Pretty nice for a laptop. Its not half bad. I suppose its a mac?
Desktop
Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.20GHz
2.19GHz, 1.99 GB RAM
On-board Intel graphics
HDD Space:
1) 150gb - XP3, Red Hat, BackTrack
2) 500gb - Storage
Thats pretty nice. I do recommend you get a graphics card, those accelerated graphics suck. Lol.
True, but right now for my needs it's fine I'll probably get one when it's cheap and when I need it. Mostly use Linux these days.

I would agree with you. But I don't think it ate mine. Sure his processor is faster, but I acquire more RAM than he, so I personally think mines faster. His P4 might be 3.4Ghz, but mines quad-core at 3.0 Ghz, and theres 2 of them, and my RAM is DDR3 at 1000Mhz, while he's stuck at 533. [: And look at my graphics cardS, while he has a graphics card.
Don't get me wrong, his computer is a beast, but he has a little bit more before he gets me.

Wait. Did I forget to mention, take my computer and multiply it by 4 to get the one working computer? It's 4 computers hooked up to one monitor and each of them are combined with each other to work faster to achieve more. I call it. My custom home server!

No. I'm serious I would have a Blackbird but I'm a poor 16 year old and if I save money I can't buy the new WinMo devices that come out xD lol. I'll probably be running a couple blackbirds in college @[email protected]

Yes, i'm a Hardware-Junkie
While your processor is faster, on your workstation than mine, and you have a slight more amount of ram than me, my RAM is ddr3, and I have dual nVidia 9800's, GDDR3. I think mine is still better. But I will but yours in first place. Congratulations.

A lot depends on her budget and what specs she needs. I'd assume that she must have a dedicated GPU, and a decent processor.
MBPs pretty much compete with Dell's XPS line and/or the lower end Alienware line. You can also check out Lenovo and Asus to see if they have the same.
And laptops are very comoditised. Just get a brand you are comfortable with at a price you liked
Also, marry her. Now. There aren't many girls left that prefers Windows over Mac. I mean it.
So most of here are geeks in the good scene of the word. We all have our mobile devices that we love and hack and tweak and mod. 98% of the time, to do what we need to do to our mobile devices, we rely on our PC. I'd be willing to bet that allot of you also have a strong attachment to your PC hardware as much as your mobile. Weather its for development, gaming, testing, surfing, working, pr0n? Use this thread to post specs and/or pics and show off all the hardware that sits between you and your modded mobile device.
Main PC (no image cause my desk is a wreak) but enjoy my desktop =]
AMD Athlon II X4 620 Propus 2.6GHz CPU
GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 Mobo
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
eVGA Nvidia GTX 260 896MB
3x 250GB SATA 3.0
1x 1TB SATA 3.0
LG DVD +/-RW DL
Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
40" 1080P (1920x1080) HDTV (use for tv and as display)
I use this for everything. Dev, Gaming, School, Work. You'll find visual studio and Borland Delphi 7 along with the likes of MW3 and BF3. I also burn many a DVD and do most of my phone tasks here.
Mobile PCs
See attachment
Top Left, Clockwise -=> Dell Precision M6300, Dell Precision M90, Toshiba A215, HP TouchPad, Acer 5670
All configured similarly, less the Touchpad. Minor variance in CPU from 1.86GHz Core Duo to 2.4GHz C2D. All 4GB DDR2, All Win7 Ultimate (M6300 64Bit). I actually use the Acer the most as its Power/Weight ratio is awesome. It will do post modern 3d gaming with its 256MB Ati x1600 dedicated GPU. But I mostly work in Visual Studio on this. It is nice to be able to take a break and pwn some no0bs in the face and have great framerates . I love my Toshiba as a communications laptop. Its integrated web cam is top notch. And my Dell Precision's, well they are just 17" powerhouses. Mostly used for Mobile Gaming or movie viewing on their awesome large 17 inch displays (1440x900 native).
I did a search and didn't find any like posts. If I just missed it, feel free to merge this with it. If not, I look forward to see what everyone else uses when their not on their phone!
I got an Asus K53SV-SX838V notebook which has some nice specifications. In fact I use my notebook more then my phone.
I do use my notebook for playing COD MW3 and movies and tv series and sometime I like to try other operating systems like Linux, but will do that most time in vmware or live usb.
It's specifications are:
CPU: Intel Core I7 - 2679QM, 2.2Ghz with turbo boost till 3.1Ghz
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 540 + Intel HD 3000
RAM: 8GB
SSD: 128GB Crucial M4
Further it has an 1366x768 resolution and its 15.6 inch. Also it has one USB 3.0 port and an multitouch touchpad and HDMI and a VGA port and an standard webcam.
I'm very happy with it and it was an good deal, I bought it for € 587 excluding the SSD ofcourse at end of january , it came with an 640GB harddrive which is now my external harddrive.
I have a stock Toshiba Satellite for a laptop but my gaming rig is as follows
AMD Phenom II 1090T 6 Core
16GB Corsair Dominator GT
Crossfired 6970's
1.5 TB SATA HDD
128 GB Crucial M4 SSD
7.1 Audio
Nothing real special but it works for me.
Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl Edition
8GB ram
few terabytes of hardrives
2X 8600 GTi in SLi
C2D 2.6 (I think)
Some dust in the case
On a 23" Acer
Runs Skyrim without the slightest lag on all highest settings
Also MAcbook for everyday work, also connected to the 23" and it's closed all the time with an external KB and mouse. lol.

