I’m not surprised; I was killing some time at Micro Center yesterday and couldn’t believe how high the prices were. Shelves were pretty much completely full. I found better deals over in the laptops for GPUs. At least with that purchase you get a whole computer.
I found better deals over in the laptops for GPUs.
Even that isn’t a good deal. Laptop GPUs are a lot weaker than their desktop counterparts, the 4070 (laptop edition) is LITERALLY a 4060 desktop edition. They’re misleading consumers into buying something worse than they’re expecting, and the prices are still outrageous for the new generation.
It’s really shitty they are doing this. When desktops are providing way better price to performance ratio, they are trying to create the illusion that you can still get comparable performance with a slight increase in price, when in reality you are sacrificing a substantial amount of performance for mobility.
If they made this part clear, I don’t think there would be any appreciable decrease in laptop sales too.
Do you think anyone opts to buy a laptop when they have no absolute need for mobility?
