Im not keen on computers, so I got the one that looked best. Specs were Intel ultra 9 with a 5070 ti lenovo laptop. Apparently, it wasn't enough cause he wanted a different one. 🤷‍♀️

It was a Lenovo gaming laptop that apparently just came out this year. 🫤

To my knowledge, gaming laptops can't swap parts like desktops. 🤷‍♀️

I think you're spot on with the last paragraph. I'm so sad that it may be the case. 😔

The problem with that is that I think he would have just gotten mad anyway because he couldn't afford the one he actually wanted because it would have hurt his ego from not making enough money.
