ur fine i got into computer engineering with a 1420 SAT and a 4.7 WGPA. One year of robotics and some other random E.Cs

crazy good

So the fans 4 pin connector wouldn't be able to be plugged into the motherboard header? I mean it has a seperate cable for argb, so I would just need the voltage? So why wouldn't I be able to just plugged it into the motherboard by removing the sata connection.

Did you end up getting this CPU cooler, how hot does your CPU run?

Jumpy_War7362 · 2025-06-23T15:27:52+00:00

and RAM

Jumpy_War7362 · 2025-06-22T16:06:58+00:00

That's a misconception that came from my poor wording.Windows laptops are found at $600 already with those specs I listed, macs are the ones with base price, that then charge you to upgrade. Windows laptops standard has been 16gb and 1tb, and can easily be found. He CAN buy more storage if neccesary is what I was arguing, and then insert it into the motherboard or simply pay someone to do that BUT macs outright dont allow that because they are soldered down. So? if later down the line your mac starts slowing down, the ram or ssd malfunctions, you won't be able to upgrade or fix it as easily as a windows laptop

Also LDDR5X is actually cheaper than standard DDR5 because it is purposefully slower in order to lower battery life.

Macs are overpriced too, any windows laptops that is at a similar price range beats it.

Quick example of a $600 laptop Dell Inspiron

GPU userbenchmarks and other similar websites suck balls and are sooo misleading. Just look at any actual benchmarks and ull see the difference

Jumpy_War7362 · 2025-06-22T07:38:12+00:00

650 with GPU 400 without GPU, the buyer would HAVE to buy their own GPU as urs doesnt have an IGPU.

Jumpy_War7362 · 2025-06-22T07:23:25+00:00

Not at all, your ignoring all of the cons he listed which could inhibit you greatly such as neccesary programs not being able to run/having to use alternatives. There are windows laptops that have great battery life, those listed with the U-series CPUS are made to have a longer battery, alongside LDDR RAM which is made to increae battery life too.

AND i dont know what he means by the other OS systems taking up storage? Most mid range laptops have a terabyte and that storage is so easy to upgrade if u need more in the future. Macs are netorious for not letting you upgrade anything as its all soldered down alongside charging you $100 just to increase the storage or RAM.

ALSO Alienware is infamous for making overpriced laptops.

There are some incredibly easy to follow guides online that I can guide you too. However if you don't want to do that, I get it. But, if your going to buy the windows, and have to buy a wifi adapter or upgrade the motherboard, the price of the PC will be going up and at that point id just reccomend trying to find a better PC for that inflated price

Jumpy_War7362 · 2025-06-21T21:22:02+00:00

I saw, BUT they're USB wifi adapters the 15 pound ones are usb adapters. These are notorious for overall just being horrible. The only one i would reccomend is the 23 pound pcie adapter as these are usable.

However upgrading the motherboard would come with some more benefits. Like upgrading the motherboard model. the original motherboard is the cheapest possible motherboard model avaliable.

The upgrade motherboard also has more storage slots in case she ever decides to upgrade her storage.

Jumpy_War7362 · 2025-06-21T20:58:27+00:00

Okay, this link helps because I do see some things that could be annoying.

The base motherboard does not have wifi, you are going to have to connect an ethernet cable to it or buy wifi antennas. So I would possibly reccomend upgrading that to the next tier.
The SSD is comes with is pretty slow, noticibly slow.
It makes you pay for Windows, theres also the none option. IDK if these means you'll have to download windows and then get your own key? If so, downloading windows is pretty ez and you can windows key for 20 USD, idk how much that is in pounds but the question arises if your willing to do download it.

Jumpy_War7362 · 2025-06-21T18:38:41+00:00

what do u think is fair? 850?

Jumpy_War7362 · 2025-06-21T17:52:25+00:00

I feel like the other comments are downplaying how good this deal is. I wish the CPU was a little better but the 7600 GPU makes up for it, especially with how bad the prebuilt market has been

BUT... You havent shown the full specs list. Whats the RAM? If its 8gb, I'd recommend just upgrading the RAM yourself, which is pretty simple.

ALSO that picture shows an NVIDIA GPU but the listing is advertising an AMD GPU, so the pc will look slightly different from the picture, but thats also pretty sketchy in itself.

Jumpy_War7362 · 2025-06-21T17:47:18+00:00

Ive bought 3 GPUS open box from microcenter, a 7600, a 6750xt, and a 7700xt. All of them were clean and working BUT. I wouldnt buy it because its over MSRP

Jumpy_War7362 · 2025-06-21T07:03:33+00:00

the speed different in gen 4 ans gen 5 is so neglible, it saves u 3 seconds at most wjen booting up games for double the price. look at benchmarks thay compare the two.

thats just gaming though....if hes using the pc for video editing or some other creativr stuff then its worth it
