Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

^ I don't think his definition of 'powerful' means an i7 CPU with dedicated graphics and 4gb's of RAM, more like portability, ease-of-use, battery life, price... Maybe something to suit his basic needs like browsing or multimedia.

I wanna get a small netbook like that badly, that can do basic stuff at a decent speed... For school...

That I7 is a dual core w/HT, it's pretty energy efficient. And once again, it's only 1'' larger than that netbook he posted. 10.1'' screen VS 11.1. It also doesn't have dedicated graphics, it uses the on chip graphics. It probably also has a much better battery, most likely last just as long between charges.

Even just for internet, a slow single core CPU is gonna hold you back. And also with Vista on 7, 1gb of single channel ram really isn't enough that will cause slow down as well. 2gb dual channel is minimum for vista or 7.

Exactly! ;)


I said "powerful" because you can do anything on it.It is small and practical and the price was so damn low.I payed it 1900 kn which is 333 dollars approximately.By POWERFUL I do not mean on playing modern games and having SUPER-ULTRA strong CPU lol.By POWERFUL I mean that you can do on it whatever you want except playing those hard games.I am a computer programmer and as we all know programming does not need so strong hardware lol.As for Windows Vista and Windows 7,it works like charm lol.I don't know why people keep saying that you need so strong computer for Windows Vista and Windows 7 lol.That's bullsh!t lol.No offence to anyone of course ;) Powerful is SOMETHING with what you can do a LOT and earn a LOT of money and have a BIG USE of it.So powerful is NOT the SUPER STRONG CPU,GRAPHICS and so on lol...unless you want your laptop ONLY for gaming which I don't lol because I spend most of my time in the C# programming.Also this laptop is great for any other tasks such as video editing.You do not need strong hardware for video editing.People keep saying that for surfing the internet,watching and editing videos requires a VERY strong hardware.That's not true rofl!You just must know how to install Windows correctly,adjust ALL the options in the BIOS,Windows OS and drivers and you will be surprised how THOSE ADJUSTED options can enhance the functionality of how you call it "weak laptop" lol.





Cheers!

You've apparently never owned a ''powerful'' PC to say an Intel atom CPU is strong in ANY context no matter what the OS/settings.
 
Currently using my mom's boyfriend's TV as a monitor :D love it

LoL I do have a very strong desktop computer.I am just saying that not everything is about RAM and those kinds of things.Take this for example...There was one guy about 2 months ago and he said that his photo and video editing program on Windows Vista lags.That it takes too long to open an image and edit the video.And watch this...he said that he has 1 GB of RAM and said that he will upgrade to 8 GB of RAM in order to fix the problem.
When I read that,I was like: "Omfg xD.1 GB of RAM is more then enough for that".I tryed that same program day after and it worked like charm.Also I should mention that almost everyone told him: "Yes Vista needs a lot more then 1 GB of RAM so yea...upgrading to 8 GB of RAM will fix your problem."

So now you see that not EVERYTHING needs so much RAM and other strong PC components like the graphic card,processor and so on lol.It was "his" fault,not the hardware's.Here is the thing...if a programmer is making the computer program and the programming code he wrote sucks and doesn't have any optimizations and it is so screwed up and it is not removing any uneccessary things from the memory,of course that the program will work like crap unless you have a lot of RAM like 4 or more.But if you have 1 or less,the crappy program with the crappy code will eat a lot of that 1 GB RAM and it is completely logical that the computer will lag lol.And here is where people say: "1 GB sucks especially on Windows Vista and 7." The truth is: "No 1 GB does NOT suck at all no matter which Windows editon you use.The reason why your OS works so slow can be for the following reasons caused by YOU:

-you do not have any antivirus protection and viruses filled your OS completely...
-you have been installing,modifying and uninstalling programs like crazy without completely removing them...
-you have messed up your registry...
-you have opened dozens of programs and other windows and do not close down the ones you do not need...
-your PC hardware is getting too hot...
-you have adjusted the options in BIOS,OS and drivers and other programs wrong...
-you are running too many programs at once on purpose...
-you or somebody else have made a computer program or programs,but the programming code you wrote is bad,messed up and does not contain any garbage collectors,optimizations and other peace of code that removes ALL unneccessary things from the memory when it should and so on..."

Take me for example...I tryed all Windows editions on my weak 20 years old computers and they all work great.Even on my new Asus Eee PC 1001PX.So you see...not EVERYTHING is about the strong hardware.I mean...if Microsoft would be making Windows operating systems which require so strong hardware,they wouldn't sell them so much lol.Their purpose is to make an OS that works better and better and the reason is again...THE PROGRAMMING CODE WRITTEN BEHIND ALL THE BEAUTIFUL BUTTONS YOU ARE CLICKING WITH YOUR MOUSE lol.Windows 7 works even faster then Windows XP.And you know why?Not because I put Windows 7 on the stronger PC.I put them both on the same.It is because the programming code in Windows 7 is a lot more enhanced,it contains a lot more bug fixes,it contains MANY optimizations on the right places,it contains the better garbage collector,they wrote the code to remove all unneccessary things from the memory as soon as the user closes it down on the right places and so on..........

So my point is this.If the simple image program,video program or OS lags to you then it is YOUR fault,not the hardware's.Unless if your hardware is 30 years old or it is damaged and super dirty full of dust especially in the fans section.

GAMING is a different thing and if the game is modern,new and has a strong graphics,then yes.Here you MUST have a strong graphic card and the processor,but not so much RAM like 8 GB of RAM lol.
 
I used to have 1 GB of ram on Windows Vista, it wasn't horrible but when I upgraded to 2 it seemed more responsive. No way I could ever go back to 1 GB on Vista/7, nevar.

this reminds me of the antec lanboy air case where it supends the harddrives in mid air. which i have by the way.gotta get some pics up when its done
 
@Stars - Good post, but it sounds like you're trying to convey that software will run on most anything? Simply not true, otherwise i'd still be rocking an old 286 ibm. Software requires fast and capable enough hardware to drive it. Memory is only part of the reason why said photo program opens slowly, you also need good hd or ssd, gpu, and cpu.

True.But the reason why I mentioned that example of that guy that happened before 2 months is because he had a very strong hardware and it was brand new lol.And when I read that he will solve the problem by upgrading 1 GB to 8 just to make simple photo program to work better,I was like: "ROFLMAO!!!" The thing is I tryed that same program on my 20 years old 512 MB computer and other 3 months old 1 GB laptop and on both it worked perfectly lol.Of course that there ARE programs which need strong and modern hardware that's true lol.I just wanted to say that if so simple programs lag or OS then its not always about the weak hardware ;) Sometimes it's the user's fault ;)
