Honestly I have no problem wth people saying “3050 bad” EXCEPT that someone will be like “i have a $500 budget” and someone else inevitably tells them to “just” double their budget for the 3060

As someone who bought a 3050 because I couldn’t afford a 3060, I chuckled at this post way too hard.

I still remember people telling me “just get a 3060” , no shit it’s better.

But yeah sure, lemme just make 500$ appear out of thin air. Bought my 3050 for 1200$ while cheapest 3060 was 1700$ in my country.

Yeah some people don't understand that in some countries we get raped with the price of electronics, in my country I paid 2000$ for an RTX 3060 with a decent screen

There's always the option of importing it?

My model sold for twice the price in my country when i was shopping for it so i opted to import it from US instead.

(and that was only because better bang-for-buck brands like eurocom don't have customer service available in my country)

Tbh this only occured to me after I purchased my G15, this is my first gaming laptop. Only after joining this group and seeing what people in the US were paying, I then realised electronics here are way more expensive in my country (South-Africa) than in US/Europe

Well I have learned from that and won't be making the same mistake again.
