Ugh. The 3DS browser is based off of Opera; it's usable, but I'd rather IE than Opera. Or even Safari, and I think you can agree that Safari is pretty bad...

[penguinofhonor]

ugh why do i alcohol

[blazing glory]

I must be the only person that keeps a limit of 4 tabs.
Or maybe I'm just a nutter who hates tons of tabs?

*Raises hand*

I generally get 12 tabs when I'm looking at updated topics on Bay12 but after that I keep to 4-5 tabs the whole day.

Portable browsers are unilaterally shit. Portable safari is crap, but still better than portable opera, yes -- they're bad enough on an ipad, and I can only imagine that something even less designed for browser use like a 3ds would only be worse. Neither are good, because there are no good portable browsers. The desktop version is much more workable. Which is to say, workable at all.

... portable safari was only not bad by dint of everything else being worse. It was still freaking terrible.

Maybe it's improved since the last time I used it, but... frumple is doubtful. Touchpads are just kinda' horrible for website browsing, to say nothing of the varying software issues the bloody thing had. Using safari was physically painful. It was just everything else hurt more and were marginally more likely to get the ipad thrown against a wall.

[penguinofhonor]

Portable Safari sucks. Portable Chrome is tolerable.

[Fniff]

Portable chrome is okay, but I swear it crashes like nothing else.
I mean literally anything. Tap two places at once? Crash. Scroll up a little too fast? Crash. Anything can get it going.

Looks like this nonsense hasn't infected Waterfox yet, but I imagine it's only a matter of time.

I wish I knew more about that sort of thing, but I get the idea that the computer is good stuff mixed with bad?

[MaximumZero]

Any computer geek worth his/her salt could build that for between half and a third of the cost, and there are going to be serious bottlenecks in performance for the cost.

[smjjames]

Eew, McAfee. Get Webroot or something else instead.

The specs look pretty good, though I got mine (which also happens to be an ASUS laptop) for a whole lot less and I think it may actually be a bit better than those specs, or on par.

Looks like he also tacked on some extra stuff which he could have gotten for less. They always try to sell you the extra stuff.

[smjjames]

And did you apologize later?

[MaximumZero]

What's that, work? I still have to come in, even though I got my shift covered and my car is dead? Well, fuck you, too!
