Former classmate posted a gofundme link on facebook for their friend whose $2000 laptop that "they had just finished paying off" was stolen from a car...which is extra frustrating because they also have to pay to fix the car windows and because it "took him a long time to pay off". They're trying to raise $3k.

call me cold hearted but...if you need to put a laptop on a payment plan, wtf are you doing buying a $2000 one? This isn't 2002...You can get perfectly serviceable brand new laptops for $500, and they can even play games (maybe not at max settings).

$2k laptops are basically luxury purchases these days...the new 14" macbook pro, high end gaming laptops, etc.. I'm struggling to think of any scenario where you'd need to own such a beastly machine for professional purposes, but simultaneously can't afford one.

You just learned an expensive lesson...don't replace it with another laptop you can't afford to lose.

They probably DID pay $500 for theirs...

Did you mean to post this in the “things that are making you happy” thread?

This is accurate. My giant dick doesn't fit into the "@HRoi sized pouch"

You're probably right, bur there is an outside chance that work as some sort of graphics designer or have need for Adobe products and work for a ****** company that won't supply the computer.

I run Adobe suite on my $2500 Sager laptop specced for gaming, and I'm glad I don't have to make do with a $500 laptop. Would suck.

Nah, I just don't think that's true.

Maybe not $500, but you can get a perfectly capable Adobe machine for $1000 or less. Above that price point you are either paying for exotic gaming hardware that doesn't really benefit a graphic designer, or you are paying for smaller size, better built, etc. (plus the Apple tax if you go that way).

And if you need more power than a $500-1000 laptop can offer, you probably shouldn't be using a laptop...
Also anyone who has a job that requires such hardware should be in an income bracket that doesn't require "a long time" to pay off a $2k laptop. If your time is so valuable that the speed boost of a MacBook pro 14 is worth it over a 13" Air, then you should be getting paid for it.

I think this is probably all true, but I also prefer desktops to laptops in general.

I dont know about a cheap machine with INDD though. I've done some 80-100+ pg spreads with graphics that would be not great on most lower end laptops.

Anyone who gets a face tattoo is, by definition, not a good recruit.

So I guess no Maori-Americans then, huh.
