My friend just sent me this picture What the fuck?

That's excessive even for a prebuilt
Think of the computer 5k could get you, that could be a decent workstation at that price.

>>56393023
dude I'm not a computer genius, just like building them, but that computer is nowhere near 5k. I'd pay 800-900 for it max.

I imagine it's just the tech store trying to pull a massive ripoff on some grandpa trying to buy his grandson a "gaming computer"

Literal highway robbery. You can build one with the same specs for about 10 times cheaper.

Apple products are still over priced aswell but i cant say anything i payed over 2k for my thinkpad P50 (Xeon 16GB RAM NVIDIA Quadro 4GB VRAM 500GB M.2 Samsung SSD)

>>56393600
>buying new thinkpads

The whole business laptop meme is because they're so well built and pricey, yet dirt cheap second hand because megacorp IT departments replace their fleets so often because of how IT budgeting works.

So OP was going on a highway and was robbed by someone wielding an HP desktop? That's what "literally" means.

Pretty sure you can build one for the same specs for less than 1000$

Also, that Acer model is from 2010 as well.
And so is that Sony for sale, too.

>prebuilt
I can get a prebuilt PC cheaper than buying the parts.
Pluss I get a three year warranty on the prebuilt.
(Built by a store that sells PC parts)

When will the prebuilts are expensive meme die?

It's definitely in Australia.
Check the sign and you'll see

>>56393983
And your shitty prebuilt will have the cheapest crappiest lowest bidder parts money can buy, especially the PSU where they skimp the hardest since 99% of people never change their hardware.

>>56393941
Oh shit dude, I asked my friend and turns out he didn't actually take the picture. fucker led me on.

Sorry all. still a massive ripoff though

It's a rental service. They prey on the poor and uninformed.

>>56394042
he's shopping for PC parts and just said "wanna see an image that makes me sick" and sent that, I didn't know whether he actually saw it in the store or not

>>56393739
Lost

That picture is old if it came with Windows 7. A google image search shows that the picture came from a reddit thread.

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c02153179

Found the specs.

GPU is a 5770.

Picture is old as fuck, probably not worth more than $350 today, and $700 as a prebuilt back then.

It's a Rental Store, dude. They're always going to be massively overpriced. I'm sorry your White-Suburban eyes have never seen inside a rent-a-center or similar.

For reference:

And it's almost $1,200 if you pay it all off plus interest in 52 weeks.

Why are things so expensive in Brazil?

>>56393918
Using "literally" means you're not using hyperbole. It's the only word that means that and it's the one that faggot chose.

>>56394878
Wacky customs trying to prop up whatever domestic industries they have.

>>56394878

They tax anything not produced in Brazil at high rates

>>56394878
Taxes.

>>56395069
I'm pretty sure PS4s are made in Brazil and much more expensive there than in the US.

>>56395094

Other factors like labour laws and poor infrastructure so higher transport costs will push the cost up even if it is produced in Brazil

>>56394878
We have crazy taxation and many years ago, some companies done some serious lobbying to "protect local industry"
So basically anything that's not soy, coffee or some 30 year old hardware made locally will be taxed with ridiculous rates.

Right now for example, if I buy a 300 dollar CPU and pay 40 dollars for shipping I will have to pay 340 dollars in taxes at the customs office.

There are some ways to cheat the system which people usually do (they travel to USA and buy small things and brings them back), one funny thing is that it's a practice mostly done by family members of politicians.

That's a fucking stupid combo, especially since the HP mobo won't allow overclocking, negating the benefit of an extreme edition CPU. Could have used an i7 970 and a 5970 for the same price.

>what is interest

>>56392990
Note the rent option. Rent to own stores usually charge a minimum of double the sticker price. They are massive ripoffs designed to fuck the poor in the ass.
