found out about this website called ironside via the newest opera gx sponsor, saw a section dedicated to laptops and thought "hey this is really good, now i don't have to deal with this green tint and a partially fractured screen (something i didn't mention before because it was a bit hard to explain) anymore", and

what the fuck

do i look like mr. beast to you?

you can customize it but that only makes the price higher

running my money and coins through an online total counter (and assuming i counted everything accordingly), i have about $170.57 in cash (quarters carried, there were 27 of them), which isn't nearly enough to cover the price

i could probably find a "cheaper" pc (cheaper in big ass quotes because it's still going to be expensive) somewhere else but i'm not trying to go broke for this

the last thing i want to happen is that i find a pc i can afford, i buy it at the cost of all of my money, and either

1. it has terrible storage and can barely run
2. it's hella easy to break and i can lose it faster than i can buy it
3. all of the above

i don't have to worry about my financial status since i haven't gotten to that point where i have to move out (yet) but still

i'm not trying to go broke for a pc

why are PCs so damn expensive
