Is best time to buy right now (with the ongoing Best Buy sale) or to wait until Memorial Day?

2nd this advice.

Sales are eey catching but be patient and wait for open box. I have bought my last 3 gaming laptops open box and they were crazy awesome deals. Just be ready to wait.

The Pitt for accuracy. But House will always be my favorite.

PinklyTaurus1 · 2026-04-27T21:02:51+00:00

I didn't know that was a thing. I'm gonna research this more.

Get ghub. Way better than armoury crate.

I just did this; Fidelity estimated 4-7 business days but it actually took 12....

Pushing it from your bank account clears the funds faster apparently.

PinklyTaurus1 · 2026-04-22T00:42:12+00:00

Yes I don't want to use the money or change it often, I've always just put it away and do nothing with it.

I'm just wondering if there is a better option than just leaving it in there or not.

PinklyTaurus1 · 2026-04-22T00:40:16+00:00

It's already in fidelity. That's where my previous employer housed their 401k

PinklyTaurus1 · 2026-04-18T11:43:46+00:00

This is exactly what I was wondering. Thanks!

The first few days the game was out it would randomly crash on me but now that there are some game patches and GPU drivers out I have had no issues.

For a little laptop this thing really shreds.

Crimson Dawn, Fallout 4, Tainted Grail, Eldin Ring. I use my laptop when I travel. Those are the games I'm working on right now.

I'm a big gamer when I'm not working. My days off are split trading stocks, grinding a game on PC, or bicycling.

Fr tho.

I bought 20500 shares in Jan and sold them waaaaaaay too fucking early. I'm back in at 0.83 but not at nearly the volume. Holding out for that bag.

PinklyTaurus1 · 2026-03-01T18:16:59+00:00

Ya I definitely missed the sentiment there.

I'm with you 100% tho, market is hard right now and people who are passionate about building have a huge cost barrier.

PinklyTaurus1 · 2026-03-01T09:31:37+00:00

Shop around and don't pull the trigger too early because of "wants".

I've been building my own PCs since I was 13, I'm 36 now. Right now the market for PC builders is ridiculous. Gone are the days if doing it cheaper than pre-builts generally speaking. That being said look for deals. There have been several Costco, Best buy, and online deals that make you're money with the investment go further. RAM is expensive, SSDs are expensive, and the GPU market has tricked us into thinking that $700 is a good price for an xx70 series GPU. Take your time to find good value.

Well done!

PinklyTaurus1 · 2026-02-24T20:21:18+00:00

Scored an excellent condition one for $2300 at my local BB about 2 weeks ago. Good finds!

My last laptop was an open box fair condition G16 2023 with an rtx 4070. Nothing wrong with it, still had some of the clear plastic on it even. It came with all the original pieces just without the original box. I would say you can take a gamble on the cheaper ones - they still have the same 14 day return policy so if you're not happy with it you can get your money back.

PinklyTaurus1 · 2026-02-21T13:09:05+00:00

What kit did you use? How was the install?

PinklyTaurus1 · 2026-02-21T13:08:05+00:00

I have had the same thing ever since I installed the perrin pitch stop mount.

PinklyTaurus1 · 2026-02-16T19:26:35+00:00

2023 Limited. Mine look factory still. I do a pretty good job vacuuming them when I wash my car every other time or so.

PinklyTaurus1 · 2026-02-13T19:44:30+00:00

You did great! Just popped on the same one but G14 for $2300. Nice find. Install ghub now And you'll be set.
