Our schools would barely get the teachers chalk if they begged hard enough for long enough publicly enough

aaaaand they are gone.

Does your school offer some sort of graphics program? That's the only reason I can think of why they'd even bother with that.
Yeah, it's a media heavy class
Overpriced mouse too.
Both will get stolen.
Who will steal a Razer mouse? It will break in a week, hardly worth the hassle.
Have you never been to a school before
I was just trying to make a joke about Razer's absolutely godawful QC.
I have a Razer mouse, it's lasted me years. I've had two in fact, one at work as well.
From my very sample size, their wireless stuff is trash, but the wired stuff lasts ages. I had a Diamondback for 20 years.
I have a razer mouse and the paint chipped off. Terrible quality mice. Honestly though, that's the only razer device that still functionally works as intended though, everything else is unusable
Anecdotal I know but my Razer Basilisk turns 5 years old next week. I think this is the longest I've ever used a mouse.
What kind of school is this?
Too bad the service tag isn't visible, would love to know the other specs
It's my college, I took a gander at the specs, about 2.8 something ghz, 64gb ram, pretty respectable, this is for a video editing and animation class so it makes sense they've got some beefy parts
64GB RAM is pretty overkill imo
From what I've read, editing 4K video can use that much memory.
Our school had apple IIe's and I turned out just fine. Don't be distracted by what other people or things can do or look like. You are there to put knowledge in your brain that can help you survive the rest of your life. That's your goal and a shiny computer is not the only thing that's going to get that to happen. A shiny computer isn't even close to being a thing that adds new knowledge to your mind. It is simply a way to pose new knowledge for you to read and learn.... Just as much as a bike can take you to the library and a librarian can point you to a book about gardening.... Nothing will happen until you read the words about gardening and learn what gardening is.
Sure, but also learn and use the tools available. Unless you’re saying having an apple IIe wasnt shiny.
I dont know when you went to school but at launch the IIe price was $1995 with a disk, controller and monitor which would have been $6450 last year
Again... Not about the price or innovation. I assume that you're a student. So my suggestion is that you don't look at it as an awesome thing but as a tool to learn awesome things with.
I'm an engineer. I don't look at a computer with any sort of impressive response. I use the computers I have at my disposal to their max capacity.
For example, I have a 90+ core system with 200+ gb of ram specifically for finite element analysis using PrePoMax an open-source FEA program. No movies or entertainment games or anything to be impressed about. Just members in, numbers out. That's all there's to it.
My other computer is much less impressive and its for CAD, presentations, documentation and research. I'm just saying, they're tools. It's not like having a sound at home that you can ride
