pizza_Place: It's gone
So the Mac I have since 2014 the screen went to shit on me. I usually wipe it down with clorox wipes but now I read that is not a good thing. I've done it like 10000 times w/ this computer and no problem. But the last time I did it, my screen is flashing now. Not sure if related but that's what the internet said.

So any rec on a cheap laptop to use until I get my mac repaired? I'm looking to spend like $100 - I do also have $100 in gift cards so max $200.

I only need a laptop for internet, watching cubs games, this forum and the history forum. That's about it. I don't do any business type of programs on it.

Is Chromebook ok? I read it is just for internet but it can be slow. Any other recs?

Yes. Clean the Mac with a vinegar and bleach solution. Breathe deeply to make sure that it smells clean. Repeat until you see Satan.

On the off-chance that you are not a mult, don't do this.

Seriously I think the Mac Airbook with the older M1 chip is still a bargain for most.

i dont know the technical specs but it's the 2013 version of mac. its lasted me 10 years and probably can go another 5-7. If it's cheap to get it fixed I'd rather do that than buy a new one which is like $1000+.

I don't want to buy pc because of all the viruses. but if i have to i have to.

Look on Craigslist. Often people will refurbish old Macbooks or even iMacs and sell them for $200 or less.

What were the worst PCs ever? I never had one as a kid, but wished I did.

The Coleco one was supposed to be really bad.

There was that Timex machine they had at Polk Brothers. It looked totally futuristic, and it had a 2k memory. You could type your name on it and that was about it. Stay in your lane, Timex.

Atari 400--with the keyboard that wasn't buttons. What the fuck. Computer guys loved it, though.

Clean a computer with vinegar and bleach solution? That's fucking stupid. You drink the vinegar and bleach solution while microwaving the computer on high for 12 minutes, everybody knows this.

I think Tommy meant ammonia instead of vinegar.

Tracking a tablet I ordered delivered through USPS. Coming from China, goes to distribution centers in Indiana, then California, now in Chicago.

Make sure you plug it in and stick it in a full bathtub while you're sitting in it.

It's cute that you believe a circuit breaker prevents you from being electrocuted.
