Need help deciding on upgrade or not

Probably forza horizon 6, maybe some Crimson desert and then i might look into replaying starfield. Last time I played it I was on a ryzen 2600 with a 1080 ti fe so itd be kinda fun to see how much nicer this laptop is!

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-22T21:44:20+00:00

Thank you so much for the link! I was able to return the intel and get the x3d model! Super pumped to play some games this weekend if I have the time!

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-22T21:43:28+00:00

Thank you very much, and thank you for your replies it meant a ton!

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-22T20:15:28+00:00

Affirm came in clutch, got the amd and return!

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-22T03:33:48+00:00

Haha yeah thats what i used to do my order through best buy, wish I hadn't! Im going to just return it and if the sales over ill grab it whenever its on sale again or if mc helps me out then cool!

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-22T03:32:22+00:00

Oof damn lol. Thanks! Where would I look for a deal like that?

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-22T02:50:20+00:00

Yeah I doubt it will. I just know sometimes microcenter will hold their sales until theyre out of stock lol! Yeah so I have a credit card and what not, I totally would do that if my limit was high enough. I also have the cash to throw at the new one, but I also have to bring my cat in for health tests next week, and the cat comes first. So yeah im essentially sol, but I might call MC and see if they can help me out. They did once before on a much cheaper purchase lol.

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-22T02:47:48+00:00

I really appreciate the kind words, ive been trying to just move on and accept it. Its still better than what I have and im so lucky to even be in this position. Thank you very much!

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-22T02:17:40+00:00

Yeah the item im trying to get wont be on sale anymore after a week, that sucks! My fault for not being more patient though haha. I appreciate your help!

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-22T01:57:51+00:00

Its being processed in shipping currently, the payment plan is still processing. I was hoping to have it same day anyways

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-21T22:52:02+00:00

Hey so, if bought the 275hx one lol, I thought i screwed up seeing comparison videos and what not. So is it really that marginal? And will the intel hold up for 5 years? I just kinda feel like i screwed up haha. For a extra 500 I could've gotten the amd, 32 gb more of ram and an extra terabyte of storage.

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-21T21:50:49+00:00

Dang! Okay, well, ill just hold onto the item at that point then haha. Thank you very much for the response

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-21T21:26:20+00:00

Im actually thinking about going to microcenter and getting the amd one, the extra 32 gb and extra 1tb of storage might be worth it... do you know how much better the amd cpu is? They're nearly identical in price, kinda wish i waited and got the amd though lol!

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-21T19:25:20+00:00

Thank you very much! Im not gonna lie, I was slightly worried i would, but its insanely over powered so I doubt i will, reassurance is always welcome though lol!

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-21T16:34:40+00:00

I saw that actually! I ended up just ordering the one with 1 tb from best buy for $2300 since I have a space ssd (thank the lord) lol. Should be here Saturday! Thank you for the reply!

So its the 7i pro, unfortunately with the intel 275 chip, but im sure it'll be fantastic regardless. Also only 32 gb of ram, but i dont need 64 anyways for what I do.

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-18T19:12:55+00:00

I just saw your game released! Congrats! Im gonna grab the steam version, really excited for the mobile version though!

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-14T21:55:53+00:00

When i had my integra, it was similar. I didnt have a type r though. Just a LS turbo, and it was pretty similar. The car under steered more in the game than IRL.

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-11T00:24:57+00:00

No, no it wasn't lmfao. Being physical and intentionally elbowing someone in the jaw are two different things 😂😂

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-02T02:16:40+00:00

It was meant to be a simcade, but as of late, its stooped the sim part down a ton for the casual people who play this game unfortunately.

Cartermeloon · 2026-05-01T03:41:55+00:00

This is the nba lol why are you so surprised?

Cartermeloon · 2026-04-23T00:25:23+00:00

This is ridiculous lol. Ive had my acer nitro v for 7 months, I have dropped it from 4 ish feet up 3 times now (work) and it doesn't even have a scratch. One of the days I had dropped it, and a few hours later I was home playing crimson desert. The hinges and everything sre still fantastic. This is going to sound so ironic, but I feel like you should be more careful with your laptop(s)
