I know computers are meant to be multipurpose. What amazes me is that several professional hardly optimize their laptops, but the bulk of guys who are neither professionals nor fully educated, do carry expensive laptops all over the place, mostly just to browse. Please i'm curious to know why these guys spend so much on laptops, what for? I use mine for my vocation primarily and then, , What do you use yours for

Have u ever heard of the word "Privacy"? it simply means it not ur biz. Why dont u just make ur own research and stop being jealous abt wht others have.

the usual-

work- i'm an engineer, so i do CAD and engineering design on my laptop with numerous applications, i use MS office etal
music - i have some 50gb ( and still counting) of music
literature - i have some 15gb of ebooks - comics, manuals, motivational materials, magazines
gaming - right now i'm playing old school duke nukem 3d(high res pack) , and i got crysis and bioshock in storage

as to peeps using expensive laptops to browse - thats the nigerian way. for most of us a laptop is a status symbol. sometimes when in a cybercafe, i see peeps flossing with what are essentially low spec laptops, disturbin the peace with their low bitrate tiny music collection.

@oyb

You dey play Crysis on your laptop? wetin you get? Alienware m15x. Haba guy except you find a game playable at 8fps or less,

dell precision m90 2ghz core 2 duo , 2gb ram, 4mb l2 cache, 256 mb nvidia quadro fx mobile( actually - thats a workstation card, not a gaming card - but you can game with it) 160gb hdd (5400rpm)

@oyb

@oyb
Dts what I call optimisation, keep it up men. using it 4 what it is meant to be used for, Guys like Martins00 need to get matured and take a que from what is a responsible use of equipment like d laptop.
@ Martins00
Remeber or note, in case uve never heard of it everything you possess can either be an asset or a liability. No one is interested in your privacy. Live a life, or get one.

I do almost 90% of my studying on it. . . .so convenient. . . .no more paper,books and sh!tzos

@ topic

mine is primarily recreational - music, video, games, leisure browsing, some occasional work. . .but most of that is done at work. my lappie is PRIVATE for my use. Used it when I was searching for a car and all that, but primarily its an entertainment center for me.

Mostly for work initially, now i use it primarily for entertainment.
Intend to buy a new one devoted just to music, games, photos and my ipod.
