I can definitely recommend it tho! And it's more expensive than an SSD than can hold it and 40 other games
edit: (to clarify) ssd's are cheap af. If you can buy a game for 80 euros, you can buy an SSD for 15 (or more)
That's not how you sell it to people. You're making it sound overpriced.
I'm not selling anything
Hi! Welcome to English 101.
Today, you get to learn that the phrase "selling" here means "recommending".
It has nothing to do with literal transaction of goods or services for money. Instead, it is based on the concept of "salesmanship", or convincing someone of the value of something - be it an idea or product. Recommending something is a method of selling it.
What I love is that this guy argued for a week that he wasn't selling anything. Like your quip personally offended him so badly he lost command of the English language.
Problem comes when Anon has a laptop and doesn't want external drives
That’s when you learn that
a) you can upgrade laptops with a larger SSD and
b) that it’s a bad idea to buy one that has the SSD soldered on…
Orrrrr just don't buy games that routinely require you to have 250gb of space dedicated to them.
Yeah what the fuck? Just buy a 4080, just open your laptop and fuck around with a new ssd, so worth it to play the new game that is actually the ladt three games.
External SSDs are more than fast enough for any game as long as there's not a bus or enclosure bottleneck, and they're portable. You don't even need USB 4 or Thunderbolt to get GB/s throughput with an NVMe drive.
ssd's go inside a laptop too
Most laptops only have a single slot.
You want people to upgrade their SSD and reinstall their OS just to play a game?
They could just ... not play that game.
Not anymore really. SSDs are mostly soldered in nowadays.
Surely that's just some apple bullshit. Asshats always seem to follow them but surely that's not becoming a norm... Right?
Plenty of consumer laptops sold within the last 5 years have soldered in SSDs. Apple does it because it makes for great market segmentation.
Smaller laptops = less customisability.
If you buy garbage it is, you are capable of doing a google search before you buy right?
This isn't about me. I don't buy laptops in general as they're overpriced garbage. This is about how companies treat consumers and how it's easy for someone to buy a laptop they think is good when it's not.
