the speed and sensitivity feels exactly the same imo.
charging batteries also isn't that bad as long as you have an extra pair to use once the others run out & need charging.

I use a wireless mouse and it's both those things along with the convenience of being usable more than 1m away from the pc.

>no input lag thanks to low latency reciever and transmitter.
>battery is recharchable and I've never needed to change it as it has a 50 hour battery life and comes with a spare battery which i keep on charge on the occasion that it does need to be changed... also you can connect a wire as well, although i never use it.

its very rare for a wireless mouse to be superior to a wired mouse, because there is a lot of encoding and decoding that is going on between the emitter and the receiver. for example, if a company wanted to make their mice more "affordable", they could choose to include more "inexpensive" (slower) encoding and decoding chips in the emitter and receiver. where a wired mouse will send straight usb signals. granted, the movement must still be encoded and decoded, there is a lot less of it going on, and therefore lower chance for cheap parts.

At first i thought nothing of it, i got it for free so it would probably break fast.

i5's are actually the sweet spot for gaming.

It's the laptop i5's you want to stay away from, since they are all hyperthreaded dual cores.

The only difference between i5 and i7 is hyperthreading which is used by practically no games. A lot of people with i7's disable hyperthreading when playing games because it's completely useless. The only games you will even see a benefit going from an i3>i5 are big multiplayer games where player positions are handled by the cpu.

tldr: Unless you're getting at least a 770m/7970m, an i7 is a waste of money.

Hello I'm an artist/designer and I use a PC. It's been an industry standard for so long I think it's just a sheep thing. There are a couple perks, like it comes with free Adobe suite and it has more type faces (which are important, don't even start me) but at least for me the only reason I'd get one is because it has all these mac limited edition designey stuff that clients are always asking for.

Well PCs, some come with Microsoft office but that is just the manufacturer throwing us a bone. Apple computers legitimately come with the creative design suite. That costs a lot of money, crazy amounts. So it balances out a bit.

No you misunderstand. Ok so say a PC with certain specs is $1000, and to buy the creative suite additionally is another $1000. Then on the other team there's a Mac with the exact same specs as the PC, as well as the creative suite for $2200. So it kinda evens out.

I have the legitimate copies of all my programs, costs me a pretty penny too.

The reason artists go for mac's is because they have an IPS screen which displays more "true to life" colours. However you can buy IPS screens for any PC if you do a little research (would recommend).

What he's trying to say is, why buy a Mac when you can do the exact same **** on a PC for so much cheaper. You can buy a hardware-superior PC for the same price as a Mac.

People have this weird idea that if they buy a Mac they're somehow going to be "inspired to produce better things while media editing". Somebody actually told me that's why they prefer the Mac. But it's a complete load of brainwashing tosh.
