there are plenty of home computers for sale for under $500. i’m on a $700 laptop right now that’s 4 years old.

they just can’t run modern games. i can run 2d games just fine or old games.

the gaming crowd seems to forget that most computers don’t use integrated graphics and a $1000 PC is a luxury purchase.

at that pricepoint it’s just about showing off how much money you have.

typical rich way to backhand brag about how rich you are is to whine about how ‘expensive’ things are that are luxury items.

motherboard prices haven’t inflated too much yet. gaming/consumer motherboards aren’t in demand from the AI industry. the want server hardware

most folks will pay. all my PC gamer friends are just paying $200 per 16GB stick now.

they have to give up their bragging rights if they don’t upgrade their PCs

ai companies don’t care about kids learning.
