With AI driving GPU and VRAM prices up, are laptops overpriced right now? Kinda tempted to just wait 2–3 years until the bubble deflates.

not really actually, big brands are getting ram for cheap the only people fighting for ram are enthusiast builders. laptop prices are about the same as they were a year ago. dont except it to ever go down, just up

find another 250 and this would be ok

Acer, huh? I was actually leaning more toward ASUS or Lenovo.

ASUS because my old laptop is ASUS too, and that thing is thick and durable as hell. It even fell from a medium height once and was still totally fine.

Lenovo because that seems to be the general consensus on Reddit.

Man, my laptop finally gave out today. The audio was crackling all day and then, of course, after I hit it out of frustration, the sound just died completely. Classic.

I’ve been using this thing for almost 10 years, so I figure I deserve a new one at this point, but I still want to repair the old laptop too, just in case I need a backup.

This machine has been through so much with me. The battery even bloated (super dangerous, could’ve exploded), so I had to remove it myself.

And to top it all off, I just bought a new phone, so my budget is already tight. Anyway, does anyone know a good mid-range gaming laptop under $1,000?

wow....... that is a bad thing to happen now in this RAM climate. you (and your loyal laptop) have my condolences

if it is not soldered in it may be a good idea to grab some of that ram out of the device! lenovo was doing a good for value range of gaming laptops a year ago 40 series and now some 50 cards, but their prices have gone up a lot. some of their "legion" series laptops are on sale (not the hand-helds), but what i saw was fifty or sixty dollars-so over your budget.

as MattaMus11 (how in god name do i tag someone ) said it is very possible for RAM to just keep going up...... many manufacturers are starting to put less or even sometimes older ram sticks in their consumer products..... some desktop computers pre-built have even been shipping without ram at all i have seen.

if you saw my bank balance you would know for sure i am not one to give financial advice but it may be a bad idea to wait too long.

It is a sad time to try buying computer parts ;-; (also to tag someone do @ then their name <3)

I can also relate :3

Another day another fap...

As a side note, what is the main difference between this and Fuck95? It seems like such a niche audience that where really wouldn't be a need for multiple sites dedicated to it.

Besides having games they won't allow, the mods and admins here aren't power hungry twatbags that delete anything they don't like and ban people on whims.

Thanks. Ten years is a hell of a run. He will be remembered.

I’m assigning him a male pronoun because, at one point, he was storing a truly heroic amount of porn for me

And don’t you mean $600 over my budget? I checked the Legion 5 Pro series where I live and it’s going for $1,600+.

Man, it’d be amazing if it were actually around $1,060.

My condolences regarding your hardware. I was lucky to assemble a desktop pc before the insane spike in ram prices, and I am glad I didn't wait.

I have a 13yo lenovo ideapad laptop still kicking. It's my emergency computer, running less demanding idle games most of the time.
Its 1tb 2.5" 5400rpm hdd has a lot of bad sectors, but I don't use it for storage anymore. System runs on M2 256gb SSD - bought ~10y ago and it's still working well. CPU performance and low ram limit some of my browsing experience, but it's working. Not sure about modern Lenovo laptops, but good luck, you will need it while trying to save money...

try the lenovo website the price seem to be less there specifically for the legion 5 you mentioned. i think they are having a sale with a coupon or some such you can sort by lowest cost

Ah shit, that came out kinda sexist. My bad, @ylntla81! . *pats head*

Yeah, women can be horny too.

You know what they say: you think you want a horny girl… until you actually get a horny girl.

Mb, I think the text face turning into the emoji made my message seem less playful <3

I haven't been burnt then clearly, I still want a horny girl :3

Only once a day?! I would say another hour another fap

Man, at my age I'm lucky to get off once!

WFH allows me to attempt it daily but if my ED behaves it still takes hours.
