I'm aware


My only laptop is my 10 year old hp from college

Only used for... Specific tasks

why get a laptop? you could build two towers for the price of one laptop.

anyway, to save some money i would use slickdeals and be patient and learn the market.

acer is fine, i have a laptop from them for going to CTF at security events. got it for 375 USD last black friday.

what games do you play?
i just built my first pc, has the same gpu as the costco link (1050 gtx ti)
i enjoy it but i just play league + stream

stream quality is really good for me though, which is nice.
