I’m actually building a custom PC with a Ryzen 7500f and RX 6650xt.

That’s a great upgrade! Make sure you don’t overpay this time.

Definitely not, I’m assembling it myself this time.

I noticed the specs sticker looks like an i3

It’s actually an i5. I just put a random i3 sticker on it for laughs.

Probably worth around 300-400 euros, maybe 400 is stretching it. Are these considered low-end gaming specs?

Yeah, it’s definitely not the best out there.

Given the sticker, I’d say 50 euros max, I’d buy it for that.

It’s an i5 11300h, the i3 sticker is just for fun.

Oh, I was just kidding with that offer!

No problem, got a chuckle out of it.

What happened to the hinges?

I dropped it from about 3 feet onto carpet.

I dropped mine yesterday, and the hinges are still perfect. What exactly happened with yours?

Honestly, it’s just the build quality of this particular model.

Makes sense, I have a Dell and it’s pretty durable.

I have an old Dell Latitude that’s survived worse, it’s incredibly sturdy.

Honestly, the GTX 1650 isn’t great for ultra settings at 1080p, but it manages medium settings fine for most games.

Yeah, that’s been my experience too.

How did you end up paying three times the usual price for this laptop?

I was inexperienced and just went with what was available at Harvey Norman.
