I got a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 pro for about $750 a year ago and now the same spec sells for $600. I think i could’ve got a better deal last year but it was pretty much an impulse buy for me. How does your laptop compare to current prices?

    Dell Inspiron 2n1 7590 series, 16gb ram, 4k screen ~1200$, 4 years, ago; hasn’t let me down yet. It is quiet and runs itself + external monitor easily, as well as some statistical programs… couldn’t find a similar product easily on the internet today, refurbished looks like selling ~700$ with similar specs. 10/10 no buyer’s remorse. Invest in a good laptop. (Battery life has degraded over time for sure though)

    My last laptop was the Ideapad which had GTX 1050 graphics. Lasted me about 3 years before newer games were struggling to play, so bought a Acer Nitro 5 with a GTX 1650, which is still a relatively budget laptop compared to the GTX 4x card laptops available, but should last maybe 2 years.

    my dell xps 15 9500’s physical build is holding up superbly, as is its performance, but a 1650ti isn’t really cutting it anymore and it’s outperformed by laptops costing half its price in 2020

    I have a Razer Blade V6 2017 model which i bought back in 2019, paid $1600 CAD. It has the gtx 1060 8gb version. Its been great, it can run lots of my favourite games with no issues. Apex, Cs2, World of Warships, all on med to high settings. Only thing is I dont use it as a laptop, its like a desktop now. The quality is very good. If I were to buy another gaming laptop I would probably buy a Razer again, but their prices are just too high rn for me.
