What Computer Would You Rather Have..

[quakeworld]

A) A low end computer with internet connection

OR

B) A beast of a rig without internet connection

I'd go with B.

p.s. sorry if there's no poll as I don't know how to set it up

 

[dighn]

A) no doubt but silly question is silly

Seriously. The two-character limit is annoying.

 

[shortylickens]

I have both.

BUT, if I had to pick, I'd go with internet.
Right now I am typing on a netbook with wifi. These days, overall, connectability is more useful and practical than sheer, raw processing power. Crap PC's are more then fast enough to deal with basic tasks.

Ah you got it! I was afraid I was being too cryptic.

nice poll

 

[Kalmah]

A is my final answer

 

[Modelworks]

B
No matter how much I may want it to work, an emachine could not do the work of my workstation.

How low end? Windows 95 with 56k?

 

[TruePaige]

A...

You could add internet to the beast for far less than it would take to make the low-end one a beast.

Ha!

That's like asking a guy if had to choose between nuts and pole. :biggrin:

Our pole is not much good without nuts to support it.

Well if it gets stripped the nuts can fall off! :hmm:

I don't think that's in the spirit of the pole... it's meant for you to choose. e..g you could also get Internet at workplace/school/phone. is that allowed? I assumed no.

but again this poll is silly. there's no need to choose.

B) you can always haul your rig somewhere with wireless.

 

[Zedtom]

When you look around AnandTech and these forums the big thing is more power, more speed, more screen real estate, more, more, more.

But when it comes to no internet access...oh my God! I'll take something/anything...as long as I'm hooked into the grid.

 

[n7]

C)

Both of the above.

 

[thescreensavers]

A. Toyota Camery with all the highways and roads to drive on

B. "insert supercar" no roads to drive on.
