What computer are you using right now?

[portalhavoc]

The computer that I'm using right now is actually my mom's computer.
(Since I'm too lazy to go upstairs to use my gaming PC)
It has:
A Gigabyte server motherboard. (It was once a server.) ;-)
XFX GeForce GTS 250
Seagate 1TB SATA Hard Drive
AMD Phenom II X3 720 Processor @ 2.80 GHz
8.00 GB of RAM
Samsung SyncMaster 2433BW Monitor made in November 2008
Microsoft wireless keyboard
Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse v2.0
A set of Logitech speakers
and a Sentey case that makes it look like HAL-9000. :P :mad:
For the operating system it has Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. (It should have 64-bit.) :(

I'm using a computer I put together in 2008. It is currently running Ubuntu 14.04. It has:

An AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 940 Processor × 4
GeForce 8800 GT Graphhics Card
2 GB of RAM
Foxconn A7GMs motherboard
250 GB Hard Drive
DVD Drive
850W Toughpower Power Supply

It also has Windows Vista installed, but I don't find the need to use that at all now.

I put it together with the inten that It would be the last PC I would need for a while. So far it has lasted 6 years and is still going strong. Haven't had to replace anything yet (knock on wood!!)

I am currently using a rather aging desktop tower pending the purchase of a new computer since my laptop is broken and has been sold for parts. Here are the specs:

Intel Pentium 4, 2.80 GhZ
Asus motherboard P5 range
1GB RAM DDR2
80 GB Seagate Barracuda SATA Hardrive
NVidia Geforce 8400 GPU

Lubuntu gave him a new breath or it might not have came out of retirement.. It can meet pretty much all the basic computing needs one requires, that is web browsing, word processing, music, video/movies ect.

A late 2010 model iMac with Ubuntu 14.04 on it.

[Mike_Walsh]

2002 Dell Inspiron laptop, running Puppy Linux 'TahrPup' 6.0

CPU: Intel 'NetBurst' generation Pentium 4, running @ 2.6 GHz (PAE, but only SSE2s)
Motherboard: Dell proprietary
RAM; 1 GB DDR1 (originally 128 MB)
HDD; Hitachi 'Travelstar' 40 GB (originally 20 GB)
Graphics; Intel 'Extreme' graphics card; 82845 G/GL/GE/PE/PV 'Brookdale' core, w/256 MB dedicated RAM

This originally ran the first Win XP 'Home' edition. I've tried it with Ubuntu, Xubuntu, & Lubuntu. In every case, the display has ended up @ 640x480, jammed into the top left corner of the 1024x768 screen.....no fix seemed possible. Then a friend put me onto Puppy Linux; I tried 'Precise' & 'Slacko', both of which gave the same problem. I was ready to consign her to the great scrapheap in the sky, when somebody suggested I try the new 'TahrPup 6.0' release, based on the 3.14-20 kernel...

EVERYTHING works perfectly; she now has a new lease of life.....and runs 10 times better than she ever did under XP; including Samba file-sharing with both MY big Compaq running 14.04, and my Mum's Dell 15R lappie running ******* 7, and network printing. Even running a mini-conky! I'm like a kid with a new toy...

Regards,

Mike.

Samsung Galaxy S4.

I can use it without engaging the analog computer I have been building out of organic molecules for more than 50 years. I think that one is actually starting to operate less efficiently.

Toshiba Tecra A7 (http://www.cnet.com/products/toshiba-tecra-a7-15-4-core-2-duo-t7200-win-xp-pro-1-gb-ram-120-gb-hdd/specs/)

The only modification made was the replacement of the OS (back then replaced Windows XP Professional with Xubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope) and the RAM upgrade from the initial 1 GB to 4 GB.

[fyfe54]

System 76 Gazelle Pro, about 6 months old. About to put 240 Gig SSD in it....

Update: Added the SSD and did clean install of 14.10. Easy. And this thing is just flying.....

[mamamia88]

I'm running a patched together optiplex 745. I think I paid $100 for the original tower and another $20 or so for an hd5450. I threw in an ssd that i originally bought on sale for like $60 to use on a netbook that is no longer with me. I ordered a e6700 cpu from ebay for $18 which hopefully boosts performance a bit. Pretty snappy in everything but sometimes a new tab in chrome doesn't load properly and it's annoying. I probably shouldn't be wasting more money on this computer but for $20 I'll give it a go

Old and heavy, but gets the job done.
Great on site warranty.
Spilled a full cup of coffee, with cream and sugar, on it, soaked it in the bath tub for 15 minutes, and it still works.

For my Ubuntu pleasure, I have a 2-4 yr old Lenovo B590 Laptop with a core i3 2nd generation, using Intel onboard graphics, 15 inch screen, 320 GB HD and 8 GB of memory.
I am using the latest Ubuntu with Unity DE 64 bit, version 14.10; It flies! I run 3 64 bit VM's with it - Windows 7, FreeBSD 10.1 and OpenBSD 5.6;

That seems pretty good; How do you think it compares to Lenovo's? I also have a Lenovo W530 with 24 GB of memory, but I keep it Windows based due to the Nvidia KM1000 video card.
I run BSD's and Linux virtually on it.

Actually, I'm posting this from my iPhone 5s. But, I have two laptops, a Thinkpad X220 running Ubuntu 14.04.1, and a Thinkpad T400, running the Ubuntu 15.04 development release, both of which I use regularly.

[Roasted]

I'm on a Dell Latitude E7440 (came with Ubuntu on it) running 14.04.1 while backing up files to my server (OpenMediaVault, Debian based) while streaming some Jupiter Broadcasting on my HTPC (14.04.1 powered).

I have a rather Linuxy household.

[DiogoSaraiva]

Actually I'm posting from a Macbook Pro Retina 13" but my Ubuntu is on a Mini Desktop PC "Giada A51B-BP001" Barebone with 120 GB of SSD and 4 GB of RAM...
I use mostly my Macbook to control my Ubuntu via SSH...

Sincerely I'm thinking about installing in dualboot if possible on my macbook a copy of Ubuntu....

Cheers
And a happy new year

[PaulW2U]

Right now I'm using a Samsung R720 laptop which came with Windows Vista installed.

Eventually I needed something on which to install Ubuntu so Vista got deleted. For a while I dual booted Ubuntu with Kubuntu but now it runs just Kubuntu 14.04 LTS.

:( on my ageing HP 530 lappy (cause my desktop decided to simply refuse to switch on... no power, nothing starting up) running Lubuntu 14.04. Got to give props to Lubuntu and LXDE in general, it is pretty solid it is just... just... it feels so '98 :'(
