a quick search told me that this thing's GPU (8060s) is comparable to a 4070
from what i can tell, a 4070 alone is ~$750. this thing is apparently $799 for the CPU+GPU+RAM+motherboard all soldered together ($300 more for case+PSU+SSD)
if the CPU+RAM+motherboard are costing me $50, i don't really care if i have to throw them out along with the GPU
- lifty 2y agoI think it's equivalent to a laptop 4070, not to a desktop one.
- harrison_clarke 2y agowell, that's a hostile naming scheme from the specs, a mobile 4070 looks like its basically a 4060 ti, underclocked to ~60%
- dangus 2y agoIt's a hostile naming scheme but unfortunately that's how mobile GPUs have worked since the dawn of time.
- harrison_clarke 2y agoi think the thing that got me was that people wrote articles comparing this thing to a laptop GPU, and i didn't read far enough to notice. normally, people compare desktop stuff to desktop stuff, and laptop stuff to laptop stuff i haven't bought a laptop gpu since ~2008. from what i remember, they used to at least put "mobility" in the name, or throw and 'm' after the number, or something
