back to /v ,you just killed post of at least trash value with your post of lesser value.

hows that not Sup Forums related? I'm not even fucking talking about games, geez

what are you planning to do with it?

play games

Desktop then!

...

not me, you filthy impersonator
Well I'm a future engineer student, so I might need to do some college related work on it, like autocad and shit, I don't know.
I'm not gonna lie, the idea of playing sum gaymez doesn't sound that awful... I never played games since 2007 on my late ps2, I kind miss it sometimes. ruth is I'm a poor fag

>Mom agreed to buy me a new pc
Please be

But I'm not talking about games, I'm talking about computers...

get a laptop with an i5 + a dedicated nvidia card. Lenovo and HP make good ones. Check walmart. You'll have a fast computer and you will be able to play some vidya.

im 23 but Im neet

Get a fucking job you fucking manchild

>walmart
> hp computers
am I being trolled? Isn't HP a printer brand? and don't supermarket pcs suck ass?

Working on it. Luckily university will start this years, depending on how long teachers go on strike. hen, after 6 years, I'll graduate. Bright future ahead

Hp is alright. I'm on an envy m6 for school and it handles solidworks without crashing. Just remove the bloat yourself. Otherwise you could just get the money from your mother and build a pc instead, probably for less than what a prebuilt costs and with better performance.

>bright future ahead
I hate to break it to you, but you're on Sup Forums asking for tech advice right now. You have no future.

what's your budget?

I dont know

thats my fear about laptops... Won't they cost more than a desktop and be less powerful?
Eletronics are very overpriced in my country, and our currency is not very strong compared to dolars. I believe she's pay for... I don't know how you call it in english, split the bill in many many little bits you pay with the slow and gradual passage of time... So 12 months paying 400 national bucks a month... that makes 1300 gringo dolars.

which country are we talking about?

Fuck off and make sure to tell your mother's boyfriend we said he's a fucking cuck.

my country doesn't let me acess that link :(

Desktop

brazil

meant to quote you

why?

well that changes things. Go for a desktop. Get a 3rd gen i5 + 8gb of ram + a geforce 750ti/1050 + a 1tb hdd and be happy with it. You can try importing from Chile, it has better deals on hardware.

civil engineering. Suck my balls, bitch.
I wonder if I will suffer a lot of homophobia in there

>Mom agreed to buy me a new pc.

Depends on a lot of things. Most importantly, how much money mommy is willing to spend on you. The less money she's willing, the more likely my answer would be desktop.

After that it depends on other questions. So answer that one first.

My mom said I needed it to go out and talk to the girls at my school so I can show them how much I know code. She said she'd cut off my Good Boy Points if I didn't get laid and also because my stepdad wanted me out of the house,, why???

I'm from SA too so I can be helpful. If you really need something portable to take to university then get a used ThinkPad t420 or x220. You can find them for cheap, they are very fast for the price (you should expect to pay 3x for something similar in a computer or department store) and they are durable as hell. Then you can get a gpu, monitor, and mouse + keyboard for comfy home use (you can connect a gpu to a ThinkPad using the pci slot). If your university has a good computer lab you can use when you are there then just build a pc with an i5 processor.

4800 reais, which translates to approximately 1300 dollars

laptop so you can take it to the bathroom and watch porn on it.

We use cellphones fo dat

>The time has come. Mom agreed to buy me a new pc
I think your mom should decide that for you...

>ops mom gets a 200$ netbook for her beautiful son
>"But mom, i need to run my 'advanced applications'. that thing won't do"
>"Bullshit. As long as I pay for it, I decide what you get and what not. If you want something better, get your own frickin' money!"

My mom is a good one. She cares for my whims
