"Pay hundreds of dollars for a new computer"?

Forget this guy's struggles with Windows, I want to know where they're buying sub-1K PCs in 2025. I'll debloat Windows 8 for that deal if I have to.

You haven't looked at all. There's zillions of them everywhere

2000 is still hundreds

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 0 points 4 days ago

that's another order of magnitude

"New" can also mean "new to me".

Let me open a random online computer shop here in Central Europe, and I am greeted with this:

Ranging from shit-tier 300€ office and youtube machine to 1k€ entry-level macbook. Sure, it's no thinkpad carbon pro ultra leet, but face it, most people don't buy that (or buy that used)

And that is laptops, desktop PCs usually tend to be a bit cheaper for the same performance level.

One thousand is just ten hundreds if you really think about it.
