I think I've seen the soy meme on just about every possible think people do now

why is everyone on Sup Forums so concerned with how others spend their money?


I never understood this

Usable laptops start from $800. Anything below isn't even enough for comfortable web browsing.

they are neets
they are poor


go figure

>talking about poor people
>dad problably pay everything for him
oh soyboy

>soyboy
>has dad

nice bait

I spent 650 CAD on a Xiaomi Air 12 for school and I don't regret it even a little bit, so you can fuck off.

>Xiaomi Air 12
wow nice piece of chinkshit plastic u cant run linux on it

...

What the actual fuck, literally anything with a modern processor that's better than the celeron line is just fine for comfy web browsing. Even some celerons are probably fine too.

Still, chinks piece of shit with botnet on hardware level.

This must be bait but I'll respond anyway because doubtless there will be braindead faggots reading who believe this.

For general use a mobile ivy bridge i5 is all anyone needs. Anything note recent is a plus, but completely unnecessary.

>muh specs

Not him, but if you buy a cheap laptop it will have a shit screen, shit keyboard and shit build quality with shit cooling.

Unless you buy second hand, that $800 is pretty much the bottom line for anything non-shit.

Another mi notebook user here.
Best laptop i ever had, almost two years without hardware problems.

If you actually think that Intel would allow the Chinese to add anything egregious to the chipset that Intel provides them, you're a moron. You botnet fags are completely ridiculous. We know for a fact that the NSA walks into ISPs and taps their lines directly for data collection (room 614A) and you losers still screech about botnets. No botnet is needed when you freely send your data out into the ether, you gargantuan faggot.

>spending more than $20 on a keyboard
>spending more than $20 on a mouse
>spending more than $50 on a pc case
>spending more than $200 on a smartphone

Yes, good soyim.

Which non second hand laptop can I purchase for that amount of money?

>with botnet on hardware level.
How is this different that any other laptop with Intel IME?

Actually, Intel is a buggy botnet by itself.
Okay. But what about throttling?

>5400RPM shitdrive
>usable
>any year

>not buying a new mac everytime the battery dies
>being this poor

>Actually, Intel is a buggy botnet by itself.
Buggy yes. Botnet... I'm not so sure. Just because there are autistic retards on the internet having fits about IME, doesn't mean it's a botnet. It could be true, but I haven't seen anyhing even close to a smoking gun. Besides, even if it is true, the moment you start using internet services (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Sup Forums, etc.) in any meaningful way, your data is being harvested right then and there anyway. Unless you're storing extremely sensitive data on a networked computer, the hypothetical Intel botnet is a complete non-issue.

On the other hand, the bugs are pretty bad. I would have bought AMD hardware if they were offering anything in the class that I was buying. I might even try to switch now, but I'm not aware of any 12-13" thin laptops with passive cooling from the AMD camp at the moment.

yeah but windows 10 is for nu-soycucklets

You must be late on clearance sales last month, Asus zenbook, inspiron, hpx360 and yoga lineup we're less than $800, core i7, 8 gb ram, 2in1 and ssd.

>buying mouse ever
It's not hard to ask someone to give you his old mouse.

they all have shit screen, shit keyboards, and shit build quality.

>Mah ips display
Is literally the worst ips that exists, tn isn't good either but at least they aren't bending me over for the ips.

replace the dogshit hdd with a 30$ kindan

chromebooks.

why spend money on a word processor?
There are only 2 classes of laptops, shit that gets you by, and desktop replacement, literally anything in between is fucking pissing money away.

mechanical is a one time purchase so long as the connectors are still used
mouse, a good sensor in a mouse costs money,
you can get by on shit, but more often then not 50-70$ is where you get a non shit sensor
computer case... this is a hard one, there are some good sub 50$ cases, but I went with 150$ because I wanted a giant horizontal mount.
buying a cellphone at all for non emergency use.

don't know about you, but most normal people use a computer for porn at some point, do you really want a mouse with someone elses cum on it? unless you got an ultrasonic cleaner, that shit isn't getting 100% clean either.

I'm about to spend $2000 on a laptop using the money given to me free by the US government.

>throttling
What is it?

remove it, use it as external HDD and replace it with an SSD. retard.

Stop pushing this

Most people aren't so smart to understand that, Sup Forums general thinking more money = better && you're a salty poor

>that shit isn't getting 100% clean either.
What an autism. According to your logic you should not shake hands with people.

I trust that most people would make a hell of an effort to clean hands before they touch people, and the ones who dont, fuck no im not touching them.

>soyim
Kek

>$50 PC case
Nigga that's still way overboard. You can get amazing cases for $30

I've jerked off right before several games of basketball. Shaked hands and slapped fives with multiple people. You may think most people wash their hands but they don't. How would you know who did and didn't?

>buying a smartphone

>buying a gpu at all

>what is machine learning?

>
>they are neets
>they are poor
>go figure

No shit, but it's cool that the learned new meme to mask behind

>don't know about you, but most normal people use a computer for porn at some point
Who would touch their computer when they have cum on their hands?

