You do know how stimulus works right? Your country will be put in more dept and need longer to repay it back. Raising of taxes or some other way will be required.

They don't pay it back, they kick it down the line for others to deal with later. Though later is becoming sooner, at this rate.

We should accelerate collapse anyway. The only way to fix what's wrong is to rebuild from ruins.

That's only viable if the majority of people realize what's wrong and have the correct solution to it. Do you REALLY think that's how it is? I don't.

Digging a hole deeper to try escape. Well it's logical to some few I guess.

I personally hate owing money, loans and mortgages, etc. I don't even have a credit card. If I owe someone else something, I don't consider it actually mine yet. Otherwise interest just increases upon it, ending up owing more in the long run.

How about if you could just not pay it back, and let your kids or grandkids do it, regardless of if they like it or not? For bonus points, you don't even need to sit them down and tell them about the debt that you stuck them with, good times!

Yep. You are correct. But not today, or tomorrow. Given the knowledge that's freely available on what our debt is, you'd think people would be less inclined to clamor for lockdowns, businesses being unable to open/operate at 100% capacity, and stimulus checks. But then again...if they were thinking that way, I suppose we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

I never recommend gaming Laptops to people, eventually they expire and get too old, and you won't be able to salvage it for reuse in 10 years when it becomes obsolete.

I'd recommend a gaming PC.

[Azza ☠]

As for the laptop, do your research and consider is it a want or a need. You will probably use it in a daily basis, but does what you have already need replacement?

Then consider what do you need the laptop for - gaming or work purpose, etc?

You ideally want a solid state drive and high-end graphics card in it. Laptops don't have much upgrade path and future proofing compared to a desktop, so ensure you get a good CPU too.

Should is selective, as it also depends on what you are getting and why.

We currently have the new AMD Zen 3 CPU and Nvidia RTX 30xx series tech coming out. Intel will be soon too with the 11th Gen. I would suggest holding back a bit at the current time, but keeping an eye on it.

Near the end of the year, you have new tech launches and then again in 2021 some will be yet to come. It's a bit early on the purchasing right now, as it will be replaced with a newer gen most likely for similar or slightly higher costs. You could also get a discount on the older gen, if desired.

I had a laptop fail not much you can do for replacement parts and it was over a year old and hardly ever used. You are lucky if it is one of two things storage drive fail or bad ram. This one had bad ram so an easy fix.

I bought all in one PC for deskstop failed within five days same deal as laptop not much you can do parts wise. Returned for a full refund.

Both Lonovo products.

Customs desktops are better even with pre-builds still the same as a home builds easy to swap everything in and out. Yeah gaming PC for longevity and ease for replacement parts.

yearly paycheck? what's that? you only get paid once a year?

no i don't have a job yet lol

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

and for laptop you always have to consider if the smaller size is really gonna make a difference , too often I've seen peoples wanting a laptop and then just having the thing sit on a computer desk all the time.

If you're not using the portability very much or at all , don't buy a laptop.

Nah I don't think so.

Money is a game of lets pretend. I pretend this piece of paper is worth something and so does the person who is giving or receiving it. The world banks will just play lets pretend as usual.

Oh, it's not coming on debt...

$3k for gaming rig? Enjoy the Miller High Life - good for you!

I'm still waiting for a 2nd stimulus check and eating canned beans.

You do know how stimulus works right? Your country will be put in more dept and need longer to repay it back. Raising of taxes or some other way will be required.

It's similar to a helicopter fund. The idea being you spend it all back to them. You don't really get anything in the end. It's just the illusion of it.

stimulus checks exist on purpose: they are needed to make cash move to prevent economic activity from stopping.

if there was no checks at all, some companies would be closed just because of 1-5 year crisis, which is not a really long term.


also they help people who need money to buy necessary things like food and masks, so they have something to live on

Because if you spend $3,000 on a gaming laptop that will become obsolete in 2 years time. You could have just spent $3,000 on a quality desktop PC and simply upgrade the parts as needed.

Take for example the people who just spent a couple hundred dollars on the RTX 2000 series video cards and now the RTX 3000 series cards were released just this year. The RTX 2000 series was only just released in 2018. So anyone who bought a gaming laptop with an RTX 2000 series card basically wasted money because it's already outdated. Still a great card. I'm still using a 1080Ti and feel no reason to upgrade. But the point is that with a gaming desktop, you can upgrade it whenever you want. You can't do that with a gaming laptop. Even the gaming laptops that have modular GPUs. You can't upgrade the CPU or motherboard.

So you're basically stuck with what you get. So in a couple years time, your gaming laptop would be completely outdated.

You're not building it again in the sense you're replacing parts every 5-10 years to make it run better.

PC assembly is a lot like working on a car, it's going to need new parts every now and then if it's going to stay in top shape. You can't do that with Laptops, you're restricted to buying a new one and throwing the old one out.

Yes they could just buy a nice prebuild for 3k and swap out if and when needed.