How is the buldozer? not just for gaming but other any other cpu intensive work? Im looking at getting the AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb 3.7GHz on newegg right now for 149.99 (it really is in my shopping cart lol), I'll hold off a few though as ive never actually been able to chat at someone who owns one. This quad i think is at an awesome price/performance ratio though.
My big main PC is the first one that I put together myself:
Intel i5-2500k (stock)
16GB G.Skill DDR3
2 overclocked XFX AMD 6970s
125GB Corsair SSD boot drive
1TB Samsung data/application drive
3.1 Sony soundbar home theater system
47" LG LCD TV.
I've still got my HP school laptop as a backup, but I haven't touched it in a looong time.
My computer sucks :-/ here I go:
AMD Sempron 140 @ 3.65GHz
AMD ECS 890GXM-A 1.0
SuperTalent 2GB (1 x 1 GB) DDR3 1600MHz
ATI Radeon HD 4850 1GB GDDR3
1x 300GB SATA
Windows 8
My PC is getting kinda dated but still does everything I need so no point fully upgrading yet
Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Mobo
AMD X2 6000+
4 x 2GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400
EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti FPB 1GB GDDR5
around 9TB of HDD space 1.5 installed rest hot swapped
22" Samsung 2253BW and 23" Acer X233H
I gave up on desktop, I replaced it with a Lenovo Y470p laptop. Its the first laptop I've purchased even though I built plenty of desktop in past. Never wanted get a one until they are small enough with a decent gpu and price.
This one isn't high end either, but with the AMD HD7690 which is 10% slower than a desktop HD5750/6750, its good enough to handle Skyrim in high settings. And since I only play mostly HalfLife2 mods, that's good enough for me. The laptop screen is abysmal, but I wasn't going to shell out an extra $500 to get an HP Envy 15 with the same hardware spec and any screen larger than 14".
Although I'm using it stationary as a desktop replacement connected to my 32" LCD. The main problem I'm having in term of gaming is the HDMI output signal lags by 30-40ms compared to the main screen. Add that to the 80ms in game lag (due to crappy ATT DSL) and the input lag of LCD itself, and the result is getting owned by wallhackers.
I will never get used to the keyboard and touchpad on the laptop so I'm still using my Logitech G5. I'm down on my last G5 since the other one goes choppy, I think I need to stock up more from ebay, I can't get used to any of Logitech new mice since they seem lower quality. I certainly won't be using any wireless mice or ones with glowing LED lights.
The only mod I did is to turn off the turbo boost for the Core i7 so the temperature doesn't shoot up to 90*C.
I'll go ahead and say this so it's clear. I'm not using a pirated copy of OS X. I have a Mac Mini that crapped out on me, and I don't really feel like spending money to fix it or buy another one, so I found a way to not let my authentic OS X Lion and license that I paid for go to waste.
So like the title says, if you've built one of these amazing machines, what hardware did you use? There is a good bit of hardware that works perfectly, and there is a lot that doesn't. Luckily I've found a perfect combination to run OS X flawlessly.
