My laptop is 7 years old starting to show it’s age. I’m worried it will die soon so I’ve been looking for a replacement, but DAMN are decent laptops expensive these days.
I would like something powerful enough to play stuff like Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3 and FF:7 Rebirth (And most importantly, Monster Hunter Wilds when it comes out) at a decent framerate. It also has to be a university laptop, so nothing covered in RGB lights that looks like an Alienware fucked a Cybertruck, please.
I don’t want to spend a ton of money, but am I being unrealistic? I don’t want to spend 5000 on a computer, that’s ridiculous, my car cost less than that.
Yes it’s a shitty car, that’s not the point. Stop judging my poor ass.
I’m looking at getting a refurbished laptop (basically show models/re-issued corporate laptops). My colleague recommended reboot-it dot com dot au. I think they’re nation wide?
Edit: hm seems they’re out of gaming laptops, but a couple other refurb sites do (pretty pricey) even if they’re not ‘new’
do not get one from grays.com.au under any circumstances. Ive made that mistake twice now.
Keep an eye on Ozbargain because refurbished laptops come up pretty frequently.
