How to Convince Your Dad that a Black... How to Convince Your Dad that a Black Friday Laptop is Not Worth the Time Anymore

My dad started out in this country as a software engineer, working on various projects from large contractor companies that essentially brought in tons of immigrants to fill contract needs in the 70s and 80s. He now works as a Project Manager in the development/software sector, but has always been familiar with computing and best practices. Come black friday season, he's usually interested in picking up a new laptop to manage his personal work. I usually see him go through these every 2-3 years, and this past year he asked me what laptop I think he should get. I bet him that I could spent less on a custom built PC that is more powerful and capable than a laptop, and would far outlive the life of the laptop as well as the period of time it takes for a machine to "feel slow". What ensued over the next three days was a debate of the ages, similar to those of Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates. He showed off tempting deals--mobile platforms with Ryzen 7 CPUs, high fidelity displays, long battery life, warranties. I returned by pointing out benchmarks of those CPUs, the lower clock speed of the memory modules, the ineffective cooling capability of the chassis. Finally, our great debate resulted in a close with a wager. That I could successfully build a complete machine with peripherals for under 500 USD that would outmatch the laptops he was interested in, even in ranges of 600-700 in price. Ultimately, we're both quite happy with the resulting build. He primarily uses the computer for office and productivity related work. He was using a Dell Inspiron 22 3263 that was an AIO desktop solution. He had been struggling with load times, processing times, and the ability to print 50+ page documents (as he also side hustles as a notary) without the computer crashing. Looking back, perhaps I could have gone with a lower memory package, but for the cost and the spec it was a great deal! If it was an intensive gaming build, I definitely would have sprung for a silver or gold standard PSU, but with the given warranty and the use case, I thought this was fine. With additional savings, I would have installed an NVME SSD to act as a boot drive, then added in some HDD TB drives for storage, but we had plenty of old drives lying around to recycle into this build, so there was no need. I also learned that I love building in mATX cases! My own build uses a full size ATX case, and I feel that the cable management gets messy as it is with that much room. In this case, I just left the rats nest of cables as is because there's not that much space anyways, so who cares!$475.74 -

I built this PC because I have been wanting to build a computer for years and I probably should have built one a couple years back (I could of got a decently priced gpu). I built this computer to play games like COD Warzone and Rainbow Six Siege once I can find a gpu. Since I couldn’t find a Ryzen 5600x at a decent price, I decided to go with an Intel i5 11600k. It has similar performance to its Ryzen counterpart, but it gobbles up more power. Now that I found Ryzen 5600x for cheaper than what I paid for the Intel chip, I kind of regret not waiting a little bit longer. For the motherboard I got a Asrock Z590 Extreme. Yeah, I probably could have bought another motherboard with similar performance, but I got it on sale. To cool this hot cpu I first went with water cooling. I bought a Coolermaster ML240 V2. I liked it, but I researched that the pump is prone to breakage and there is no indicator to when it breaks. I didn’t want to deal with going in circles in a couple years from now so I decided to buy a nice air cooler. I went with a Noctua NHU12-S. It is super quiet and keeps my cpu cool. For my ram I decided to buy a pair of PNY XLR8 ddr4 2x8 gb at 3200mhz. I bought this ram on sale, so I saved some money there. I bought a 3 pack of argb cooler master 120 mm case fans for only $40 which was pretty good. For my PSU I bough an Evga 750BQ Semi Modular power supply for around $50. Not a bad deal. For my storage I went with a small SSD I got from Micro Center for free as a boot drive (Thanks Micro Center). Now for probably the most depressing part. I originally wanted to buy a MSI case that was only $50 and was a steal ATX case. After it went out of stock I set my eyes on an XPG Invader which was also $49 and had some pretty cool features. Right when I was about to buy it, it went out of stock and I decided to just buy a Corsair 4000D Airflow. I may or may not have spent too much money on it. When it came in the mail it didn’t even come with the screws, but I only had to wait a couple days for the replacements to arrive. Corsair’s customer support is pretty good in my opinion. There isn’t any rgb in the front until I find some nice case fans.$712.94 -
