How many LAPTOPS do you own?

Just out of curiosity how many laptops/notebook PC's do you own? Tablets don't count, unless they're convertible to a laptop. If you're a parent that bought one for your kids, or spouse, count them too.

 

I own one laptop.

 

Currently I have 2 notebooks, 2007 Lenovo ThinkPad T61 and a 2011 Lenovo ThinkPad T420. If I count the notebooks I bought for my family that they're still using it's:

2011 Dell Precision M6600 - Younger Sister
2011 Dell Vostro 3750 - Dad
2007 HP 530 - Older Sister (Going to be replaced soon I think)
2007 Lenovo ThinkPad R61 - Uncle
2008 Lenovo ThinkPad R400 - Uncle
2010 Lenovo ThinkPad X201 Tablet PC - Uncle

 

There is a poll option, you just responded before I finished filling it out!

I have:

Sager NP9150 - general use and gaming
Sager NP6110 - portable use and gaming
Hannspree netbook - kid netbook
Hannspree netbook - kid netbook
Asus Eee 1215n - was broke now fixed, general trash netbook for when kids break theirs!

I have an addiction. I like to benchmark and dissect.

 

and if I'm the kid that bought mama and daddy laptops then do those count as well ?

 

Sold a few but currently D901C and D900F

 

Own a bunch, but lots are ancient or for testing. Only using three regularly, so I marked three.

T430 - stationary workstation w/h external monitors
x220t - work computer/drawing
MBA 11 - everything else

 

I have a lot of kids. I have my Sager, Asus G73, HP TX 2510, Dell E blah blah something, 2 old HP Dv something's and an old Compaq still running... and then the tabbys.... Asus EP121, several iPads. 5 phones that blow away the HP DV lappys which my nieces and nephews use. And then 2 more Asus lappys at work. And only at work do I have any desktops, because my employees need them are 8 DT computers.

 

ThinkPads: A31p, T60, Z61m (Ti lid), X220T

FrankenPads: T43FS, T43pFSL, R60F, T601FL plus about half a dozen units in various build stages...

Non-Pads: Panasonic CF-W7

FrankenPad codes:

F = FrankenPad

S = SATA-modded

L = LED-lit AFFS modded

T601 = T61 board in a T60 chassis

 

3 myself, all in sig, i excluded my dead Toshiba because, well, it died.

 

I own five at the moment...

 

I personally own 3:

Thinkpad T500 - my main computer; essentially serves as a desktop computer
Thinkpad X120e - portable on-the-go secondary computer
Averatec 2155 - single-core Turion 64 computer running Xubuntu; serves as a torrent box

 

At the moment I have eight. Ha ha.....I have 5 that are regularly used.

MSI GE60 and Dellienware M11x R1.

There's some old ones lying around my folks' house, but they're no longer mine anymore.

 

3.

All of them are waiting to be sold, heh.

old hp dv3604tx, used as a media player/hdmi/file downloader.

sager np8170 for gaming and if I need to travel for more than 2 weeks.

lenovo x230 for work and short trips. (yeah, not a fan of lugging around my sager and it's power brick to airports on 2-3 day trips lol)

I only own one, my E425, as I don't have the funds to buy anything else. For most of what I do, its enough but I'm so tempted by all the new and shiny laptops that keep coming out with all the bells and whistles I wish I had. I guess I'll have to just settle for a $38.88 Windows 8 Pro Upgrade to get the most out of what I already have.

 

ok way more than 6, I will break into categories

5 Macbook Air/Pro
6 graphics workstations
2 Toughbooks
4 Misc

 

I voted two; realistically I own one but use two, one personal and one work laptop. I hate my work laptop but use it probably more than my personal.

 

I forgot that you didn't pay your moderator taxes, gotta send one of those workstations my way and one Charles' way.

On a more serious note, that's some serious "firepower" you're packing.

 

I voted 2, one in use, one backup. It will always be that way.

 

you have an m6700, Charles has an 8740w but I may have to add the husbands and kids laptops to the list. How about I update the sig tonight or tomorrow.

as for my serious firepower that's my render station that belongs on DTR, finally dropped the cash to upgrade to 512GB of RAM.
that unit however is OT

 

And making me jealous.

Also, people tell me i got too much tech There is no such thing as too much tech, only not enough.

Yeah, your 8770w doesn't show up in your sig and neither does the rMBP.

 

XPS M1530
W860CU
MSi 1762

Considering gettng a W110ER once Haswell releases.

 

After doing a count, apparently, I own more than expected.

• 2007 Dell Inspiron E1405 (XP) - for stuff that won't play nice with Vista and newer
• 2009 Acer AOA150 netbook (XP) - my netbook
• 2009 Acer AOA150 netbook (XP) - brother's netbook (I'm the tech buyer in the family)
• 2009 Asus UL30A-X5 (7 x86-64) - primary laptop, replaced an older Toshiba satellite Vista laptop which I gave to my cousin
• 2009 Fujitsu Lifebook P1620 (Vista x86) - convertible tablet
• 2012 Asus U36SG-AS71 (7 x64) - was supposed to be the UL30A replacement until I realized I'd have to take it apart to replace the HDD with SSD. Need to figure out what to do with it since it's out of the return period.
• 2012 Asus U31SG-DS31 (7 x64) - UL30A replacement
• 2012 Asus U31SG-DS31 (7 x64) - brother's Acer AOA150 replacement

The U31SG's are still in their boxes. Haven't had the time or inclination to set them up yet. Didn't realize I had that many laptops. We'll probably be giving away the netbooks and the UL30A to family once the new laptops have been properly set-up, though.

 

own 1 and maintain all in sig. What a nightmare....

 

somewhere around 15

 

One of the over 6 but only 4 in use. Others are relegated to the closet for the moment but one day will find a use.................

