Hey PC (gamers) Nerds, question

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

what would you get? Going to be used for gaming obviously. Just wondering if the drop in GPU performance is worth the extra storage space. Adding an extra TB in SSD into the more expensive one probably would add another $150-$200.

Option A - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 - 1TB Hard Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive -

$1399

Option B - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 - 512GB Solid State Drive -

$1999

I usually get cheap laptops and plan on replacing them every 2 / 3 years.

That GPU is only $350. Have you looked into building this yourself?

Have not. Not a bad idea. I’ve built many towers but never a laptop.

Nevermind, I didn't realize this was a laptop. I've never built anything but have been putting together parts on pcpartpicker for my new desktop.

I would be all over that but I am not sure our ridiculous HIPA VPN would work on a chrome book. Gave do download all kinds of crap.

After college all I use laptops for is for surfing the web, porn, fantasy sports, and streaming stuff while I bathe myself.

The smart phone has killed my usage of laptops.

Google is transitioning staff away from Laptop and Tablet hardware. Good luck with that.

Anyone want to pwn tonight?

Build yourself. I just built this for around $1200.

Looks amazing, and performance is better than the crap they throw together in a factory.

I can help you with your build if you want, and tell you where to get the best deals.

So he won't be able to buy the pixel or whatever they call it now? I'm sure Samsung makes more chromebooks than anyone.

Also, dont get the i7. Get the i5 9600k and put a water cooler on it. You can easily get it to around 5GHz, and with 6 cores you are getting awesome performance. And you are saving a ton of money. They are like $200 right now at Microcenter.

He's talking about a laptop. Your build is pretty sweet though.

 

[andrewrayhons]

Err. Dont get a laptop, lol. Gaming laptops have overheating issues, and you have to end up spending a fortune on the repairs. Just get a Lenovo P50, you'll save a bunch of money, and get a beefy laptop you can game on. I have one, and it can handle anything I throw at it.

 

[andrewrayhons]

Also, no need for non SSD drives. Go for 1TB SSD and you will be fine.

What is your CS:GO rank? Maybe sell some skins to supplement the cost of the new box?
