Oh, I didn't realize but I've also had a Jade laptop. I was just holding it upside down.
That's crazy, how can somebody not know what brand of laptop they...
HOLY SHIT ME TOO
Hey, back in the late 90s I bought a laptop from a reputable seller and had literally no idea who the manufacturer was. Was a pretty good laptop for the era too. The badge on the back of the monitor said "Notebook".
I had to put the product ID code on the bottom into an online search engine - possibly very early Google - to find out it was made by Taiwanese company called Kapok.
Kind of wish I still had it, but I donated it to a good cause years ago.
I would never buy Jade. I always buy snsv laptops
I have dy. How does that compare to snsv?
Nobody would ask for the brand in reality. For 99% of computer issues it's going to be something specific to the used software or Windows, and if the hardware turned out to be relevant in any way, you'd ask for the model because the brand itself is useless for most issues.
Sorry it was just jarring to me. :P
The brand can be a great identifier. If the response is "Apple", I can't help you. If the response is "HP" or "Dell" or "Walmart", I know the issue is likely because of proprietary garbage that's locked down "for the safety of the user".
When speaking to the computer illiterate, the brand question will usually be answered with either "Apple" or "Windows". You gotta get that answer out of the way so you don't waste 15 minutes trying to get someone to right-click something only to find out they only have 1 mouse button.
We know it's not an Apple user because they are using WhatsApp instead of exclusively iMessage.
/s :P
In almost everywhere but America imessage is rarely used anyway
Almost nowhere but America exists /s
Distinguishing mac users might be significant.
That is true, but that's still a weirdly phrased question if what you wanted to know is if it's a Mac.
Of course you ask the brand. With the less tech savvy, you need to be clear and specific in your language. If you ask "is it a macbook?" you'll get confusion as reply. People understand brands though. Even asking if it's Windows might be confusing, because Windows is all they know.
I mean if it's an Alienware good chance something has burned out.
Na it could also be any of the trash software, or the bios, or any one of their proprietary parts, like ram sticks
I hadn't heard that, but it makes total sense given how they're manufactured.
I've bought and repaired quite a few broken pcs over the years, and anytime it's an Alienware that's not starting up it usually means the motherboard has burned out and usually taken the CPU with it.
Mostly because they use the intel stock cooler on an i7 and then make that singular fan also pull double duty as exhaust in an itx sized case, without having heatsinks on any of the vrm or PSU components.
I ask so I can avoid touching an HP. If you have an HP you must live with your own sins as I refuse to bare that burden again.
Can that jade PC play the classic game WOOD
DooD MooM
WOOᗡ
"where sial"
It's either singlish or manglish, English dialects found exclusively in Singapore/Malaysia. You can read that as "where tf"
