I hate them too but I use one because it's like 10% of the cost in electricity compared to my gaming PC

it's a neccesary evil and the only things laptops do well

they are power efficient

ya but these arent shitty laptops theyre like averagoe ones like $400-$500 ones

The other one got a crack on the plastic but because my sis threw it once from the bed but otherwise it's working perfect

a 400 dollar laptop will crap out in a year based on the hardware IMO

only laptop i have is my xiaomi air

i have a couple desktops i use

And the third one looks kinda crap aesthetically wise due to easy scuffing but everything else still OK

300$ acer 400$ samsung 400$ toshiba

I got one for 450 that was normally like 600 and that laptop is already slowing down after a year

acer lasted like 6 years

samsung still kicking and does fine for office/browsing shit

toshiba same

i got a dvd drive from best buy a couple months ago it bragged about being silent but its loud as fuck and it cant burn cds for some reason

waste of $40

what are you buying

what brands

their selection is trash or at least the one next to me which is in a dying mall but as far as pc stuff goes they only have shitty razer products, sometimes a logitech or corsair mouse or keyboard, and the same steel series mice on clearence

>buying brand new DVD drives

flea markets sell DVD drives for like 3 bucks

no hardware at all other than sometimes a shitty 1060 and some amd shit for poor gamers

that explains why you get shit... your location sucks

USB portable ones before you think it's some big piece of shit for desktop

theres only three good things ive ever bought from best buy that have still lasted and i use daily

the main anchorage location here has been god tier in terms of selection because it serves the entire state of alaska, so it's comparable to that of a top 100 USA town in terms of size and selection

it's also a really successful location in terms of profits so they carry good shit

logitech mouse, corsair strafe rgb keyboard, and corsair void headset

>using gaming headsets

Mine always has a great selection, it's the only one in like 3-4 towns around so it's quite big and it's on a quite nice central location

I bet you don't even pay attention to the brand of the products you buy besides gaming accessories

i got a usb dvd drive but it crapped out after a year so i wanted to get an internal one to save usb port s and its shitty

i always buy brands i trust

I just get there and it has these little stands for cell phone makers

like 5 cashiers always on

my store has western digital and I trust that brand, I'd go chink for the right price

some fellas trying to sell you 100$ hdmi cables

mexico

the only things i havent checked were like the vga to dvi adapter i got and the 100ft of ethernet cable

yeah mexico

no
