when are home PC prices coming down?
what's the best brand for a laptop: lenovo, hp, msi, asus or dell?
>>526373115probably dell since they hired all the alienware guys
Not anytime soon because half the parts being made for the next 2 or so years have been pre sold to AI data centers. Bubble has to pop for prices to go down but unfortunately when it does you probably will be too broke to afford them.
>>5263729722028 at the earliestbut more likely neverPeasants wont be allowed computersyou'll get a tablet that connects to the amazon cloud and pay a subscription fee for hardware
>>526372972
>>526372972>almost 8 thousand dollars for a laptop ??
>>526372972hey hey third world prices! welcome to the shit currency gang, merica. congrats!
>>526373859That's about what a really good one cost in early 90s dollars.
>>526372972All I want to know is do any of these pc parts use silver? Yes or no?
>>526373115I like Lenovo and Asus.
>>526372972> Gaming Laptop
You retards aren't falling for this, right? These are posted by a single third-party seller on BestBuy's website asking huge markup on old stock (notice the 3050?) thinking some retard is going to fall for it. OP sorted from high to low to make those show up first.
>>526373115lenovo thinkpad is the only correct choice
>>526376151This
>>526373115MSI locks the firmware so you can't use grub as a bootloader for Linux. You can still do it, but it's pretty annoying.
>>526372972When we get rid of Trump, MAGA and its oligarchs.
>>526373115lenovo, asus, and then msi, in that order.hp&dellare jeet coded
>>526372972i payed almost $6000 2 decades ago for a laptop thats gotta be near $8000 fixed for inflation.
>>526372972All you need is an acer nitro 5 with gtx 3060 they also come with a 1650 for like 250 dollars less. They are under a grand I play everything on high but all the good shit like serious sam 2 and left for dead 2 and halo 3, skyrim, it can play on ultra. Great laptop. Great price no problems had mine for 6 years. You can also add ram but stock its pretty impressive for the price.
>>526372972You can still get a Commodore 64 for less than 1000.
>>526373859>>526375030>That's about what a really good one cost in early 90s dollars.Came to post this. Laptops used to be for executives and field engineers/scientists working for rich institutions. We lived through a golden age of cheap electronics during the 2000s and 2010s.Now the world is just correcting itself.
This isn't a thing. You can get a good laptop for $1000 lol. Why the fuck would you want an i9 and a 5090 in a laptop lol
This has an RTX 3050 in it for 800 bucks. Buy a 60 inch Samsung oled television and you are set. It has upgradable ram slots and the ram is like 60 bucks.
>>526372972I got a ryzen 7 with 32 GB ram and a 4070 laptop for $1100 in mid 2024
The fans are loud but thus has kept me happy for years and I have the gtx 3060 not the rtx. I give it 9/10.
>>526372972>gaming laptopretardeven with the inflated prices, anywhere from 1.5-3k is enough to build a good PC for AAA gamesif you don't play AAA, you can get away with less than 1k
>>526372972never, the age of PC ownership is a thing of the past
>>526373493This. They're going to do the same shit they did with covid and the gas shortage: get us used to paying more then rake in record profits when things normalize because we're all still paying elevated prices.
>>526372972>when are home PC prices coming down?when China create alternative for GPUs, CPUs and RAM, unfortuntly until then it will only get worse unless the IA bubble burse and the US economy collapse with it
>>526373493I wouldn't mind paying a gatekeep tax that keeps all the brownoids out if they weren't still shitting up the internet via their smartphones anyway
Why are you upgrading? I get 90ish fps with frame generation on 4060.I just grabbed an MSI katana w 4060 i7 16DDR5 and expanded SSD to 3tb total for $400....It just had FO:NV and skyrim on it. He tried to wipe it but left a bunch of futa model files lol. intentionally?
>>526380027There should be an internet for pc users and a separate camp...I mean internet. . for phone users.
>>526373493>but more likely neverfor amrimutts it could unironically be never, since even if there is a chink alternative, their ZOG regime will tarif the shit out of it or straight out ban it
>>526379216What a piece of shit unc!
>>526379939Gay just buy a macbook pro m5
Used car prices
>>526372972RAM and VGA supply will stay low for at least 2 more years according to the biggest manufacturers. Unless the AI bubble pops, these prices are only going to get worse.
>>526380122I'd sign up for that instantly. It would still be full of Ruskies, SEApeople and so on, but at least it wouldn't be the worst people from those areas anymore, like you get with phones.
>>526372972Literally never. This is the new normal, fuckwit.>when are house prices coming down?>when are car prices coming down?>when are used car prices coming down?etcEverything is a fucking appreciating asset nowadays, at least nominally, because our money is shit. But don't worry your wages won't keep up because that would cause inflation :)
>>526372972After you buy one
>>526380027people already willingly pay insane monthly fees for data limits on their phone. of course they will also pay once computation limits get rolled into their mobile phone plan.
>>526380185Like your country was until whitey came taught you how to be human ayyy mr kim.
>>526380238Even when the AI hardware become surplus, it's not attached to gaming GPUs, but instead AI co-processors using similar chips to GPUs.
>>526380258>Literally neverIt obviously will eventually. Just not voluntarily.But excessive greed always eventually leads to violence from the masses which resets the system.Might not be in 5 years, neither in 10, maybe not even in 20.But the more areas of the economy start engaging in this excessive grifting, the more that end result will be accelerated.
>>526373115my toshiba from college still works and has the coffee mod for San Andreas
Cool, it's this thread again.
>>526380316Mostly true but those AI datacenters also have a large stock of gaming hardware too. They'll be scrambling to get rid of those when the bubble pops and they'll be perfectly fine for gamers for several more years to come. And the RAM they use is the same kind of RAM that gaming PCs use.
