You think you’re so great with your 8GB DDR3 memory and your 2TB hard drive. You think you’re so much better than me, just because I’m a lowly cup full of pencils and you’re a fancy HP desktop PC. Well, listen: nobody else on this desk wants you here, OK? This desk used to be […]

You look at this and you see a computer, but it’s more than that. It is a wall blemish blocker. You know that low-to-the-ground smudge on the wall? Simply place this HP in front of it, and boom! It’s gone. It’s also a CD hider! Let’s say you have a CD-Rom you’re really embarrassed about. […]

Use this: for serious computing tasks, like opening this in 500 browser tabs. Don’t use this: to make sense of the complex emotional dynamics at play in this scene. No amount of computing power can help you there, friend. In 99.9% of uses, this doesn’t: judge your Google search syntax. (e.g. “Dog raisin poisonous?”) If […]

Be honest with us: Do you pay attention to anything we say about computers we sell, or do you just immediately Google the model and look for reviews? You won’t hurt our feelings either way, and we’ll keep writing these dumb product descriptions, but we’re just sort of curious. For instance, we claim that you […]

Use this: to stir up ENVY among your friends who would envy a pretty good affordable laptop. Don’t use this: as a fragrance. The only way to make this better would be: if when you opened it and closed like it was monster with a big mouth, it made loud chomping noises so you wouldn’t […]

But when the silicon hits the road, when you need high-performance performance, is that little brushed-aluminum fashion accessory really going to manhandle the 1s and 0s into line? Don’t risk […]
