laptops are not overpriced at all, only upgrades (eg. going from 256gb to 512) to them are. Find me comparable laptop for (significally) less than mbp and I'll send you all my 4 fg :lol:

@OP sure mbp is not enough? Any current model with discrete gpu (15") should handle it easily. But I'd say even the ones without discrete cpu will be just fine. Give me a sample and instructions and I can test


If I pull this off can I ave your current 109fg?

I gambled it away again. But if i win in next 1/2/3 hours again then ok.

Note: comparable laptop. Not just cpu or ram. To simplify the task, here are the main points to compare:

- screen
- disk
- ram
- cpu
- battery
- build quality

Okay it's hard to quantify directly so ignore it for now. But there are things I'm sure we all had in our laptops. Badly folded, squeaking, cheap plastics, weak hinges, loud, hot (yes I know how to clean it and replace thermal pads ;) ) - that can be read about in any model's review.

if this is all your after then the task is super fucking easy but sadly you have no fg so I'm not putting forth an effort.

You may think it's easy. Good luck finding comparable laptop for much less than MBP.

Protip: you won't. But it's easy to hide behind 100 fg that's worth exactly nothing :lol:

My 13" was roughly $1500 last year, in EU with 23% vat slapped on it :/

Currently seems to sell for $1300 with this year's model at $1500.

yes dual core