 

Own two, but one is my dead Toshiba. Maintain cousin's laptops and I assume I'll do the same when my siblings get one of their own. Also had my hands on several review laptops for usually a week or two at a time.

 

Currently just two; HP Pavilion G4-1117dx (until november 10th), Dell Vostro 3555 (until Samsung Ultrathin). And than finally I will own only one laptop...

 

Own 2 notebooks, Acer 5551 but the hinge broken, using it as download server.
Another one is Dell SXPS 1640, currently my main notebook.

 

Too many (six). Need to get around to posting some for sale here while they're still worth something. I only semi-regularly use one of them.

 

Three: the ProBook in my signature, an Aspire One (11.6" screen, AMD C-60, 8GB RAM, 80GB Intel 320 SSD), and my wife's retired, 1st gen Intel Macbook.

 

Ah, collecting like old cell phones huh? I shutter to a ask how many of those you have tucked away in a drawer.

Only the one for me, but never more than two at a time. I finally got rid of my old Dell Inspiron since it could do anything other than search the web. The account still needs a bit more boosting before I can update to my next unit.

 

I have one laptop. 2007 Dell Inspiron. Despite being 5 years old, I don't feel like I need to rush out and buy a new one. It still works as good as it did new (better, actually, since it doesn't have Vista anymore). I have a late-2011 desktop for anything requiring more power, but when I am using the laptop for whatever reason, it's usually snappy enough.

I'm hopefully it'll last another 5 years, and since its GPU hasn't failed, I think it has a decent chance at it (knock on wood). While it may well come to be that I do end up buying another laptop at some point... it'd be nice to do so only when I decide to and not because it conks out and I'm traveling. Though, at some point I might upgrade it to Windows Nine or whatever the latest is at that time. XP works great for now, and was a big upgrade from Vista, but in a year or two it might be a bit long in the tooth.

Also, though somewhat interesting, the poll might provide more insight with more detail, such as how old they are/how long they've been collecting. There's a difference between having 6 laptops and getting the first one three years ago, and having 6 laptops and they date back to when the Soviet Union still existed. Given my slowly-growing collection of two out-of-date and less-than-fully-operational cell phones, I might have 6 laptops in 20 years myself.

512 GB??? That's a ridiculous amount of RAM. I remember having 512 MB not that long ago. Even Weird Al Yankovic doesn't have that much RAM.

Also, is there actual activity on DTR? I never joined because at first I didn't have a desktop, and also, it looked like no one was there after the first few weeks.

 

Knowing what KCETech1 does, it's not surprising, heck, while i don't need 512GB, i can think of a few cases where it could come in handy, think of it as having your own personal cluster (her rig likely has four 8 or 16 core CPUs too).

 

Tried getting help on there once or twice. I got maybe one or two answers each for the two threads I created there, but only after several days later. Makes me glad that NBR finally has a desktop section in Off-Topic.

 

Currently 2:

A 2011 Dell XPS15R2...my main notebook, used for everything but traveling for my research
A 2010 Acer 1810T, bought it for my phd, as I needed something small for the travels, but powerful enough to compile smaller c++ apps. It is the ultimate notebook for the road...7h battery life and integrated 3G and its small enough to use it in economy on narrowbody aircraft.
The really annoying thing is that they don't build them this way, you can get much more power, but there is no 11" with more than 5h battery life...because a 5600mAh battery won't fit in a 11" chassis under 25-27mm, so you only get a 3500mAh battery....

 

Currently 3: In my sig.

3 desktops, three laptops, two tablets and the Kindle.

 

Currently 3:
1. Brand new Dell Vostro 3460. Currently my main computer
2. Older Dell Vostro 2510. Soon to be sold or used as a linux box
3. Unibody Macbook 13 5,1. A hand-me-down that I will get handed down again.

 

I have three, but I'm going to sell two.

HP Envy 14t

Asus Zenbook UX32VD

Dell XPS 15 L521x

I also have an Asus Transformer Infinity TF700 with a keyboard dock.

I'm probably going to keep the Zenbook.

I have 4 computers, 2 laptops, 2 WCG crunching farms

HP 2560p elitebook, and sager 8150 which will be upgrade to 7970m pretty soon.

World Community Grid (WCG) crunching farms x2

SuperMicro H8QGl-IF+ quad socket G34
4x Opteron 6180 2.5Ghz
4x CM Hyper 212+
4x Crucial DDR3-1600 4GB kit
1x 850 Watt PSU
1x-insane monthly power bill

 

heavy 4k video editing, effects and rendering its extremly RAM hungry.
and no DTR seems to be fairly dead for now, but it seems to be on a bit of an upswing, my husband checks in now and then

quad 16 core Opteron 6276's ( 64 cores ) this unit replaces a cluster of 6 Mac Pro's

 

I've made an account DTR too and posted a thread on there like days ago and havent recieved a reply yet. And i cant seem to reply to other people.. Here you got several reply's after just half a day

 

1st Sony $2500 laptop in 1999 - broke just after the 1 year warranty was over.

2nd laptop - Feb 2006 - Dell E1705 with 7800 Go and 1920 x 1200 screen, was my main computer until I built a desktop in Dec 2008. Since laptop video cards cannot match the power of desktop video cards, I now only game on powerful desktops.

3rd laptop - backup Dell E1705 with a 7900 go video card and 1920 x 1200 screen. Bought from ebay for around $360

I don't use laptops much nowadays... Only for browsing the web and emails while traveling or on vacation and for car GPS with MS Streets & Trips 2011. So I can wait 2 years more to buy a new powerful laptop, but Haswell and a Geforce 7xx series would be very tempting. My 7 year old laptops fullfill my needs, plus they don't make 1920 x 1200 laptops screens anymore!
