You Can Buy 9 Great Gaming Laptops For The Cost Of Cheapest Car
I wanted to make a gaming laptop charity for poor kids, and when I tell people this many people say that gaming laptops are "too expensive" for a charity, here is why I disagree.


The worlds cheapest new car is the Nissan Versa, which cost $17,190

The PS5Pro has a GPU that is said to be equivalent to the desktop RTX 4070, The laptop RTX 4080 is considered to be equivalent to the desktop RTX 4070

The cheapest laptop with a RTX 4080 that's fully in stock is the laptop below, which cost $1820

https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-AORUS-17H-1920x1080-BXF-74US554SH/dp/B0BSR8959Z


You can buy 9 of these laptops for the price of the cheapest car!

I want you to think back to every car you've ever seen in your life, every car you've seen on TV, in the street, etc.

Now multiply that by 9.....that's how many gaming laptops we could have!

How many cars are on the road is a nonsequiter to how much people are willing to spend on luxuries for children who aren't even their own. People need their cars for a variety of reasons. They don't need to donate to charity, so that's money in the sinkhole.

Plus if you really wanted to help poor needy children with playing video games you could buy them an Acer Aspire Go for $250[store.acer.com] for their schoolwork, a Playstation 5 for $500 (the Pro doesn't play anything the base model can't), a Nintendo Switch for $300 and then have enough cash left over for 11 full $70 M.S.R.P. games for the price of the laptop (before taxes, which are going to be about the same for a laptop anyway).

I play Fallout 4, on my new 4 month old Walmart 4050 HP Victus Laptop, Cost 600$.
Adding Lossless Scaling, it's 99FPS Ultra Settings on a 10 year old game, Amazing.

Yes people game on entry lvl & low end graphic cards, AKA 4050/4060 or "5050" RTX.

1080p gaming with be a thing all the way till 6060 Cards, & even then it'll will be 1440p
laptop screens, which works just as well if not more optimal vs 4k screen of that size.

I feel like it would be cheaper to make an org, contact your parts manufacturers about providing cheap parts, then build the PCs yourself

Also why

I'm not understanding what the cheapest priced car has to do with anything. And the beauty of PC gaming is that you are not limited to the current generation of games. A very cheap laptop with integrated graphics today is quite capable of playing most older games just fine at reasonable settings. If the poor kids can't have fun playing the gazillion older titles that will run just fine on lower end laptops, oh well...
