minus-squareThe_v@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 months agoThe only reason I got a new laptop recently was I got it for decent price for its specs. A 20% better system for 15% cheaper than my 6 year old one… It penciled out for me. I spent the past year watching builds and prices. There is so much overpriced garbage on the market today.
minus-squareboonhet@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 months agoIt makes a tiny bit more sense with laptops imo since hinges and batteries and stuff wear down and it just won’t be nice to use after enough years. For desktop PC parts it better be a 50% uplift in some benchmark that’s relevant to me without also having to jump up in price to reach it
