Your encouragement is endearing. Thank you <3

>>723329579
because you could buy a desktop with a 5090 in it.
a laptop 5080 isnt the same as its desktop equivalent, you're in for massive buyers remorse.
>>
>>723329579
Your willing to spend 3k on a gaming laptop but not 400 for a switch 2?
>>
what kind of battery life can you have while running 5080? 30 minutes?
>>
>>723329579
Do you play video games at work? That's the only reason I bought a gaming Laptop.
>>
Well, winter is coming, you gonna need something to keep the house warm.
>>
Not like you're saving for a house lmao
>>
Financing any consumer electronic device is nigger behavior
>>
>>723329932
Why do these faggots have to always make themselves known.
>>
255 a month on a laptop is so funny
>>
>>723329932
Gaming laptops are a scam but not more so than consoles, especially a bing bing wahoo tendie toddlerslop tablet.
>>
>>723330151
Anon, he can use a desktop as a space heater, he doesn't need to start a campfire with a laptop.
>>
>>723329579
its equal to an $800 desktop PC in performance, you fucking retard.
>>
>>723329579
you dont have 3k becasue you are poor
>>
>>723330437
It's a portable heater.
>>
>>723329579
why not just buy a desktop?
>>
>>723330614
I can finance it no problem. Besides I have a $2k best buy credit card so I can just stack it on that
>>
A mobile 5080 is not what you think it is, it’s gonna be equivalent to like a 40 series gpu
>>
>>723330550
So i should get an $800 prebuilt instead?
>>
>>723329579
What games would you play? Ask yourself if you really need it. I assume you travel a lot, otherwise why get a laptop. If you only play single players occasionally, just get gamepass and play with cloud. Imagine spending that much money and using it once a week for an hour or two and its some indie game.
>>
>>723330550
A 5080 is $1000 minimum
>>
>>723329579
Windows sucks balls and cocks
>>
>>723329579
Are you planning to move somewhere else for a long time and don't want to build another PC there? If so then a gayming laptop is viable.
Build a PC instead if you're staying in the same place
>>
>>723331065
a DESKTOP 5080 is 1000
a LAPTOP 5080 is more like a desktop 5070 or worse

Nigger you could buy a PS5 and a Lenovo Loq with a 5060 for less than $1,500 combined. High end laptops are NEVER worth it. The thermal throttle will gimp the 5080 so hard it won't be that different than gaming on a 5060. As soon at it gets hot it all goes to shit. I would only buy a high end laptop if you're rich and can afford to game in a room where you can control temperature.
>>
>>723329579
if you cannot afford to buy it outright you shouldn't be buying it, this is why you cannot afford to buy it outright.
>>
>>723329579
You can get laptop with 5090 for that price if you are willing to wait for a deal.

>he doesn't know how to finance with 0% interest
>>
>>723331859
this is why you are poor.
>>
>>723331914
>he wants everyone to pay for a 400k house outright
not all of us are born rich
>>
>>723332013
a house is significantly different than a laptop that will depreciate into e-waste by the time you finish paying it off.

i do have my house fully paid off btw, along with three cars.
>>
>>723329579
Just get it on financing and don't pay it. Credit and debit literally don't exist. I've filled bankruptcy twice and I got to keep all my shit. I just opened an Affirm account with a $5000 limit and bought a PS5 Pro and a new PC.
>>
>>723332182
bro your meaningless credit score?

Laptop CPUs and GPUs are gimped as fuck because they are not able to draw the wattage a normal PC can. They can call it whatever name they want but it's a shitty monkey model version of the real thing. Gaming laptops are one of the gayest things in the fucking world considering the stupid price vs what you get vs a same price PC.

Also expensive laptop = thief bait and I mean what is the fucking point of it, "oohh I can play Minecraft at my friend's house!!!" what are you fucking 13 or some shit. Do you not already have a normal PC. You literally don't need a portable device to be a gaymer thing unless you either a.) actually don't need those specs for gaming but some shit for work like cad etc or b.) you are a trucker or something and mostly are away from a place you can sit down at a desk to use a PC for much of your waking life. No student doesn't count for that at fucking all.
>>
>>723332013
You can save that money easily in 10 years
>>
>>723329579
Buying anything but the cheapest gaming craptop(around 600 usd) is a bad idea
Every additional bit of power they can get from super costly chips will just get niggered by thermals
>>
>>723332465
credit score is a meme, when it comes to getting mortgage so the only loan in your private life that actually means anything nobody will even pay attention to meme score.
>>
>>723329579
buy a cooling stand as well then, it will drop the tempts by 5 celsius which may seem like not a lot but for longevity it is helpful
>>
>>723332538
>while renting in this economy
i guess i could always live in my car for 10 years
>>
>>723332648
Those stands with seal foam can drop temps by 10°C
>>
>>723329579
do it you fucking faggot
>>
>>723329579
Preparing for liftoff...
>>
>>723329579
if you can afford it and the interest is 0% then go for it. computers are only going to get more expensive
>>
If you finance with 0% interest you actually buy it for less because of the inflation think about it
>>
>>723332182
wtf infinte money glitch???
>>
>>723329579
>start game
>BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
laptop gaming is a torture
>>
>>723330550
I got a PC like that for €2000 so no. Laptops cost more because they're harder to build and the components are harder to make.
>>
>>723329579
Do you have a job that makes you move back and forth a lot? If not just finance a prebuilt desktop pc instead. Ideally actually just finance a good gpu and buy the rest of the parts yourself so you can build your own pc and save some money.
