I just paid $5k for a brand new state of the art bleeding edge laptop.

who spends 5k on a fucking laptop?!

OP: you know the old saying: "A fool and his money are soon parted."

I spent $4 000 on a new laptop a few months ago but I use it for gaming.

What’d you get, OP? A Razor?

Commodore 64. It's a classic.

Bleeding edge, OP?

Are you sure you didn't mean to say "leading" edge?

Because yours sounds kind of bloody to me.

I just spent a ton of money on a new iPad. Next time, I will scale it down. I didn't need as much as I bought, including the keyboard. Oh, well. I tend to keep my devices for several years.

Savor

Every

Word

So the fuck what? Somewhere inside you, you decided this was a great thing to buy, so enjoy the fuck out of it!

What's "bleeding edge laptop", precious? What's bleeding edge laptop"?

Have y’all honestly not heard the term bleeding edge

When you use the term "y'all" in your posts, you really out yourself, Teacake.

I just spent a $120K on this stupid piece of shit... I win, talk about "bleeding edge", every time I get close to it I lose a finger 😬

You can't get true bleeding edge for 5k. A top-of-the-line MacBook Pro, maxed out with an 8TB drive and all the trimmings is $7,400.00.

^^Good Lord.

Oh, but at that price you get Chat GPT, neural processors, Copilot AI, and Apple Intelligence that intelligently let you know you haven’t upgraded your tech skills in 25 years.

lol i can get most of that for free or decidedly cheaper.

You sound like just the type of person who'll fit right in around here, OP.

I have felt this vague urge to learn coding for the last 20 years - which hasn’t happened. The urge appears whenever Apple or Asus comes out with a new widget for their products.

Oddly enough, I view coding as a language. I don’t learn foreign languages because my regional accent makes them sound very bad. I’m wondering if my slack-jawed computing tastes would contaminate my coding skills.

They are called programming languages for a reason.

I loved my Commodore 64

I’d be the asshole that creates a stupider version of Captcha. Creation wants to keep me stupid.

Haven't had bleeding edge since I was 48yo.

Yeah, I think you could easily pay a lot more than $5,000 for a Mac laptop with all of the upgrades.

R18 bless your heart!

I built a top-of-the-line gaming PC for around $3,500 after tax. All I do is listen to Apple Music and use Datalounge on it. And oh yeah, it makes my room hotter than a stiff cock. So this summer I’ve just been relying on my trusty M1 MacBook Air and my iPhone most days.

I sometimes think about selling my PC and going back to my old one because man oh man, I love nice guitars.

I love The Commodores

$5000 is a lot so I hope the edge of your laptop does bleed. It should for that price, LOL. 😧🤯

[quote] LOL

LoL! :)

You may be surprised to learn that many Southerners regardless of race use "y'all."

r31 Americans and chronically online Gen Z and Alpha use "y'all" so much it's lost its charm.

R32, you do have a point but I'm going to keep saying it.

R10, I’m a 54 year old from the northeast who, until your post, had never heard the term bleeding edge and who also, occasionally, uses the term y’all.

"You-uns" Take that, Pennsylvania 🤨

"Yous guys" Take that, Chicago 😠

[quote] Alpha use "y'all" so much it's lost its charm.

It had charm?

Wow, for that kinda money it should lick your boots.

I spent nothing on sand and a stick.

^ Bitch, you keep eating the sticks

What are your laptop's specs, OP?