If they want to make a good first impression, I assume they do, if they have nothing perceivable to lose from a poor interaction I assume they just wiped their ass with their hand and rubbed the poo off on the baby changing table.

>what is meme learning
Despite understanding something midly complex, soon the machine learning bubble will pop ans you will end in the streets

unless they only live alone, they have to close the tab before wash their hands.

I paid $900 for a brand new ThinkPad T430 in 2012. Custom and still going strong.

My 1500 $ Asus gaming laptop is now in its 10th year.

>don't live alone
>don't do this
Do your roommates seriously just barge into your room?

You don't get rich by wasting money.

>2008 gaming laptop for $1500
For that same money you could have got a new $300 laptop every 2 years and have something lighter, with longer battery life, and that today outperforms your luggable.

There's a misconception that an assigned amount of payment automatically verifies quality.

Example:
>Acer Aspire 7
>450 USD without tax at Microcenter
>15.6 inch 1080 IPS screen, comfy backlit keyboard, clean aesthetic devoid of gamurr absurdity
>256 SSD, upgradeable
>8 GB DDR4, not a media person/designer
>7th gen Intel i5 2C/4T; not ideal but enough for virtualization for QEMU-KVM

>muh GPU
That's why I have a PC tower at home.

I'm Euro so that 1500 has a million % of taxes on top of it.

>plz sir, don't automate my shitty job sir, i have wif and kid to fide sir

Buying a laptop doesn't give you some tax exempt status. Or are savings taxed each year you hold them there?

>buying a computer at all

>15.6 inch laptop no dedicated GPU
People do this in 2018? are you the kid from the apple tablet commercial?

eGPU is a thing brainlet.

A 300 $ laptop in the USA would be like a 600 $ laptop in Euroland.

1 $ = 1 € because of (((banks))) and there's 20 % VAT on everything and luxury tax.

How does this make a $1500 laptop preferable? Won't that be taxed to the sky as well?

I spent $300 on a cheap ThinkPad L450, and changed the HD with a $300 SSD. Works perfectly. With the HD it was utter trash though. Bought it with Windows 8 just before the free Windows 10 upgrade was running out, I think the prices were dropped hard because they would've been unsellable afterwards.

>Won't that be taxed to the sky as well?

Indeed. But back in the day gaming laptops used to cost less than today, it wasnt the top of the line machine either but it did what i bought it for and i'm surprised it still runs, it's basically running 24/7.

Winbabies don't even know how to make a single .exe run in linux.

>go to microcenter
>buy laptop with good specs for only 1000 USD + tax
>gtx 1060 6gb
>i7 7700hq, a real quadcore with 8 threads
>16 gb of ram
>256 gb ssd
>1 tb hdd
>15.6" 1080p ips display

This nigga gets it.

laptops below 800 have extremely shit build quality and won't survive a year without something falling apart.

Are implying Linux is not top tier?

>eGPU

Ryzen and SD835 laptops should help bring the prices down a bit

It's hard to find Ryzen laptops. Almost everything on the market is Intlel.

Because they only launched Rizen lappies a couple months ago, and only the Ryzen 7. The poorfag Ryzen 5 & 3 are still not available.

i don't get the point about running windows games on ubuntu

>t. only throws away money on brand new laptops

This. This will last you a good 10+ years nowadays

Nice, I actually use a mobile ivy bridge core i5 from a laptop bought in 2012. Windows 8.1 + Classic Shell works fast as fuck on it.

for $600 you get 1080pee ips, intel quad core and gtx 1050.

for $300 you get a bloody atom based celeron with tn panel.

I bought this last month

amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-Convertible-GeForce-R5-571TG-7229/dp/B06WD61CF5

Works pretty flawlessly for what I use it for (light gaming and school)

Poorfags have their own containment threads.

Yeah you'll have two dads

>chinese government botnet

>worrying about price
What are you? A no-trustfunder?

Nigger.

fuck off. i got pic related surface pro 3 for 560 new over 2 years ago and i still use it today

I run a stripped down linux distro and even I find the $300 1.2ghz celeron shittops obnoxiously slow. Sure I could get a core i# secondhand thinkpad circa 2010, but then I'm limited to very low screen resolutions that preclude me from multi-tasking on the thing.

I don't consider a decent machine a waste of money when my laptop is something I use 10+ hours a day and something I need for productive work.

are there stairs in your house?

thankfully don't have roommates anymore. but yea, all the time.

There was a reason the rent was cheaper than anyone else was offering, they didn't need much to cover the expenses with some left over, but their actions made it hard for them to get a roommate.

but im thinking more the people who have significant others, or family, either their parents or their kids who could walk in from the time they get up to clean everything to the time they are clean and can close shit.

>there are actual poorfags that unironically buy walmart laptops and chromebooks as their main driver

>why is everyone on Sup Forums so concerned with how others spend their money?
you're such a an idiot

people giving you advice and ideas on how to save yourself some cash is not them trying to police you or keep you from making your own decisions. it's to keep you from making a mistake. the better question is why does everyone on the internet double down on their retardation when called out on it?
