I don't play games on Max usually, but I prefer spending $1000 every three years and playing games on high settings in the first year to low at the end of the three years and then enjoy the new laptop again three years later.
I was going to buy a laptop in January, but since I'm moving in March, I needed to keep the money for the deposit. So it will be a while before I can buy a new one.
Oh well, different opinions
Nothing wrong with that.
