Gaming laptop- Help needed

[CerburA]

Hi guys. So i really want to get myself a new gaming laptop but dont have 10k-13k cash. Is there anyone one here that can help with financing or something along that line. Can easily pay back in 6 months, just really dont see the need for me to make a loan for this. So any guidance would be much appreciated thanks.

1. Save money for 6 months.
2. Buy gaming laptop.
3. Score.

Seriously. In six months what you get is going to be much faster anyway. Just wait six months. It's not the end of the world.

Agreed, if you can hold on for a few months you will always be able greatly improve the specs you would have gotten from buying now, which would last you a but longer in the future.

Oh you got two threads, here is my response to the other.

Unless you need a laptop for working purposes more than gaming and mobility, I would say a gaming laptop is a bad investment. Most you can't even upgrade(ram and SSD apart), so in a year or so next gen games will run like crap. Unless you invest in something with a GTX10XX in it, but then you look at R15k+. Also think about failure, if something breaks in a laptop it sometimes takes everything else with it. So, repairs will be costly. Most parts are soldered to the main board, so no popping out the gpu or cpu these days.

Resell value needs to be considered also. I paid R16k for a gaming laptop a few years ago and now its worth R5k or less. So no selling of the worthy parts.

I won't invest in a laptop again. For work and browsing yes, but this you can do with Intel gfx. For gaming, I'll stick with a desktop from now on. Maybe look at ITX if its small form factor you are after.

Just my 2 cents.
