Life is hard. Rise to the challenges for cheap or pay others handsomely to do it for you.

Yeah it’s not that hard, it only took me almost 4 years of paralysis analysis before I finally ordered my stuff and researched how to do all the things

There’s a sub for prebuilts, this isn’t it

This advice is pretty outdated anyway. It used to be you would only get a good deal if you built it yourself. Now there are pre-builts that are upgradable for a competitive price.

build it yourself or face the consequences

Almost every pre-built is either too expensive (where it would be cheaper to built it yourself) or something is crap and has bloatwere

It’s an especially shit advice when you specifically need a laptop, why the fuck would I build PC if I need a good portable solution

Build- your- own- laptops was something i saw like a decade back… did that trend ever catch on? I can’t recall the website (similar to newegg) that offered the chassis and components…. anyone know? Framework isn’t it.

It actually depends on the situation.
You need portability and travel frequently? Get a laptop.
You found a really good deal on a prebuilt? Just grab it.
You want to get a new PC? Pick your parts, build it yourself or let someone build it for you.

You just gotta know what you’re looking at.
A better friend who knows how to build computers and follow price trends does both.
I do agree with other sentiments, you can get a banger deal for a prebuilt sometimes.
Also good to know a handful of boutique builders like cyberpower for more research.
