a $3000 personal computer is now considered mid range spec. That is a monthly paycheck. It would take me 2 years to save that much. Because i have to prioritize my money to rent then food then bills then transportation then healthcare then replacing everything that broke before i can save.
>>110105122A pc every 2 years is more than enough. Stop being a bitch.
>>110105122>I must buy or I die!!!Stop being a brainwashed consumer. Problem solved.
Just steal
>>110105122i learned linux minimalism and now every computer in the last 3 decades runs smooth. this coming from someone who used to be a macfag and upgraded frequently. now i can buy a shitbox from a garage sale and make use of it.granted, i'm content with old games and don't edit 4k video, and local AI is too expensive for the average consumer, cloud AI is better anyway, and your $10,000 AI setup will be obsolete within a year.
>>110105122who needs thatjust buy Amazon renewedI got a SFF desktop $120i7 500GB SSD laptop $300lots of perfectly fine Dell govt/office machines being dumped on the used market
>>110105122>a $3000 personal computer is now considered mid range specI had a thread on /vpol/ explode in indignation when I called my mid-2024 build of rtx 4070 and ryzen 7800x3d midrange
>>110105122Just be born with rich mommy and daddy like some anons here are and they shitpost here like spoiled brats about useless shit since that is all their brain can do.
>>110105122You'll own nothing and you'll be happy. Do you remember? FED started to print astronomical amounts of money right before Covid to take money value back from people. Soon you'll be renting even a computer because you'll not be able to afford it.
>>110105122My PC is over five years old now and that $3k was considered mid-range way back when. My 4090 was $2k and four 16TB HDDs was $1k. $3k wasn't even a whole computer.
>>110109176lmao jelly poorfag
yes anon 3k€ paid 2005 is likely working just fine maybe not for you
>30 years ago: a $3k desktop will be slow in 18 months and obsolete in 3 years>20 years ago: a $3k desktop will be slow in 2 years and obsolete in 4 years>10 years ago: a $3k desktop will still be reasonably usable in 5 years>now: a $3k desktop from 2-3 years ago is pretty much the same as newest techzoomercattle have no idea how good they have it. hardware is powerful, even entry level is good enough for almost everything and modern $3k is a lot less than $3k in the past.
