The AOL Optimized PC

Who would buy this junk? I mean, c'mon, AOHELL is making a computer now? PCs have seriously gone downhill, maybe it's time to switch to Mac or Linux.

You know it's got a lot of sweet features when things like the "Extendable Paper Reception Tray" and the "Cloth Speaker Cover Mesh" are carefully labeled.

So 56 ur gonna by just so u can take the cloth of the speaker mesh lol
its quite cheap there selling it for £155-170 quite cheap my new pc cost £468 and I gotta add cost of new graphics card onto that lol

Pretty sure a lot of people will buy it. Big companies usually plans very well what they are going to make and who they can sell it-

Who would buy that junk? Probably me granny, George W. Bush, Tally Ho, and Bolo would give millions for that.

@56k LOL!

I can't understand why they mislabeled the sweet coffee cup holder. You'd think that would be a big selling point.

^ lol

Well I coulda told you that a LONG time ago… XD

Lol.

That G5 and Virtual PC App looks better every second...

Id take the aol pc over a mac any day

B

Aol Is a Piece of Major Shit I Would Take a Piece of Dog Crap over an aol Spyware infected Pc And Crawling With Worms. As a Manner of Fact I think Dog Crap has the same Value as an AOL Pc Dog Turd+Dog Turd=Aol Pc

It Doesn't Even Have Windows xp Sp2 on it
And an Intel Celeron=garbage

"The New AOL Optimized PC now comes loaded with more spyware then ever!"

Seriously folks, I tried this in the store (CompUsa) and I tried to get in to Task Manager via the task bar. It wouldn't let me, itstead, it says "This computer is not allowed to use task manager."

However, I finally got in it using the run command. There must have been 50 things running, half of them I don't even know what they are.

SP2 is the worst thing since ME

Bolo don't be so hard on yourself, you're not that bad...

_meh

Took me a minute 56k.,..but, LOL

@Bolo

Do you really know what you're talking about when you bash macs...or is it just hot air?

Good idea Racer Swear Aol Makes a nice computer a piece of Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! X/

XD Sp2 is Anoying but it does help Because I installed windows on a pc in a day had it working perfect multiboot with winxp x64 edition and I never installed Sp2 it crashed in 1:00 hour. I installed Sp2 on Winxp PRO. :)

It only has 2mb of graphics memory

I think that's just scary that AOL would resort to that kind of crap just for more money. I mean, come on! They own basically every big business on the market, they rake in billions and billions of dollars every year and they want MORE money? They get more money in a year than most people will get in a lifetime of hard working and actually doing something, but all they do is sit around and overcharge for a lousy ISP, occasionally pressing a button to accept an incoming request. I think that it's funny that the people that do the most in society today (ex Janitors) get paid the least, while a bunch of fat, lazy, overpaid jerks make all the money doing nothing at all! Think about it; why do bankers make money? They don't do anything, except for put money in a vault and use it to their liking! My dad transfered money to Toulouse in France so that we could have money to use there when we travel in February, and it cost $40 just to transfer money online! Do they even earn those $40 in the least? NO! If Janitors earned $40 at a time for wiping up people's shit in the bathroom stalls, then this society would be a much better place to live in.

Thank you.

For 1 thing I dont like PCs I have like 10 macs also they never make those good games for mac and I olny have 1 PC and its really slow so its hard to play on it + I only have 1 game that works on it (dont ask why I have a PC) (also my brothers friend has the game for it so I cant play it)

Macs are The Biggest Piece of Shit That ever Met The face of the Planet

Spunky, This is what the banker did when he got your $40.

PS: How many janitors do you think AOL/TimeWarner employs?

@ ^

They must need millions seeing what crap they have.

LOL 56!!!!!!!!!!!

Pay more for something that does less

No brainer

B

@ Bolo RE: "Pay more for something that does less"

Hmmm... Less viruses (as in NONE) and less malware (as in NONE).

I think I'd rather have "less". With that "less" I get from my OS X Mac system I seem to get so much more enjoyment than my PC using friends. Have fun with your Windows system. Your antivirus software is calling. Good luck & G'day.

@56K re: your link.... LOL :P

So what? Just learn how to live with it and how to avoid getting one.

Their persuasive language is making me buy one of these. Man I cant wait these 7-21 shipping days. I can't wait for these amazing features!

Oh Boy I Can't Wait!

56k -

That's a cool song - I've had it for quite a while in my song library. Here's the link to it.

Hey spunk can I have a link to your music library on.mac? Thx

@ Racer RE: "So what? Just learn how to live with it and how to avoid getting one."

I agree. You can do such by getting a Mac. ;)

@Panzer

Sure.

Geeze I love that Garage Band Song! It is awesome!

I'm not even finished with it yet! O_o

That's the introduction, I'm going to make it at least four minutes long.

LOL

I always get a kick out of these threads and how they eventually turn into Mac vs EverthingElseInTheWorldComputerIMadeMyOwn.

Usually it can be summed up as; Macs are to expensive as I can get my Windows based EverthingElseInTheWorldComputerIMadeMyOwn that does everything your Mac does for a lot less.

OK, then why would you spend anything more than what AOL is offering? Obviously cheapest is best, otherwise you're an idiot. Right?

To say otherwise would mean there must be a difference in what goes inside and with who makes it.

http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/36120.html

"At the low end, therefore, the PC desktops are marginally less expensive than the Macs -- if you can do without their connectivity and multimedia capabilities -- and considerably more expensive if you can't. At the very high end, however, all of the design focus is on multimedia processing and the PCs simply aren't competitive from either hardware or cost perspectives."

I absolutley will not buy a mac, however Linux looks better and better since it is basicly a Unix-Based Windows...

_{Hmm... A Unix based windows...}

Yeah, like stuff from the dollar-store. I remember buying a battery there that lasted 3 minutes on my Gameboy!
