I don’t think I have cared about highest settings in my whole life. I don’t want bottom of the barrel (I was there with my college laptop 20 years ago), but have always been a more mid range kind of person with small exceptions here and there as budget allowed (3k on a pc is bonkers to me).

I dunno about you, but I don’t think a $50 laptop is gonna play most semi-modern games. For productivity or content consumption? Sure, not gonna be an issue with enough ram and a de-bloated OS.

I was the middle person for a while and yes it totally takes the fun away from building the pc to playing on it because I’m so worried about fps and temps and bs. I’m gonna sell my pc and build one that fits my use case and is what I need instead of what I think I need.

My PC is 10 years old, bought him 6 years ago for $100. I added some hardware, but all in all it costed less then $500 in 10 years.

I’ll be the person to say nobody needs a high powered PC. It’s about wanting, like every other hobby.
There are plenty of good games out there that run fine on potatoes. It’s whether you need that big stinky graphics card or not

For those of you experiencing perfection, except for that “tiny bit of lag” – please go to your advanced power management and make sure PCIE power saving is set to off. SEeya tonight