There is no need to go into the method in which you installed the OS. I'm just interested in how creative you guys are for the hardware aspect of it.
These are my specs:
Build name - HOLLOW-X
Case - APEVIA X-Dreamer 4 case with 7x120mm fans and 1x200mm fan (blue LED)
PSU - Rosewill HERCULES-1600 (1600 watt)
MOBO - ASUS P5Q (With modified BIOS for OS X to boot with AHCI configuration)
CPU - 2.66GHz Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 (clocked at 3.1GHz)
(Reads as XEON on OS X)
CPU Cooler - Thermaltake Silent TMG i1
Memory - 16GB G.SKILL DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Graphics card - SAPPHIRE Toxic Radeon HD 5850 2GB GDDR5
Disk Drives:
Pioneer 16x Blu-Ray/DVD Writer
LG Blu-Ray ROM/16x DVD Writer
Hard Drives:
250GB 10,000RPM Western Digital Black Series VelociRaptor (Retail OS X 10.7.2 Lion)
1TB Western Digital Scorpio (Windows 7 Ultimate)
320GB Western Digital Caviar Blue from a WD My Book (Kali LINUX)
500GB 2.5" Western Digital Scorpio Series with ICY DOCK USB enclosure
(Has a railed Caddy system to hot plug the entire enclosure, and other 3.5" SATA drives as well, into the computer case)
A lot of people that hear the specs say stuff like "That is a pretty awesome gaming rig"
What's funny is... I don't play a single game on any of my computers. Lol
Installer written using a MacBook Pro, no pirated distros (except for when I don't have access to a Mac, it's my old man's)
Well, really, it's supposed to be just a gaming rig, but everything accidentally matches up for Hackintosh except for networking
CPU: I7-4770k
Should've gone for the non-K variant, as I don't OC anyway and need VT-d support
GPU: EVGA GTX 780 SC
Very good Mavericks support, Yosemite needs webdrivers, which can be a bit laggy
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-Z87M-D3H
Again, should've gone for the bigger non-M variant, apparently got more free drives and SATA ports are filling up like crazy
Sound: Realtek ALC892
Used Toleda's SSDT injection and AppleHDA patch. Works perfectly (STAY AWAY FROM VOODOOHDA)
RAM: 4x2 Corsair Vengeance and 4x2 Kingston HyperX
Network: Belkin USB-N300
It uses Realtek RTL8192SU (Nope not a typo, SU not CU. Weird, eh? SU is NOT supposed to be a USB adapter, but it somehow is.) Downloaded drivers from Realtek's site, works perfectly. Needs additional Ethernet kext to enable appstore. Not a native AirPort card
Drives... [emoji57]
- A makes-Chameleon-slow WD Green 2TB AF
- Samsung 840 PRO SSD 512GB, cr4pping out, win8.1 and Gentoo

Your hardware seems sufficient enough as it is.
Good graphic card always help.
This hardware will run AS pretty smoothly. In fact, it runs well on Macbook Air 2013 - but builds sometimes take quite a bit of time(up to a minute vs 20 sec on my desktop which is a monster)
You're fine. I run Android Studio on a quad core AMD from 2011 and an NVIDIA GTS 250 with 4GB of RAM.
I want to share one more thing, on Mac OS, run Android Studio with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 for optimized font rendering. You can then configure your project to use Java Development Kit (JDK) 6 or JDK 7.
All the best. :good:
