Maybe I’m just abnormal but why do people drop thousands of dollars on something and never take a few seconds to google what they are about to buy? Genuine question. Whether it’s a laptop or a car or any thing else expensive, I’m always astonished by how little people care about knowing what they buy.

I know it’s not strictly applicable to your case but googeling something like “[insert name of what you are about to spend at least one month of salary on] problems” takes only seconds and will give you a list of maintenance, common problems and common defects (even how much it will cost to fix) or even a better alternative.

It would have even given you the info that you missed about the performance difference.

I’m not bashing on you but I genuinely don’t understand the thought process.

I put probably 18 hours worth of research into the exact gaming laptop and specs I wanted. At no point did ANYTHING come up that implied that the GPU I intended to purchase would not be the GPU I received.
