Video cards are the problem. Prebuilts with 3080s are running 3 racks


For college I'll get him a MacBook or desktop tho. This laptop should be Gucci for him for a minute.

He got a 3070, that laptop will be good for 3 yrs, maybe 5.

I got my 2080 ti in summer 2019 and now I'm playing new games at medium to high settings 4k.

Hope your son enjoys it, you the father of the year :salute:

Nah, saved a yard and got this one. Bigger screen, better cooling, camera (no camera on the Asus... Weird) , thunderbolt port since it's Intel. The keys were better on this joint than the Asus and it had a number pad.

Acer Predator Helios 300 PH317-55-743T 17.3" Gaming Laptop Computer Platinum Collection - Black; Intel Core i7 11th Gen - Micro Center

Tried to talk him out of the laptop but he was hell bent on it :hubie:

Got 15 days if he wants a desktop built instead but he's adamant on a laptop. Return policy ends on the 6th :hubie:

Tellin him tomorrow don't come back to me until college. He in 9th grade now so :yeshrug:
that laptop will definitely be top tier for 4 more years til college
