ya i bought a laptop it was on sale (a good price but NOT a deal!!!)

it had a graphics card that wasn't a million years old and a processor that was not brand new but still modern enough, also it had ram and room for more ram and storage space

later i bought more ram and more storage space and made it all SSD instead of a SSD/HDD split

my goals when buying were "i want to be able to play games that were released five years ago" and "i want it to boot and launch programs fast" so i didn't worry too much about getting the bestest fastest shiniest stuff



thank you saoshyant for this sig!!!

every computer i have ever bought has been a 'small business computer' because you can usually get really good specs and hardware without the GAMERPC price and million blinky lights

They keep changing the numbers so they don't make sense, but don't buy a GeForce card with too high of a number or you will get launched into space.

If you're not gonna play computer games then get a mac, op. Make sure you get the apple care and bring the platinum amex or whatever gets you nice stuff if you spend too much money.

some people when getting a computer don't even ask the computer's name. they are so interested in megahertz and flippyflops they don't take the time to consider what it takes to be in a long term relationship. that requires trust, and commitment, and friendship. you're gonna have to open up and be vulnerable to your computer, op, if you want this marriage to work.

I make sure to give my computer hugs, and also have the anniversary date in my calendar. This year I've got them a voucher for an all expenses paid Spa day including exfoliation, cleansing of the coolant system, and professional case makeover!

Salesman: This computer has monitor, also a mouse and keyboard. It has cards and fans and lights and poo poo inside. It plays the game.

Me, a shrewd consumer: But does it have specs?

Salesman: (visibly sweating) drat, you weren't supposed to ask that. It has...three specs.

Me: I think we both know I could get four specs for that price.

Salesman: I'll throw in an anime tiddy mousepad and we'll forget this ever happened.

Me: Deal.

If you want to make sure it's a serious gaming rig check for a logo the size of a night light that glows and a water cooling system.
