Yeah, you're supposed to do that with old west train robber bandits or 16th century buccaneers, not contemporary terrorist groups.

What did I just watch? I'm not a hardcore gamer or flight attendant. Was this an ad for building a computer? Will they let anyone bring this on a flight or just employees? Why should I care about this product? Why doesn't the computer come pre-assembled?

I think it's pre assembled but configurable if you want to later. I kinda like it tbh, but yeah the commercial is goofy as hell.

Why should I care about this product? Why doesn't the computer come pre-assembled? Being able to assemble your own computer lets you get better deals in some cases and get the exact parts you want, and also lets you upgrade a couple old parts rather than buy a whole new box, and honestly its as simple as Lego so more people should realize that they're capable of it. Its easy enough kids can do it. The MSI symbol makes it clear who the ad was for (they're trying to sell people custom gamer computer parts, more people buy those that build their own computers than people who show up to Dell and just say "gimme a gaming PC please") it has nothing to do with flight or flight attendants that's just a bad part of the ad. The strategy makes sense but yeah not the best ad. Its "building computers is so easy, even a flight attendant can do it!" so more people build computers and become their customers. Also maybe with an implied "gaming computers are for girls too" ?

It's far from portable, so I don't know what the ad's getting at with the whole flight-attendant angle. Maybe if ti was an ad for the Nvidia Shield or similar, it would make sense. If only there was a machine that would fit on the top of your lap. Some sort of "Lap" "Top", maybe...

Apologies for the terrible photo, googling "Clean Up Baltimore" nowadays just brings up images of the riot aftermath.

I never actually saw it on TV either, I don't think. It may have ran during childrens' programming? I just remember seeing that picture in the calendar, knowing there had to be a song, looking it up, and sadly proving myself right. Crow Jane has a new favorite as of 00:43 on Aug 15, 2015 |

The "beef shirts" advertised in the banner could be sort of awkward. Especially the NFL shirts that say "I HATE THE REDSKINS" or the MLB ones that say "I HATE THE INDIANS" All about context, I guess.

VodeAndreas posted:Sounds like you're not familiar with the Asus Lamborghini laptops (yes that's a real branding partnership) Is that the one that makes a car rev'ing sound when you boot it up? Or maybe that was the Ferrari laptop. Anyone remember that terrible tablet HP put out with Beats Audio built in? Probably similar to the Bang & Olufsen laptop. Off the shelf parts 'tweaked' by the premiere brand. Or maybe using the same software drivers. Perhaps they stuck in a marginally better amplifier or speaker, but it's still a laptop or tablet sound system.

Bang and Olufsen were nice, and pretty, but waaay high end luxury audiophile stuff in my experience. But wasn't/isn't Asus a really good mid range computer parts manufacturer?

Then again the world of high-end audio is mostly style and branding over substance anyway. And Asus are really good for all kinds of parts mid to high range. Crappy RMA service but then again the standard for that is pretty low if it's not EVGA.

My sister spilled coffee on her ASUS laptop and they repaired it for free, I also had an issue with mine not starting up at some point a couple of years ago while out of warranty, they also fixed that with no charge. Their service is pretty awesome from what I have dealt with.

I've been building my own computers for like a decade and yes ASUS stuff is usually top notch. You pay more for ASUS gear but you really do get what you pay for. Their poo poo is solid and very good. Krispy Kareem posted:Is that the one that makes a car rev'ing sound when you boot it up? Or maybe that was the Ferrari laptop. That's high-end crap in general, though. The highest price anything doesn't function much better than moderately priced stuff if at all. Mostly it's about saying "I own an X" like it makes you better than everybody else. Think about, say, cars. A $2,000 Toyota from the 90's that's still in good condition will get you to work just as well as a brand new $90,000 Benz.