>>526372972Welp. Should have just bought a pre built around Christmas. Newegg had some good GPU deals
>>526372972lol lmao
>>526380316it will free up the production capacity, ie the wafers that where going for IA chips would need to go to something else
>>526380505Server RAM uses the same basic parts as consumer RAM, but is usually built up as parity RAM. Not all motherboards support it, and a lot of game PC builders see parity as a source of latency.
>>526373115apple
>>526372972Damn. I really should have just bought some shit back in December. My PC is third world tier but the 970 just won't fucking die and I can still play a lot of modern games like RE4 remake so fuck it. I think the only game I have tried to play and it was just fucked is FF7R Intergarde or whatever the fuck with Yuffie.
>>526380520>WeLpwElP>WeLpwElP>WeLPGo back
>>526375030>>526379770Yeah when they were new and expensive, no excuse now except for temporary high prices due to AI.
>>526380321>It obviously will eventuallyWhy? Why do you assume that the wealth, prosperity and progress that we have enjoyed for the past ~centuryish will continue? Has it never crossed your mind that maybe, these truly WERE the golden ages, and they are never coming back?There is plenty of evidence to believe that this is the case. I'm not even saying there will be a complete societal collapse, I actually think there WILL be PCs, but there is reason to believe they might just cost a shitton and be very niche products in general, because we lose the ability to manufacture them at an economical scale. Humanity stopped producing aquaducts for thousands of years before quality drinking water became a thing. We might just stop having cheap electronics for a few hundred years. Which practically speaking, is "never".
>>526376887I bought a stack of i7 thinkpads from a school district for ~160 each. No harddrives but seemed like too good of a deal to pass up.
>>526379216Did they make them for men too?
>>526380926>temporary high prices>temporary topkek
>>526380919Nigger I've been here for 19 years. Drop dead. If you notice I didn't even realize I sent that post and in fact rewrote it and posted it. Just to avoid autistic faggots like you
>>526372972When you retarded consoomers stop buying them.>>526373115I can attest that Lenovo sucks ass. Had one crash after only a couple years, motherboard fried itself. Called support and they said it's a known issue because they forgot to add ventilation. The fuck are they even selling us. Anyway I replaced the motherboard but they're not all compatible even with their own parts, so now I have no speakers and the USB ports don't work. Also the battery went to shit almost immediately, it has to be plugged in or the laptop dies within 10 minutes. Worst piece of shit I've ever owned. Best was Samsung, still running the same one since 2013 and it has every port from the time and a CD tray on a fucking laptop. They did good and it lasted.
>>526372972>Gaming laptopdoes anyone still fall for that BS?
>>526375667Chang, get the fuck out from La Lagunilla, you are a pest
>>526372972When China starts releasing their GPUs and RAM into the worldwide market. 2028 probably.
>>526373115Macbook pro
>>526380373Based hot coffee enjoyer
>muh pcmryou are drowning in a puddle. you should never get a gaming laptop anyway.apu laptops are the only answer.>>526373115>asusASUS Zenbook OLEDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIKBF8lvlhg
>>526373115The MyAsus bloatware that ships with their laptops is mega cancer and you need it to control battery charge limits and power plans.Avoid.
>>526372972Wow the laptop with the 3050 is 1k more expensive than the laptop with the 5090. Try harder you absolute mongoloid
>>526372972YIKESi bought everything i needed last month. i can sit pretty for 10 years.
>>526383714>>526380668Shalom my fellow whites! How are my gentiles doing today
>>526384315Im part jewish and is a practicing korean jew im not a gentile.
>>526372972Never. You'll have to rent processing power from Bezos now.
>>526380027You already know that brownoids will get a discount for being brown.
>>526372972never - the dollar keeps devaluing every year. It's called inflation - but what they never teach you is that inflation continues forever - deflation makes economist panic because the debt based economy becomes more expensive when there is deflation.Nothing ever becomes cheaper when there is already market presence / saturation. The $5 footlong is gone. The $5 for 5 roast beefs are gone. The $200 beater car is gone. This is why they want you to invest in the stock market with your money - it feeds the debt engine and the plate spinning goes on a little longer before everything crashes out.
>>526373115unironically Apple, macbook air or the pro if you want to pay for one. laptops are the only thing they do well.
>>526373115Currently lenovo has the best gaming laptops. The have 165hz oled and spec'd as nice as you like.
>>526372972>early nineties computer pricesmmm we are so back
>>526379978>gtx 3060?
>>526375712Yeah anything more than an i5, 24gb total ram and 1060 chip is a meme in a laptop.
This is the one. https://a.co/d/2qPOMc4
>>526373755they want to turn everything into subscription services>internet>water>power>rent>food>carcomputers are one of the few freedoms we have left, probably their biggest threat too.
>>526386889Jealous of my 128GB RAM and RTX 3500 Ada?
>>526372972>bought a PC with an RTX 3070 in 2020>still runs everything wellWhy would you even buy a gaming laptop? That's retarded.
>>526386682based oldhead rememberer. I'm no happier than the next guy about this development but we at least have the frame of reference to understand what an unusually bountiful time we'd been living in for the last 20 years or so. Relative to average lowermiddle to middle class wages electronics have been so unbelievably cheap, even during the covid chip shortages comparing to the historical norm. It wasn't going to last forever.
>>526379978>8gb ramit cant even fit the win11 installer
>>526372972They're not, ever
>>526387991Not really, sounds like having the heat of the sun on your lap.
>>526373493or you can just buy avr chinese pc in 2029 (made in taivan post capture) witch will cost 1/5 of current avr pc
>>526388730Gives me great balls of fire!
>>526379999These people really are just trying to speed run to the 'getting their skulls boiled in the street by some nigger chicken merchant' point on the timeline.
