It is an HP Laptop for $2000, it is unacceptable that it does need so much extra work.
It may not be Microsoft’s fault, but because I need to run Windows on the machine I think that all this PC/Windows world is a complex mass of different components that need to work perfectly. That is why I am a Mac-guy. -

Install Windows on your Mac m8 -

@mossesandberg Why the hell would you spend $2k on an HP? Dell XPS 13 is the way to go if you're going to spend $2k. And why would you order it online? I drove an hour and a half to the nearest store to pick it up.

My problem with BootCamp is my aspie-personality. I don’t like Windows and I don’t like to change components in a bought machine.
The reason I bought this computer is a long story:
I visited a local store in my town in may. Asked the staff for a good, not too expensive, laptop for software development that would last a couple of years. He showed me this HP ZBook G3 15U.
I waited too buy until August and at that point they did not have that computer in store. He did offer me the new G4-version for +500$ which was too high for me, but he also told me that the online store I bought the computer from had it still.
I use to think of HP as a good PC manufacturer, with Dell and Acer. -
@mossesandberg understand. That’s trash that you’re having issues though. I was just looking at it from a costs standpoint. I don’t get why everyone has to be so opinionated on OS’s. Lol idc what other people use. I just prefer the experience from a Mac. And I have an iPhone so my workflow benefits.

@Nilo-jxn as daily device I only use Apple. Because I like how easy it is to use and how well it works together. That is why I get so frustrated when the PC does not work as easily.

@simo002m no, the key on the keyboard.

@mossesandberg good manufacturer and Acer? HP and Acer are about the same level of shittyness.

@mossesandberg Oh I see
When you're preparing for a hard disk format:
This is a view from a rooftop in NYC that I sometimes get the pleasure to work from. I really like the view an...
MacBook Pro... without the retina
I have used Mac since 2011 and I have made statements about how Windows PCs sucks.
I had to buy a Windows-laptop for engineering school and I have experienced problem after problem after problem.
It took about a month to get the right computer (I ordered online and they missed to add an extra hard drive).
I had to return the second one after 10 days because it was not able to boot.
The third one I had to send to HPs repair place in Poland for a week, because the “X”-button” did not work properly.
I have not used the computer for a couple of weeks and now I was going to create an Android Studio-project and found out that the extra hard drive is missing! (Not physically missing, it does not show up)
When I bought the computer I had to portion the disk, but this time it is not showing up in that tool either...
