Yeah I told him that but he cba :lol:
At least he doesn't think a lower resolution is better, he just finds it more comfortable for him personally.

Nah, I work with alot of higher end Windows laptops then lower ones. We're talking a £1000 (give or take a few £) ultrabook vs something like a low end macbook pro, which is around £1k as well. They're the two most common laptops I see. followed shortly by Macbook airs. There are many more issues with ultrabooks. I'm talking from my experience as tech support at a Cambridge College.
Sure I get a few crappy (not always crap tbh) cheap windows laptops, but ultrabooks are more common now then they originally were. Especially now they're either making more 'windows' style ones (or their own style, see Dell & lenovo) or gunning after macbook airs.
Samsung has beaten Asus in the "laptops that frequently break for no reason" sector for me. They've pulled out of European sales as well now I think. £900 for something that looks like a macbook air and is made out of plastic with poor battery performance isn't good game.
Yes I've seen those new Dell XPS laptops, god they're good looking
. The theme for laptops at CES this year seems to be good looking actually IMO.

Simply must quote Prof Brian Cox with this.
"The problem with todays world is that everyone believes they have the right to express their opinion and have others listen to it.
The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularily if it is demonstrably nonsense!" - Brian Cox

Brian cox is just the shiznits !
1 thing that annoys me is people in the gym/work who don't put towels down on the bench and sweat all over it, That's 1 thing I miss about German gyms, Even the members keep them clean.

Ah ha sadly true, i could not go to his christmas thingy in london
Ive been getting annoyed with a few bits at work esp a guy who keeps making cups of tea who just disappears off of the shop floor causing us to be at risk from theft and poor floor management... Kinda glad im leaving to gets more money though
Also on the Samsung laptop thingy i have had an r720 for god knows how long now, battery is still like new, the only thing to fail after all this time was the track pad, and the fact it runs vista ... lol cba to change o win 7 ... MY gryp with the laptop is the Ram being soldered onto the MOBO so i cant upgrade it

Idiots, They annoy me.
So apparently according to someone on the Steam forums *I only read I did not get involved* Nvidia cards are best with AMD CPU's and Intel CPU's are exactly the same but more expensive and for idiots.
The worrying thing is this person would not see sense even when provided with tangible proof and the really worrying part is this person was not trolling, I checked his other posts and each one is the same, Definite mental instabilities there.

I think he's just a wack job, Game forums seem to be a haven for them as the steam admins don't do anything about the fruit loops as long as they don't say anything against valve.

Ah yes, a mate of mine posted his new PC on Facebook the other day with an FX6300 and an R7 265 and someone sarcastically posted "You didn't even get SLI 970s? Too bad". Then the guy's brother replies with "If you're going to talk about high end hardware then you should've at least said R9 295x2, half the price and more performance".
Then the guy who posted the picture went "Yeah, that's how AMD works". Uuuggh the ignorance. Had to stop myself from replying that you can in fact get SLI 970s for €700 while the cheapest R9 295x2 costs €850 in the Netherlands and I even looked up some benchies to come to the conclusion that the 970s are faster in most scenarios
And to think I knew the guy back from when we both worked at a retailer, helping customers pick out computers and televisions... He was already obsessed with AMD having octa-core CPUs back then, not even knowing that a chip with half the cores could, in fact, be faster!
Fangirls annoy me. All they do is spam social media sites with pictures of band members cause they think they're hot and that's legitimately the only reason for them to listen to their music. STOP IT. YOU'RE 14, THEY DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM YOU >.>

I was lol'ing on facebook yesterday. Some guy had a 780 and was like should I upgrade to a 980? Somehow 50% of the world decided he should before even asking what resolution he played at 
I said the most performance you could add for the money would be to get another 780 but it's equally pointless if you don't need it. Immediately people were saying a 980 is better than two 780's. Someone had upgraded from a 780 to a 970, which in my book is a downgrade, found that with overclocks the 970 was better. Hilarious and irrelevant stuff.
Hardware recommendations on 90% of the internet, definitely gaming forums, facebook and quite a few tech forums are just retarded. The vital information like what are you going to use it for, what resolution do you play at, what do you intend to do in the future is never exchanged. How do people think they can get a valid recommendation when others know nothing about what they are doing with it. I blame the 970.

I hope someday that to access the internet you need to pass a "Not a troll or total knob jockey" test.
In a perfect world all the trolls would be rounded up and just dropped into an active volcano, I guarantee you the internet would become a more productive environment in an instant and the planet would collectively breathe a sigh of relief.

The whole internet need to go back to where we were back in 2000 but we would still have the same speed we would have now, but there would be no comment system in youtube and could bring back chat rooms, there seem to be less trolls 10 to 15 years ago

Hahaha ^_^
The amount of times I've seen a relatively decent debate or just a bunch of people discussing something they like be it GPU's, Audio stuff etc... and then some kid comes on and says something along the lines of "Lol rofl mine is better because i said so and I read it somewhere so there you're all nooby nooblits", Or someone who just goes onto forums to cause aggro and then makes the other people mad enough to rage against them in turn making the victims out to be bad guys.
Again, Active volcano, Problem sorted ^_^
I think it's because people in general didn't have this untouchable behind the keyboard feeling that they do now, Personally I think trolling needs to have proper consequences, If you go out of your way to cause aggro, You get banned, If you keep doing it in more than 1 place after you've been banned you get a monetary fine and it should lead to legal ramifications.

All modern music.
Bite me
I literally can't stand the auto-tuned whine of some talent-less cretin who's not worked hard for anything in their life and doesn't give a shit about the music they make, only the money they get from it. Ugh.
Sounds like you're describing most public school boys who get into music as it's a good "Jape" just until their trust fund kicks in ^_^
