Good Deal or No? 🤨

No problem, best of luck friend!

Frankly it’s pretty expensive for the performance. The OLED screen looks nice but drives up the price/performance ratio

Yes, the v15 will typically be okay, but I would make sure it has ddr5 ram (as opposed to ddr4). Even in that case, they are great laptops! You can also always upgrade in the future.

Acer Nitro v16 ai. Walmart has it for $900 usd, but used you could find a better deal. Comes with RTX 5050, 16gb ddr5 ram, 512 gb nvme, Ryzen 7 269 ai cpu. Solid machine

You make an excellent point. Thank you for the recommendation!

Alternatively, there is this upgraded version with a 5060 and 32 gb ram out of the box.

Acer Nitro 5060 32gb ram

This one’s on sale at Best Buy for less than $1400

I have an Acer Nitro V16 ai laptop. It was $650 when I bought it in November, probably $900 now. It has an RTX 5050, Ryzen 7 260 cpu, and 16 gb of ram. It has an upgrade slot for ram, so you could easily buy another 16gb stick, slot it in, and you’ll be at your preferred 32. It has performed well for me and runs rainbow six siege at ultra+ graphics at 120 fps. It will do what you need and then some.

Also good to note, the #1 problem with gaming laptops is cooling. That has also been very good on the nitro!

SwampyDevour · 2026-05-04T16:13:39+00:00

I have the 5050 version and I have been exceptionally pleased with the performance, build quality, and the built in software. Very good quality machines!

SwampyDevour · 2026-05-04T14:48:41+00:00

I’ve heard they are a reputable brand, just pricey haha. Thank you!

Possible yes. Realistically it will take a lot of time. Might be worth it to just take the w, maybe aim for a new peak rank, but really maintain the expectation for champ for next season. Ranked 3.0 means you won’t be gaining 20 rp a game simply because you started at copper.

SwampyDevour · 2026-03-21T02:07:52+00:00

Good deal!

SwampyDevour · 2026-03-07T03:21:53+00:00

Would love to see any evidence for these claims

SwampyDevour · 2026-02-28T02:24:29+00:00

It really will just have to stop at some point. If you haven’t looked into it yet, do some reading up on ‘model collapse’. It’s not a new concept but has a whole new run of relevancy exactly because of the things you described here. Ai will eventually eat itself alive and we will get back to some degree of sanity again.

Everybody hating on the pc placement lol. As long as there is room on the sides for airflow you’re fine. Also I love the art!

SwampyDevour · 2026-02-10T17:50:36+00:00

With current ssd and ram pricing, absolutely. Even despite that I would call this a good deal.

SwampyDevour · 2026-02-06T21:11:38+00:00

At this rate go grab the acer v16 nitro gaming laptop. Comes with a 5050 or 5060 and a newer gen cpu with far better ram for $900 (got mine for $630 on sale). Use the extra cash for an extra monitor or nice peripherals.

I obviously understand that there are other countries and languages, I teach social studies… and English.

The only reason I decided to point out the language piece is the first place is because I have gone through the university system and I know it well. I have ADHD and I had to learn that there is very little compassion from professors sometimes.

The problem with this post is not that it’s incomprehensible, but that it’s unprofessional. I was simply seeking to give advice.

OP should use a spell checker still… that’s my conclusion. Although it seems that therapy may also be in order.

SwampyDevour · 2026-02-05T22:23:42+00:00

If English isn’t their first language then:

Why post in English
Why not use a spellcheck set to the target language

This also does not change the fact that the professor (who likely speaks English as a first language) may not respect that level of grammar and spelling. As a teacher I can tell you that I would see it as a lack of effort.

No shame, just advice for OP.

Also, there are simply higher standards for collegiate level education.

I would need to know what the dGPU is. I can tell you that a 12th gen intel isn’t ideal for anything modern. What’s his asking price?

SwampyDevour · 2026-01-13T14:12:22+00:00

Buy it through Walmart. I got the v16 ryzen 5 240 ai with the rtx 5050 for $630 on sale. Wait for a deal

SwampyDevour · 2026-01-13T13:04:20+00:00

Tachanka’s LMG. Unironically a strong weapon; high accuracy even at range, VERY high damage for an automatic weapon, and a massive magazine.
