That feels like a big difference? I think $500 is more than I've ever paid for a laptop.
- apothegm 1y agoThen you’re buying very low end laptops. For anyone who wants performance — be it for gaming or compiling or video production or 3D rendering or LLMs - $500 is a very low budget. (Also, I must be old because I can remember a time when even the cheapest laptop cost about $2k.)
- protimewaster 1y agoI dunno about that, at least for gaming. I routinely see older model, but still perfectly capable, gaming laptops for $550 or less, on deals websites like Slickdeals. And I know that's more than $500, but not by much. You can find deals on PC laptops much, much easier than Macs.
- bearjaws 1y agoIn enterprise terms $500 per laptop for a small group of employees is not even worth having a conversation over.
