Sorry about your cat @Albo

Not sure how other Euros are doing but we've had 5 days of over 30C which is unusual. 38C in my garden now (actual about 32C). It's really not enjoyable in brick houses with no AC. First cold beer tastes so good though.

It keeps threatening to thunder but nothing so far. Usually once that comes the hot weather is gone and back to mid 20s.

Same here.

Is Acer a decent brand for laptops?

what are you using it for?

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

what are you using it for?

Browsing Tuz.

Nah, just everyday use - work, browsing, Netlfix.

Just want something that will work properly for a long time.

Aren't they pretty much all the same (Acer, Lenovo, HP, Fujitsu, Sony)? Does Sony even make laptops anymore? My work laptop is HP, I have no complains about it. Before that I had Fujitsu, no complains about it either.

Well they're all priced differently with the same specs

Unless you are doing gaming or something else high intensity it shouldn't matter that much what laptop you buy, especially on the cheap end there won't be much difference between manufacturers.

Don't know about Acer but I recently bought a laptop and I used consumerreports, PCmag and reddit to do research. Got a Lenovo Y740. My previous was a Lenovo Y520 and its still going strong without issue for the last six years without issue

I had problems with previous laptops made by Asus and HP.

I would listen to Kyle.

Thanks.

Funnily enough it's a Lenovo I'm replacing. First the battery went and then the adaptor.

You can easily replace both. Dell have some good XPS models. Check them out.

Had to get the parts aftermarket cuz for some reason original parts were hard to come by. And now the replacements are gone too, or at least that's my guess. It's over 5 years old and I'm fed up of the inconvenience, so time for a replacement.

I'll check them out, thanks.

I got a dell latitude 5500 from work and I really like it. Super fast and sleek. Might be on the expensive side for a regular laptop but it’s reliable and the battery lasts forever.

I’d definitely consider dell in general tho, I think their stuff seems boring but it’s pretty reliable from my experiences with them

Yeah I know, Dells are solid. Just trying to get away with something cheaper

what's your budget? any size requirements?

That depends. To buy or to steal?

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

No budget or size requirements. Lol but I liked the price of the Acer, which is why I asked about that one. As long as it's not a piece of junk it doesn't have to be fancy.

When you steal you gotta go for the top stuff!

 

[pavluska]

Anyone used pomodoro technique? Does it really make you more productive, and is there something better?

Good for what they cost. Asus too.

Productivity is just time slavery for the tourists.

Mr. Shomostein truly appreciates higher productivity!

So my roommate has a new girlfriend and she's fat. He is not fat.

Not sure I agree with this.
