Okay, so I got $2500 to either build a pc or cop this space gray MBP 15"

[JordanWearinThe45]

Yup. I got a late-2013 MBPr and I'm not upgrading this shyt until it's absolutely necessary. Nothing slow about it. Got all the ports I need. Superior magsafe port. No gimmicky touchbar

...If I could just upgrade the damn harddrive

All facts. Goat Mackbook. I'll ride with this one til the next gen real shyt

Or you could have an hour with Gianna Michaels and get yourself a Toshiba. The choice is yours

 

[Mad Good Dro]

You could build a state of the art gaming pc for 1500 and a Dell laptop and have money left over, And dell is probably the top laptop brand besides apple



Idk but to me spending over 1k on a laptop is ,


You're basically paying for the name and OS, and the thing is you can install ios onto a windows pc if you know what you're doing

its your money tho so

 

[Rice N Beans]

2500 you can build a good desktop and buy a good laptop.

I just want to be sold on the merits of PC gaming because I keep hearing how it's beyond anything I've ever experienced on consoles, and with my budget I could build a GOAT pc

If u got no experience building it from the ground up..its just a big headache.

Listen to this man

Depends on what your idea of a headache is. 10 or so years ago, maybe. Compatibility was the hardest part and took a decent amount of research. Now that there are sites like PCPartPicker, it's almost idiot proof now. You plug in what you want, turn on the compatibility filter and build it out without ever having to leave the site or buy and do trial and error with your parts. Once you get the parts in hand, it's pretty much only one way to put almost every part.

I would preface that it's more work, but anybody who actually considers themself a power user or gamer would do good to learn how. You can save a lot of money over the long run and get much better performance for your money.

not this man, sorry but unless this is your passion building PC are a headache even in 2017. Getting them LED light to work, squeezing shyt in tight spaces, shyt the cable management by itself is a headache, somtimes the parts be just slightly loose and your whole shyt wont work.. But a PC is the way to go for gaming cause you can stop paying attention to all MS minimal console updates and you still have access to XBOX live, i think thy even have cross play.

My brother crashed my audi a7 looking at new cars

Was thinking Maserati Ghibili but not many dealerships, the inside is amazing, but my gut says not a wise investment if something fukks up

I like the C63 AMG's but the leasing on them at least as advertised are only $300 a month less than an i8 I rather just get the i8

so maybe a C43 AMG but the inside at least pictures wise dont really appeal much to me already 1 my friends talkin about "C class a bytch car!" im over here "C43 aint the same thing you thinking of "

I feel like my mind isnt expanding to enough vehicles, recommend some $50-80k price range


I was actually considering keeping the A7 and driving it til wheels fell off and getting an i8 and driving that for bigger events/weekend fun my brother totaled it Birthday in July was going to maybe pull the trigger then it being totaled made me not want to get the i8 at all

fukk those cars. get u a 3/4 ton heavy duty truck and go off roading

Like I said, depending on what your definition of headaches is. It''s not for everyone, but unless you just go in raw (not reading how to install things or blindly buying shyt) the vast majority of people should be straight. I have friends and coworkers who built their first machines (and none of them qualify as "passionate") and the common theme from all of them is "I wish I knew it was that easy".

im just saying its not as easy as pc gamers make it seem, its not for casuals at all.. I have saw IT people struggle with building a pc, if you never done it before its a lot of patients.. especially knowing at some point you are going to have to go back in to troubleshoot something or replace a part. its a never ending job.. not like a console or a MBP, and to me thats a headache...... and ive built two computers

at what point in my post history do I come off as someone who would find that fun

anyway the M4 is currently my lead pick

I feel where you're coming from. I agree with most parts though I disagree partially with the last part.

It's a low intermediate task depending on what you're trying to do and DEFINITELY takes patience and a little bit of effort. But most folks spending $500+ for some parts aren't going to go in just throwing shyt together. Not to mention that there are only a handful of different components that will go into most computers.

Not sure what kind of machines you're building or for what purpose, but my custom bullt machines (with cheap/used hardware) are much more stable and have had many less issues (none) than my old off the shelf machines preassembled by someone else (Dell, Acer). I literally only open my machines to open them to dust them out.

Related to your troubleshootung point, the only reason I even started building computers in the first place is because when I had a Dell, anytime something went wrong with the hardware, I'd have to call customer service and they'd have a foreign person that barely spoke English troubleshoot (read a script) over the phone and basically make me unassemble and reassemble the computer to see what the issue was. They used cheap ass parts during this time and it was always something breaking down. It got to the point where I could tell what the issue was just by their script.

Once again, I'll stress that it's not for everyone, but it's not impossible and anybody who's serious about PC gaming (which was the topic of the thread) would do himself a disservice by not building a machine with how fast computer parts change and improve.

do me a favor and go to your local ram dealership and test drive a diesel 2500 ram truck. u might like it

anyone buying a mac clearly doesn't know anything about computer specs. My laptop was half the price with specs that would take a hot steaming shyt on the MBP. I installed an extra 8gb of ram from my old laptop and installed it onto my new laptop. it had an extra slot for another HD and I put a 2TB harddrive in there. I have total of 5 plus 256 SSD.

My laptop is a year old and still top of the line. my grapics card is GTX980, thats the only thing that'll become obsolete in a year or 2 because I can't solder a new card to the motherboard, the 10-- series are much larger than any card before it.

do yourself a favor, go on amazon and compare the stats of an MSI, Asus, Thunderobot and then an MBP. People don't even know what kind of laptop mine is but just at first glance you know its playing no games (no pun). MBP is a bmw, everyone knows the brand, but an gaming laptop is like Maserati. She may not know the brand, but just looking at it, she knows she better not even touch it. MBP people just hop on your shyt and start checking their FB.

IF thats what he wants to do thats true, I was speaking from the standpoint that he was just looking for pros and cons of one or the other.. I have a MBP and a built pc so I know that i never troubleshoot my macbook but my PC tends to act funny, not for no reason other than I upgraded the card and now I need to upgrade the power supply too.. thats seemingly simple fix can be alot for someone that isnt good at troubleshooting.. so I am not saying you are wrong just wanted him to know that it isnt as simple as plug and play

Says the a$$hole who stays on here promoting XBox and Microsoft. Somebody should have pushed your mother down some stairs when she was pregnant with your ass, you ultra effeminate fukk nikka. Now go be a good militant and leave us be.

I already offered him a fade since he's a few hours away. He got scared, mentioned he has a gun and put me on ignore. Dudes a total Internet gangster/loser
