Kangadrool Supersonic January 22, 2015 Share January 22, 2015 (edited) Windows PC/laptop will lag severely unlike Mac machines which you can still use for > 5 years and it still function beautifully. My co. SOP is max 3 years use; I think senior management get new machine every year. LOL... Even then, 2 years, I can't stand the sh1ts and always hope it will konk off. If u don't game why need to change laptop so fast... Unless it dies on you. Edited January 22, 2015 by Kangadrool ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u take care and don't install funny things on your laptop. Such things won't really happen. Office laptop boh pian cos the IT department guys just install tonnes of useless programmes on it. My laptop is from 2012. Still runs well. It's been donkey years since u need to run stuff like cache cleaner or what not. Those are from windows 95-98 era... The Dual core Intel and AMD systems have been out since mid 2000s. Other than the significant appreciable increase in RAM, there's been no change in daily usable speed of the laptop other than adding a SSD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast1 Supersonic January 22, 2015 Share January 22, 2015 If like that, I rather stay with Windows 8.1 .. Pay one time and use for life, or til computer crash. If you think about it like that, Windows 10 has the advantage. It's free for life, or till computer crash... ...because a Windows computer *will* crash within the year.

Nolicense Turbocharged January 22, 2015 Share January 22, 2015 Android is too fragmented for manufacturers to do sw upgrades. They just need to keep pushing new devices can liao. When I bought my 920, I remembered it was on W8 Amber version, then update to Black, then now Cyan. Waiting for Denim update rolling out. Soon, it will be W10. one phone can update so many times? each update do you see improvement? is it better than android? or iOS? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic January 22, 2015 Share January 22, 2015 (edited) Yes, as long as MS supports it except Windows 7 which MS abandoned and left many supporters with a sour after taste. Most updates do see improvements and more features added, but of course sure have some bugs. Frankly, WP is not for everyone 'cos some diehards will always go for the fruit phone which you can buy and forget it for its simplicity or Androids which you can customize until it is totally unusable, but with plenty of apps. You will hear a lot of complaints about WP lacks apps (especially banking apps) and for available apps, they are not as polished as those iOS or Androids. Yes, even MS own apps are better on iOS and Androids than WP. WP is still not as matured as Androids or iOS, but reckon W10 will bridge the gap closer. Why I use WP? 1. Cheap and plentiful models compared to fruit phone. If it decides to take a dive to the floor, just buy another one. From as cheap as $150 to high end $700 off contract, all work smoothly and without lag, same UI be it Lumia low end to high end or any other brands like Samsung or HTC, etc. So, for those who want to experience WP without committing their hard-earned $$$, a cheap $100+ Lumia will do. 2. Very stable OS (yes, I was v surprised when I first got my for W7 phone, which is very unlike Windows computers). My phone is ON 24/7/365 and hardly need to reboot it. 3. I am not an apps man. So, lack of apps don't really bother me. Will I leave WP? Maybe, why not? I am not a slave to any OS. one phone can update so many times? each update do you see improvement? is it better than android? or iOS?

Neutrino Supercharged January 22, 2015 Share January 22, 2015 Yes, as long as MS supports it except Windows 7 which MS abandoned and left many supporters with a sour after taste.

Kangadrool Supersonic January 22, 2015 Share January 22, 2015 I am referring to Windows Phone 7. Confusing right? This is problem of Windows' branding. I thought Win 7 will be supported with updates etc for at least another 5 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razer blade was the 1st gaming ultrabook to have the Haswell chip. Don't game anymore. Ha... except for ssd failure in the first year (actually, it was 1-2 weeks after warranty expired, but they were nice enough to replace the ssd and give me another 2 week warranty extension to monitor the issue) the laptop has been pretty good. sadly, not much time to game after getting married. i rather sit my ass on the couch and watch my tv shows lol On a separate note, why does everyone still blame Gates when he's had little to do with the company for a few years now? Blame Satya Nadella. actually, he has done a lot better for the company in terms of being open minded. if you want to blame someone, blame balmer.

So he had to buy it lol. Since u said they extended the warranty for your SSD. I think Razer CS is quite good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since u said they extended the warranty for your SSD. I think Razer CS is quite good. i also was impressed by the customer service. the only thing i was unhappy about was when i sent in the laptop it was virtually scratch free, but when the service guy handed to me, there was a long scratch underneath about half an inch long. but he was apologetic about it and said it was an accident, so i didnt want to make his life too difficult. lucky he was a nice fella from the start :P (i told him i wanted to clone the old hdd but it seems that was against razer policy ... but he did it for me anyway ... so i guess, give and take lo ... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
