The 2014 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Thread: Don't get stomped please

Got that Windows 8 10.1 Tablet/Keyboard tablet deal…damnit I missed that Lego Movie deal.

hmm…the target website crashes when I search under the BOGO free section for games for the wii U, I am guessing this applie

WAIT WAIT…YOU BROUGHT A LENOVO? NIGGA NOOOOOOOOOOOO, IT HAS THE WORD NO IN IT

What’s wrong with Lenovo’s?
I haven’t had any issues with the laptop at least…

Let me get this out the way: if you think i’m going to play Crysis, Battlefield, or any of those “can my laptop run this power hungry shit built for desktops” games then you’re wrong. If I want hardcore monster energy drink WoW account cancalled all night twitch live stream little kid raging boner action i would do that on a desktop, lol. Oh and… it CAN run those games at 60fps 1080p. source: reviews, youtube benchmark videos, me knowing what the I’m buying.

i have a few friends with Lenovo laptops and not a singe one has had any issues with theirs. Most importantly, I bought this laptop because it’s perfect for what I do while in front of a computer(and of course the ability to move around). It gets the job with very high efficiency, end of story. I’ve only heard good things about Lenovo Laptops, but feel free to share with us your Lenovo tragedy story. I will read it and laugh at you.

good brands : asus , acer , lenovo
shit brands : dell , HP , compaq

I’ve been trying to find a power bank I could just pick up at the store at a discount but all I can find are ones that need to be shipped over. I want it before I leave for Europe for a bit but that’s becoming quite difficult. I’m so angry.

I wouldn’t recommend them at all, even to someone I would hate, they are more in line for businesses use than personal use. The black friday sales just gets rids of excess bulk.

their parts come from a third party vendor

I would tell you more aki but then you had to be a dick at the end of your post

Didn’t know compaq still existed…haven’t seen any of their shit advertised or anywhere since like 2001.

What’s your opinion on Toshiba? I bought my Toshiba laptop back in '12 and have had 0 problems with it…

Toshiba’s are the king of bloatware.
Personally I went through 4 in 3 years due to hardware failures.

Damn wtf…I guess I’ve had luck with mine then.

If Valaris would stop trying to fuck his Toshiba while watching his Maple Leaf porn maybe his would last just as long as yours, @Kashiyukasthighs‌

Hp bought compaq along time ago and Lenovo bought IBM PC ThinkPad division that’s the reason they’re considered good I guess.

The only laptops I care about were The Sony vaios that no longer exist and couldn’t afford to buy one anyway fuck laptops

Loving my asus laptop. No probs for 2 years.
Got my mom one coming next week.

Anyone else getting borderlands presequel for 30 from Best Buy?

good luck to all my bruvs, may no one and nothing stand in your way.

gonna try and go for that 200$ 50inch tv at best buy. going to wake up tomorrow and head straight there. my family isnt doing nothing for thanksgiving so hopefully when i get there 9pm-11pm i should get a ticket. time to start preying lol

If you’re that bad with laptops then just get a laptop with 4 year accidental at home repair warranty. I had one of mine completely destroyed and they just replaced it same day.

When you buy a laptop, get it with operating system Windows 8.1 DVD. First thing you should do is copy your C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository to USB and any other driver/software folder you may have at root C. Then just reinstall Windows 8.1 clean and then from device manager to update all your drivers from your USB.

If you want all your drivers to automatically install, I recommend after clean install to copy FileRepository from your USB to local C so you have C:\FileRepository and then going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion and for Device Path changing %systemroot%\inf to: %systemroot%\inf;C:\FileRepository

I wasn’t being a dick, i was just being black.

I don’t know what you are doing to your laptops, but I’ve never had any real problems with mines, manly because I never push them beyond their limit. Serious gaming can be achieved on a laptop for an arm and a leg, but it is recommended that you play on a desktop, because laptops get hot as fuck, and over time it’ll cause issues. Since you have an issue with a real gaming laptop I can only assume that you were pushing yours to or beyond it’s limit, or maybe you’re just using word of mouth and don’t even own a Lenovo. Like i said… i know many people (and friends) with older model lenovo laptops that haven’t experience any issues. I will let you know when/if mines decides to kill itself.

Any good smart TVs on sale? I’m looking for one around 40 itches and the ones I’ve seen on sale have shit specs.

I have 40 itches every winter with the dry air.

Lenovo is third party IBM brought them and then outsourced their products through Microsoft

aki i work at Lenovo, its good that yours has not had any issues which is one less technical support call i have to take. How would feel to have purchased a brand new laptop only find someone else’s information in the bios and on the hdd. In short you would be buying an apple that somebody bit off on
