Crystal: I'm thinking of buying this laptop:
Crystal: <file_other>
Crystal: what do you think? it's got good reviews.
Mel: it does, but do you really need something like that?
Crystal: huh?
Mel: it's pretty expensive, are you sure you don't want something cheaper? and smaller
Mel: you don't need a laptop like that for writing and surfing
Crystal: excuse me, I play games too so I wanted a good one!
Crystal: there's some new games coming out that my old computer won't be able to handle and they're PC-only
Mel: I get it but I still think that's overkill
Mel: gaming laptops aren't the best investment if you ask me...
Mel: it's better to get a cheaper laptop for things you need/want to do on the go
Mel: and use a desktop for gaming as they're more upgradable
Crystal: huh... well, you do have a point, I suppose
Mel: <file_other>
Mel: this looks like a decent laptop and it doesn't cost a fortune
Crystal: let's see
Mel: and as for the desktop, I'd build it myself if I were you
Mel: there are guides online, so anyone can do it if they really want to
Mel: and you'll get a better bang for your buck this way
Crystal: I like this one, I'll consider it
Crystal: maybe you're right... I've never built my own PC but if others can do it, why can't I
Mel: <file_other>
Mel: I recommend this website, everything is explained step-by-step and very clearly, too. it's really easy to follow
Crystal: ohhh... thank you! :)
Crystal is considering buying a laptop. Mel suggests buying a cheaper laptop and a desktop PC.
