We get the point Boz, PC's are better than Macs.

Edit: I think the reason there popular is down to consumerism really and their ideal market (people who don't know how to use computers lol). In saying that I like my macbook but I will always be a PC person.

Gaming PC at home, MBP for laptop (never gets used anymore), and work's given me a MBA and an iPad. I ain't even mad. Each have their own points; love my PC because I built it how I want it, but I wouldn't want a PC laptop. Current gen 13" MBA specced out ftw (27" Thunderbolt displays are also extremely nice)

Not to mention OSX sucks large, hairy donkey balls.

currently have a MBP i've had for about 3-4 years, it was the first of the unibody ones. never had an issue with it and it does everything i want it to. i think the missus has gone though 3 pc laptops in the same time lol. work gives me a windows laptop and i don't mind using that, so i'm impartial to both OS's, both have there good points.

i think if i was in the market for a new laptop at the moment i'd look at a windows one, they are just so damn cheap these days. when i got my mac the price gap wasn't as big for similar specced systems, and windows vista was a pain in the ass.

Not trolling, just curious: Why do you think it sucks balls, and how long have you used it for/did you use it for?

I've used it on and off for business usage and for long enough to know whether or not I like it.

I find it to be completely unintuitive. It seems to me that much of OSX exists purely to do it differently to Windows. None of the differences are an improvement on Windows, just different for no reason other than to be different.

No offence but your missus is a hack.

My current laptop is a four year old Asus Extensa 5610 which I bought second hand for $400 about three years ago (it was my retired work lappy) and it's still going strong today. I pulled the heatsink off and gave it a clean and new thermal paste and it improved it even more. I'm going to whack a 120Gb SSD in it on the weekend and I reckon that'll get me through a few more years comfortably.

How your missus went through three PCs in three years is beyond me.

PCs are much cheaper, I find to be far more reliable and hardy and Windows shits on OSX form a usability perspective.

And this isn't opinion, this is hard factually data cause I said it was. Anyone who argues with me is a noob. Go on, I dare you. Argue with me.....noob :D

I know exactly what it is. It's an Apple approved premium reseller.

If idiots didn't pay such disgustingly inflated prices, they wouldn't still be that disgustingly inflated. Seriously, people complain about petrol prices and then pay $330 for an extra 500Gb storage.....not to mention $200 to "upgrade" to 8Gb ram (I assume from 2). So $200 for 6Gb of RAM plus the 15 minutes required to fit it. That's a rort, no matter how you look at it.

And these prices are actually cheaper than genuine Apple prices. ie. to go from 4Gb to 16Gb of 1333Mhz RAM is $720.01 for an iMac from Apple. That's disgusting. You can go from 4Gb to 16Gb in a Centrecom PC for $60 ($65 to $125). And that's for 1600Mhz quality RAM.

Yet still "Apple people" pay those prices.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
