officially done helping this friend

[Greco101]

I've been helping my buddy get the best laptop possible and trying to supply him with my reasoning. But when he said this to me while trying to explain why he wants the ****tier laptop over the one I suggested for nearly the same price he says:

: plus no stickers
: theres like 3
: and thats a plus
BlackS3ven (9:32:34 PM): lol...
BlackS3ven (9:32:40 PM): stickers come right off
: windows nvidia and cpu sticker
: thats all
: still thats a pain for me to do

The laptop he wants has 1 less gig of ram, 100MHz less cpu, 40GBs less hdd space and 1 year less factory warranty.

Did I miss something, he's basing his decision on stickers? Not hardware?

[Spawn-Inc]

thats really annoying... we should all join the tbcs chat room thing and get him to join as well then we should all bash him for stickers....

[Greco101]

Yes, and because the other laptop (the one I put in hot hardware deals) after tax barely puts him over what he has in the bank right now and he doesn't wanna wait until his next paycheck.

His budget is 1000 dollars and apparently he'd rather have half the laptop now than wait a week and spend and extra 50 bucks lol.

[IndyRacer27]

He's $50 short of making the better purchase? Has he shopped around and sure he can't get a better deal somewhere? What a shame to buy that much less of a computer because of impatience and fifty measly bucks.

[Greco101]

Ya, he's somewhat shopped around at places like bestbuy... (ya, he's one of those people that think because of the stores name, it's the best)

He's also convinced that he wants a 15 or 17" laptop that is capable of at least 1440 x 900 which is understandable but pretty retarded if the laptop can't play a game at that res without lagging.

I just don't understand why anyone would penny pinch on a long term investment.

...over stickers.

[Scotty]

Especially over Intel and Nvidia stickers. Now if we were talking SpongeBob stickers i'm in!

sometimes you cant explain things. I mean c'mon stupidity is gaining speed by leaps and bounds these days. Right now you know what is going to be the best medicine for this?? When he gets the system and it doesn't run worth crap you get to give him a free dose of I told you so......

[Greco101]

stupidity is gaining speed by leaps and bounds these days.

Funny you mentioned that. My girlfriend and I stayed up all night discussing the worlds stupidity and how the end of the United States most likely isn't too far away. (Even though in our eyes, the United States is long gone...)

Um WTF!!! Seriously smack that fool. Stickers are the reason he won't get a better laptop?! I can't comprehend this, um wow.
