Guest Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hey everyone, tell me what do you think about pre built computers. Those can be everything from an iMac to some insane 10000$ GameKiller9000. Also feel free to share your opinion on laptops, and anything related. Cheers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_24 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Well, I don't have experience with desktops with games, however this Asus laptop 2.4 processor runs well on ATS ams ets2 ams Cities:Skylines. I also feel like it just all depends on one's budget Trucking in multiplayer and helping others where I can. In game rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aalb75 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I think that pre build computer are a good option for those who dont have the time or patience to build there own computer. And there are many good pre build computers on the marked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdaBey Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 It is unnecessarily expensive, and the parts used are often absurd. As laptops, I recommend laptops of famous brands. For examle: MSI Gaming Laptop.

Rev. Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Always cheaper to build your own but can be tedious if you're not as tech-savvy. There's nothing wrong with prebuilt systems it's just commercially you'll get ripped off by companies trying to make huge gross profit margins. I've always built my own so I get the components for the best possible price. I wouldnt recommend laptops for gaming. I exclusively use mine for on-the-go work or free time browsing. I prefer to have a high-end PC to come home to and play my favourite games rather than suffer on an over priced "gaming" laptop built for mid spec games. For my specs click here.

James Charles Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I built my own computer and to be honest it really isn't that hard. The nice thing about building your own computer is you can completely customise the specification yourself depending on your needs. If your thinking about building one then this is the best website for checking all the parts are compatible: https://pcpartpicker.com/ Hope this helped.

Prime Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Prebuild systems aren't necessarily bad, however if you intend to use them for gaming you will need to spend some time to compare them and check their specs. Personally I prefer to assemble a custom build (chosen by yourself or with the help of your local pc store), this will be better fitted to your needs. In most stores they offer the possibility to build it for you if you don't want to do it yourself. Regards Prime Service & Data Analyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 They're somewhat ok. Some deals can be okay, but majority are overpriced. If people have the budget to get a monster PC which is prebuilt then go ahead. It depends on your budget, but majority of the time building it yourself will be cheaper.

Guest Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 By the way, I want to pick up an Apple Macbook pro 13 inch no touchbar version for work. I do translations and occasional photoshop, do you think it will suit my needs? If not, what would you buy if you were me? 1 minute ago, Prime said: Prebuild systems aren't necessarily bad, however if you intend to use them for gaming you will need to spend some time to compare them and check their specs.

Rev. Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 @Eagl223, for using Photoshop and other basic low-end processes/tasks a MacBook will definitely be fine. If you're prepared to spend the money they are extremely useful in most situations. Steam | TruckersMP Profile | SteamRep | Twitch Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Nice computer build @Rev., but I think 16 gs of ram is not enough for those specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 @Eagl223 I'm unsure where you got that ideology from. It's definitely enough. Then again if you want to pointlessly buy 32GB of DDR4 RAM at a cost of over £300+ for no reason that's your call.

I am really struggling with 16 gigs, personally, and I have specs waaay worse than yours. I didn`t want to say that it`s bad, i wasnt being negative. Just my opinion 3 minutes ago, Rev. said: £300+ for no reason that's your call. Yea, you`re right, but not for no reason.

bobi124 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 They are stable, warranty service is very good, normally they are maded for working long time in offices, banks, etc. Most models are not builted for overclocking and gaming. Minuses - If your motherboard is faulty after 4-5 years of using, chance of buying SAME one second hand is very low. Some PSU's are not standard, with other sockets for ATX power and the their dimensions aren't same with standard PSU's. But even with this disadvantages, this computers are good choice if you want something stable. I use Lenovo ThinkCentre M90 in home, working 24/7, i use it for browsing and gaming of course. I use this computer from 2 years and it's second hand, not new. Uptime going up to 90 days, because we have electricity cuts sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 For basic stuff and using photoshop you're now better off buying a windows system. Mac is nowadays only a better choice if you're using specialized music editing software. Adobe used to build Photoshop with intended use on Mac, but after Apple got into a dispute with multiple of their suppliers Adobe stopped building with Mac in mind and focus on Windows (with only a ported version for Mac which doesn't run as good). As for the part on Apple systems, you'll be cheaper off buying the same parts and putting them in a pc and theyll run even better because of Mac only running on passive cooling and other reasons.

Carsmaniac Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The general rule is it's cheaper (and more rewarding) to build a PC yourself, but thanks to inflated GPU prices, depending on where you are in the world it might actually be cheaper to buy a prebuilt. As for desktops vs laptops - laptops will always be more expensive for the same amount of power, but if you wanna game on the go they're pretty much the only option.

Guest Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I've always prefered self-built computers. But sure it's easier to buy a pre built one. On the other hand, it's also more expensive. I've never been a huge fan of laptops. I used to have one before and it gave a pretty laggy experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
