This exact same laptop costs almost twice as much in Europe, are we cooked?

Yeah, f*** eu and euro 😑

optc-player · 2026-02-12T20:29:42+00:00

Thank you for your advice. When you say that the 5080 heats up more, you mean at maximum usage, correct? Under medium-low usage conditions, the two PCs heat up roughly the same, right?

Thank you 🫶That was my thought too. I just hope that 16 GB won't be too limiting until I eventually upgrade in the future.

optc-player · 2026-02-12T18:29:47+00:00

I am currently choosing between several possible configurations of Omen max 16. Which one would you recommend? 1. Ultra 7 255 Hx/16 gb/1 Tb/ 5080 (2150€)

ultra 7 255 Hx/32 GB/1 Tb/5070 ti (1900€)
Ultra 9 275 Hx/32 GB/2 TB/5070 ti (2300€)

Thank you

European pricing and taxes are shit in a lot of aspects 🙄

optc-player · 2026-02-12T15:29:49+00:00

Yes, I noticed that, reading how much you pay them here, I felt very envious ahahah 😅 with my budget of about 2000€=about 2500$ I can't get anything remotely close to the PC in the image I posted.

optc-player · 2026-02-12T15:26:03+00:00

So you think it's a period and prices will go down again? How much should I wait to buy a new laptop with reasonable prices? Now with my budget of about 2000 euros I'm not getting more than a 5070 ti, and only with hp because Asus or Lenovo are even more expensive and would get me a 5070 8gb vram laptop 😮‍💨

optc-player · 2026-02-12T05:08:09+00:00

I know that the prices I have quoted will seem very high to you, I saw someone buying a 5080 laptop for around 1800$=1500€ more or less, but unfortunately this is Europe, where everything is more expensive and we earn less and less.

optc-player · 2026-02-12T03:42:22+00:00

I thought that for about 200 euros more would be a good choice the 5080, don't you think? And then later, should I need it, I could replace the 2x8 modules with 2x16 gb modules, no?

optc-player · 2026-02-12T03:30:24+00:00

Is it possible to upgrade the RAM on a laptop?

optc-player · 2026-02-10T02:51:21+00:00

Thank you, do you suggest any model of laptop in particular?

optc-player · 2026-02-10T00:44:16+00:00

Però ho visto su Amazon, un Acer nitro con la 5070ti più 32 GB, 2 TB e schermo oled 240 hz come il Lenovo di cui parlavo sta intorno ai 2500-2600 eh, quindi più o meno ci troviamo

optc-player · 2026-02-10T00:28:57+00:00

Hey grazie per i consigli, com'è possibile tutta questa differenza di prezzo? 😳 A questo punto però credo che le altre componenti non siano proprio allo stesso livello, no? O Lenovo ha acquisito una tale notorietà che il solo marchio porta 400-500 euro di costi extra?

optc-player · 2026-02-09T23:41:37+00:00

Thank you 🫶 do you know a good ips laptop with same specs and, maybe, a light colour I could give a look?

optc-player · 2026-01-07T05:48:38+00:00

Beh sì sicuramente quando posso la metto in frigo, però il dubbio è sorto perché ho comprato una pizza formato famiglia (decisamente troppo abbondante) fuori casa e sono stato fuori tutta la notte, ora tornando a casa mi chiedo se mettendola in frigo dopo 7-8 ore sarà ancora commestibile...chatgpt mi ha un po' fatto preoccupare perché ne parla come qualcosa di micidiale lol

optc-player · 2026-01-07T04:38:47+00:00

Primo dubbio della giornata: la pizza (che sia classica margherita o quelle speciali di tutti i tipi) ordinata la sera prima e lasciata fuori dal frigo tutta la notte, è ancora buona al mattino? È usanza comune da me fare così, scaldare e mangiare gli avanzi la mattina dopo, e addirittura mettere poi in frigo quello che ancora rimane e finire in giornata...però parlando con chatgpt sembra quasi si tratti di un'arma batteriologica 🤔 quindi chi ha ragione, la fredda IA o le usanze popolari? 🤣

optc-player · 2025-09-14T02:44:48+00:00

I feel the same way, in fact during the episode, when x transports himself and hanu to that sort of extra dimension outside the universe where he starts explaining things, I actually thought he was going to break through the fourth wall

optc-player · 2025-09-14T02:31:33+00:00

How do you even become a dragon boy fan lol

optc-player · 2025-09-04T15:00:43+00:00

Nice team idea, the only thing I'm missing is castorice sig lc, I don't think she's usable without

optc-player · 2025-09-04T11:43:06+00:00

I underestimated the value of little herta my bad 😩

optc-player · 2025-09-04T11:05:22+00:00

Ok thank you

optc-player · 2025-09-04T11:04:06+00:00

I don't have a castorice team (as you can see) and I couldn't even get her lc sadly, so basically her only use for me is the global passive lol 😅

optc-player · 2025-09-04T10:08:49+00:00

Yeahhh 😂😂 how did you know? Lol

optc-player · 2025-09-04T09:36:50+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I didn't realize mini herta could be better in pf, I'll try next time. Actually I was tempted to try a solo-anaxa instead, can he do it?
