costco is a weird place like if you ask them about headphones they just go

:blobcatlord: best i can do is 500$ hipsters from apple, or 200$ samsungs.
:blobcatpuffyshy: what about reasonable normal person prices
:blobcatlord: good god go to best buy, we don't carry products for poor people
@icedquinn My question in this scenario is who on earth buys headphones from Costco

@allison @icedquinn Their electronics section sucks but my Dad always buys his laptops there for whatever reason.

@allison @xianc78 sometimes they're trying to yeet weird stock nobody wants and you can get a deal on it. i got this bravo 17 because ... i dunno, they configured the build weird and everyone hated it.
@allison @xianc78 its AMD/AMD, but they put in 8gb RAM (supposed to be 16 stock, but 64 max), so ended up with a ryzen 7 with many cores for ~1,000. people keep giving me shit for a mobile GPU but like. 5500M is not a bad card it's just not a thousand dollar bitcoin miner.
@allison @xianc78 i highly doubt i could build a desktop for this price considering how fucked the GPU market is, and a good ryzen alone is like 300-400$

@icedquinn @allison Things are probably going to get better now that processors dedicated to crypto mining are a thing.

@icedquinn @allison Unless that shitty California law banning gaming PCs becomes a federal law.
