I need a laptop. Gonna probably end up financing one so I can concentrate my immediate funds on other things. I'm thinking more of going mid tier gaming for the hell of it instead of getting a mid tier workstation laptop. Any of yall have any recommendations on who to go thru. I'm trying to stay around 2k


Don't finance a gaming laptop breh

So I should use one of my credit cards and basically pay 20% financing on it in the end?:facepalm:
Nahhh
Dell and Amazon are offering me 12mos financing at 0% in which I plan on paying it off in 12 mos. Like I said, this allows me to save $400+ in finance charges or put that immediate cash elsewhere...


Like on my new camera:scheme:

hell naw, the 3070 coming out the 29th and is the same price they gonna have stock for those that's why they delayed the launch

Mathematically speaking.. The only card you should be getting is 3080. The price per cudacore is what you should be looking at. Save another $200 and get the best deal.

Good looks yall

But yeah I'm doing to do some above 2k gaming

It's my job, I work in the aviation field.

I'm not getting an iPad, I have zero apple products and I prefer commonalities amongst my electronics. I'm just gonna grasp an Alienware from Dell. They are giving me 30% off on top of any black Friday deals thru my company.

Your job doesn't provide you a company laptop?:picard:


At one point i had a gaming laptop, Samsung galaxy tab and a Apple ipad..The only 1 i still have is the ipad.. Went with a gaming pc.

I don't buy anything for work. They give everyone a laptop for work
