Yeah, I've had a Google cardboard for a while. Fun little toy, but the novelty wears off after about an hour. Just as soon as you've tried YouTube VR, a few of the play store demos, and you start feeling ill. I have to admit, watching the Song for Someone thing in it is just about the most boring VR experience I've ever had.

It's Song For Someone, what did you expect.

^ I love finding random Bash For Someone here and there

My new laptop (ASUS R510JF-DM024) just arrived. Wow this is some real speed, 18-22 seconds from turned off to being fully logged into my home job's software. I was planning to add 4 more GBs of RAM but it's not needed for the moment, every task I've done so far is incredibly fast -including DVD rendering and heavy audio converting- so I could as well save that RAM money - or use it for my older laptop, which could use an update. Very happy with the purchase!

Wanting a touch screen Chromebook now that Android apps are on their way. Hmm

Have ordered an Intel Compute Stick for my second monitor. Chrome OS struggles with Torrents and some local media playback. Got it on eBay for £40 so won't be til gutted if it's crap. I have high hopes though as my needs will be basic.

The man cave will be complete soon.

It's curved, and you can post a picture of this shit on reddit.

I'm nowadays running a Toshiba Chromebook 2, but I'm pretty much doing all my computing in Linux using Crouton.

That was my most recent Chromebook. Lovely thing. Didn't like the trackpad and it was a little slow though. More than happy with my Chromebox but will definitely buy an updated Flip should one be announced.

It may not be the perfect computer, but it works. I pretty much had to get a new one after the screen on my old HP Chromebook 14 started giving up. 2500 SEK (ca 270 eur) and I'm taking notes on lectures without having to adjust the screen angle to try to get it to stop shorting out. My laptop is pretty much the center of my studies, and those takes enough time without battling my computer. The 1080p screen is pretty fantastic considering the price of it.
