Whatever you do, don't buy from Newegg. I have an Asus laptop that I purchased for $220. It's been great so far. Better than my Toshiba was.

What beef do you have with newegg? I've never used them, but my buddy swears by them. He always gets his computers there, and he's a techie, which is why I recommended them.

Micro center is my favorite place. I don't do lap tops I'm a desktop kinda guy.
If you build your own you can have an awesome gaming rig that will be able to Olay for years. Durability is better also

I've had like 3 bad computers shipped to me from newegg. They were bad right out of the box. Then each one took months to get resolved. They have good prices sometimes, but if you get something you need to return you're fucked.

Oh ok. I guess my friend is lucky. Only thing he has ever had a problem with is a smart TV that stopped being able to connect to WiFi. Apparently its a common problem in that model though, so isn't even newegg's fault.

I have different experiences. My returns with Newegg have been quickly resolved and wasn't a lot of hassle involved. It's pretty much the only place I shop for computer parts as well. Been using them for a decade probably.

No way dude. I wish I could build another computer but mine is just fine. Hell all I need is an updated graphics card for another 2 years of future proof.
For 600 or less you should be able to build SOMETHING, that is better than ones pre built, and has the ability to run quite a few games.
Its fun too! Shroomism can help. He helped me pick out the parts and trouble shoot my PC. Hes a nice ass dude

Build your own so you can splurge on a good CPU and an SSD.

They're amazing actually. If you're looking for large storage, yes HDD are still the go to master. But if you're hosting servers or anything that's memory write/read intensive(which is a LOT of things) you need an SSD.

How about six kilos of kratom? That will last a while. If you find you cant do your email with the kratom just take more it will eventually work
