So funny enough, this is what I went with. Costco had it on sale and bundled it with assassin's Creed shadows. So far I'm happy with my choice!
To be fair, I just replaced my Chromebook OS with mint..
However, the switch is only $300. It's raised prices ~$100 in 40 years. Versus the PlayStation started at $300 in 95, and is up to $500. $200 in 30 years.
I understand your comparison, but some companies have extended the starting price more than others.
I mean, is it that? Or are electronics getting to an unattainable price point? What 8 year old has $400+ for a console and $60 per game? Sure, parents will buy it, but it's out of range for many.

Help with a laptop build?
Hey guys! Okay so here's the deal, my current PC Tower is from a deal back when Dell was giving away a free Xbox 360 if you buy a computer. About 8 years ago, I upgraded the graphics card to a 1050 and dropped in an SSD, but this thing's very much on its last legs.
I'm thinking of trading it out for a gaming laptop, because some of what I do needs the portability, but for the most part I'd like to dock it at my desk.
I'd like to do some light gaming, and I'm considering getting a 3D printer, so some CAD work.
From what I've researched, I'd like 32 gigs ram, and I think 1 terrabyte SSD. I'm also planning on having an external drive stack to load games from to save space, and to keep mobile gaming to a minimum..
Y'all have any recommendations? I looked at MSI, but I've heard they have heat distribution issues. I like Acer and Asus, but I don't really know what's good.
Only other stipulations, I would love to have an HDMI out, and keep the whole build under $1,500.
Discworld isn't all that bad!
Son of a bitch I just got back into Firefox.
No shit it's more expensive. The point isn't to save money, it's to save the planet.
Hahaha
Please be a true sequel. Bring the boys back from their office jobs to go on a treasure hunt.
If they HAVE to make a sequel, at least let it be good.
