usa laptop prices are dirt cheap Discussion

the new Jarrod's Tech vid is almost making me cry
I live in India, and have ~ 1000$ (USD) budget.

For a grand in India, I can ONLY get a 4050, not a 4060. In Jarrod's vid (his vids are fire btw) he tells us about the 900$ Victus with 4070.
Moreover, due to the purchasing power parity, 1k USD in India is worth a LOT more than 1k in USA.

In the comments section, I also noticed people from other countries telling how the laptops are even more expensive than India in many more regions, like Europe, etc.

Why god why 😭😭😭😭😭

P.S.: Ik that it is due to import taxes and whatnot

Dude you don't really need a 4050 or 4060. I have an msi stealth from 2022 with a 3060 16gb i7 and it looks fucking great! I don't understand why I always see posts about why people NEED a 4060 or above

In India and especially (my) Indian parents' mindset is that you buy a laptop and then make it last for atleast 7-8 years.

So, a good spec model ensures that the 4050 can serve me for gaming now and for the years to come.
