and boot from that? (plenty of guides on the internet for it) Also, really not sure why people would want to stay on Windows 7, except that maybe they have some really old applications that would stop working. (though in my case, none did) Asides from what you mentioned (start menu bugs), there hasn't been any for me. I am also pretty sure you're not going to get BETA versions unless you agree to be a tester, so there shouldn't be much worry of not getting a finished product. I mean, they were updating Windows 7 pretty much constantly. You can turn that off and it doesn't turn back on. Won't really comment further as it's pretty self explainable. os Nothing that they did not know before. Not to mention that to them - you are a number, nothing more. I would be more concerned about my internet provider/Google than I would be about Windows. What kind of problems have you been having with the search function? For me personally it works way, way better than on Windows 8. Not to mention you're not forced into that horrible startscreen. You can unpin all of the tiles. What you get left with is the Most used/Suggestions and Power/Settings etc. Isn't the lock screen similar to having a password for your user? (no idea, cos I only have a single one) By the way, you can remove the lock screen if you want.
  2. New laptop

    I thought their customer service was quite good? In regards to laptops, I don't think they are overpriced. Expensive, sure, but not overpriced.
  3. New laptop

    I am pretty sure you can install Windows on an Apple device pretty easily. Why do you dislike their products?
  4. New laptop

    Feel free to explain why. Did you miss the part where I got it for 780 euros? It costs around 1000-1100 eur on Amazon. (I could sell it for more than I got it for) Why is it a waste of money? People often bring it up though they can't back it up without: "Oh you can get a better computer for games!" (hint: I am not getting this for gaming) Show me a laptop of the same size, build quality, screen resolution, weight, features, that is considerably cheaper than a MacBook Pro on Amazon ~1100 eur. (and then remember that I got it for 780 euros) Why is that so important to start with? I don't intend to be playing games on my laptop 24/7. Not to mention I don't play any games on my PC, asides from some very little CS:GO and Civ V now and then.
  5. New laptop

    I don't really understand why it's stupid. For example, Transcend Military Drop Tested 1 TB USB 3.0 M3 External Hard Drive ($54.99) weights around 220 grams, that's less than a bottle of water. Not to mention you don't have to keep it connected to the laptop at all times. Can just keep it at home and use it whenever you need to. Exactly. The 256GB SSD model is a lot more expensive than actually getting an external SSD drive. Well, in this case, I have already looked up if it was able to run Civ 5 and CS:GO without much problems. (it's fine according to many others) I don't intend to max out the settings anyways. Also, probably good to note that I won't really be playing a lot of "big title" games that come with high requirements to play. It's not because of the laptop or computer, it's just that I don't particularly like playing them and mostly play Indie games or web-browser games. Hold up, since when? It requires a 20-30GB partition at most and they plan on decreasing that. I am very sure my partition on my PC is far smaller than 60GB. ------------- Anyways, I got the MacBook Pro 13" Retina with 128GB SDD (everything else normal) with a huge discount from a friend (still in the box) for 780 euros. The thing on amazon goes for like 850 pounds, so that's quite a huge discount. (it was his birthday present to me). As far as gaming goes, it's not really great. But apart from that it's a very well built, fancy looking, feature filled laptop. If anything ill sell it for more and buy something else. Thanks for all of your input though guys, really appreciated!
  6. New laptop

    It's not going to be primarily for school. Thing is, I am going abroad for university, so I want to have an all-purpose laptop that would easily last me the next 4 - 5 years. Should have probably made that clear, whops. The chromebook looks nice, though it isn't something that I am looking for.
  7. New laptop

    I am about to finish school and go into university, so I am looking for a comfortable to use laptop. I really like the MacBook Pro 13" 2015, 256gb SSD, though it's a little bit expensive. I am kind of looking for something similar, but a little bit more cheap. Edit: I am looking for an all-purpose laptop that I will take with me abroad when I go to university. I want it to last me the next ~4 ish years and be good enough for anything I'd like to do: lightweight gaming, programming, youtube etc. My budget is: 1200€/1340$/930£ - I can add a hundred Euros or so if it's really worth it. What kind of laptop I want: lightweight (~under 2.3kg preferably) good screen, size around 13" good quality build (I really like the aluminum build of apple laptops) reliable producer lightweight gaming (ill explain what kind of games I play in a separate paragraph) comfortable to use, good touch-pad. I am buying a laptop to last, so something that won't be obsolete in 2-3 years Lightweight gaming: I generally play Civilization 5 and Counter Strike: Global Offensive. I'd love if the laptop would be able to run csgo (on low/medium settings) at at least around 60-80 stable fps. Would be awesome if it's able to run games like Fallout 4 on medium settings or so. Thank you for any recommendations!
  8. Not comparing the specs is your own fault, honestly.
  9. OnePlus products

    Their main market focus is on India and China on the X due to the smaller prices and still pretty good specs. You should just check out the band support on the OnePlus 3 (if you're going for that) before buying it.
  10. OnePlus products

    I would wait for the OnePlus 3 if you want to buy a OnePlus phone.

  12. OnePlus products

    I had an invite too, but I completely missed it. Oh well. If anyone is still interested in this, give me a PM from now on. Basically, phone is still going good. Case pretty worn out, but It held up well for what I put it through. For the price I really have nothing bad to say about the phone. Issues were fixed quickly enough for me not to mind them and there's a pretty big and vocal community that can help you with a lot of stuff. 64gb is more than enough for me. It almost never lags and if it does you can quickly restart it (only had to do it like twice, both times because of a game) It doesn't have some hardware (loook in the specs, don't remember which), but I never use it anyways so I didn't mind. The camera is pretty good. It's better than on most of my friends phones. 7 months later and I'm glad I got this.
  13. Teamspeak

    ts.steamgamers.com also works
  14. @R3TROATTACK @Crazy Swede @sphinxxxy Congrats! Well deserved.
  15. Yes pls Remove surf already, it's a boring map that's completely broken, because most of the time you don't even see the zombies until the four corner stage and the first stage is very easy to hold. The timers should either be increased of the wall that blocks the zombie removed/nerfed. Helms deep is pretty glitchy, pretty much half the time you play it something breaks. Imo it should be removed just because of that or at least removed off of rotation because it's annoying to play with people that don't know what they're doing on it.
  16. OnePlus products

    The phone is going good, no damage to it. I didn't even slightly scratch the tampered glass protector. However the case that I had (transparent simple case bought from their store) slightly broke in one of the corners. So I'd advise buying the flip-cover instead. By the way, right now there is a sale going on. 50% off all the accessories for the oneplus one. Also, if you're going to buy the Oneplus One you currently get 2 free accessories, which is pretty good. I don't think they sell the tampered glass anymore though, not sure why, it's great.
  17. Who cares anymore. I dont really use spotify, but I wouldn't stop using it because of this. Privacy is long gone on the internet.
  18. Economic mouse EU

    I'm looking to buy an economic, but pretty good mouse. It doesn't specifically have to be for gaming, though I'm going to game with it. Im also looking to buy a mouse pad. I'd say my price range would be around 30-50 EUR. Thanks for any help
  19. I don't think he wants to go to jail.
  20. Why the Windows 10 hate?
  21. I want to vote for like half of you. :\
  22. Windows 10?

    Well, I upgraded from Win 7 32bit to Win 10 32 bit, then I did a clean install using a usb and I now have Win 10 64 bit. So far no real issues asides that there's some app that is leaking memory. Definitely worth the upgrade, though it is annoying to redownload everything.
  23. Isn't it possible to contact an AO+ if you think that your friend, that is applying, wouldn't make a good admin?
  24. Windows 10?

    Let me google that for you...
