>Oh I just got a MacBook because it works, I don't need to build that desktop anymore.
>he proceeds to try to game on it and uses it to "program HTML" along with making mix tapes
I don't understand normies
>>51590712
Don't give idiots tech support, they will impuls buy any kind of shit later on anyway because they saw some ad or deal.
You can waste your time by better means.
>>51590712
Craigslist is your friend
>>51592428
Most people just can't be bothered. Normies are lazy as fuck, even by NEET /g/ user standards.
>>51590712
>Can you recommend me a $300 gaming laptop
No.
>>51590712
$300 depends on how long they're willing to wait. I got my ROG for $300.
>>51592428
give us his mixtapes is it fire?
Normie here.
>>51593162 is right on the nose about this. The process seems a bit daunting when you look over at the shiny displays and see something...well, shiny. And it's right there.
>hey anon you're pretty knowledgeable
>can you try install Viber on my computer? xD
>what the fuck is Viber?
>come on don't play games anon
>you spend infront the computer all the time, surely you must know what Viber is. xD
I don't even know half the things that normies use these days.
>>51593958
ok parjeet
>>51594007
what makes you think I'm an indian?
>>51593958
I never heard of that shit till now
>>51593958
Normie here again. What the fuck is Viber?
>>51594042
it does messages, and I think voice calls
>>51594091
Yet another voice chat program? Aren't there enough of those?
>>51590712
>>51593460
You can actually play 1000s of good games on a $300 laptop.
>gaming
>laptop
Choose one
If you have an old but decent gpu, 300 bucks might get you a mobo and CPU for it.
Viber is an app, right? Just run it in bluestacks
>>51590712
...no one actually says this right?
Jesus.
>>51594194
Dude you can't seriously tell me though that a 980m for gaming isn't sufficient.
They exist. They're just not 300 fucking dollars.
>>51594194
bro, do you even scrap yard wars?
>>51594792
MSI recently brought out a laptop with two DESKTOP 980's in there. No 980m, this was two desktop chips in SLI. That's without doubt a gaming laptop.
>GAMES MEANS HARDCORE MOUNTAIN DREW 3D GRAFIXX
>>51594316
You can only play old games on a $300 laptop and I'm sure that a normie expects it to run modern games from a "gaming" laptop.
>>51594171
Yes, I know. But they don't want to hear about any great indie games or emulation of old SNES and pre days games. So my answer to the question of whether I can recommend them a $300 gaming laptop is no.
>>51590712
>"God my PC is so slow I need a new one for gaming but I don't have enough money to get a decent one yet."

>>51595826
>Offer to build a computer for them for like 150€
>Follow logical increments build for like 1200€
>???
>Profit

It's more of a messaging program
Think of it as whatsapp but with way more features and for free
>>51592428
>mixtape
sure sounds nigger in here
>>51595981
I picked him parts for 1200 but in the end he just bought a prebuild one because reasons.
>>51590712
"No."
I cannot recommend you get a $300 laptop for gaming.
case where you don't want to be a dick
>Yes, I do. My rate is $xx an hour.
>Well that's going to be quite hard for you, isn't it!
>I cannot, such a product doesn't really exist, unless you mean flash or old games
case where you don't care
>nope fuck off
>good luck, fuck off
>nope fuck off
that was hard
>b-but then they will think I'm not good with technology!
mission accomplished
>>51593958
>help me install a program on my computer
Fucking. Google.
Normie, here the process of buying all the PC parts was incredibly nerve-wracking, but my friend's going to help me build. I really there's a kind of hump that has to passed to become a more discerning buyer able to put down the appeal of ready-made shiny.
>>51592428
Is it good?
The mixtapes?
>>51590712
Tell him just a build a PC, it'll game around the level of a current console
