IN REGARDS TO FUCKING LAPTOPS

You couldn't check it with your baggage and pay the fee for the extra luggage?

 

That depends entirely on whether or not they would allow it, but I figured they would let you, that's why I made a ballpark estimate of $200 to ship it that way.

They also make a 15", they used to make a 10".

 

Lol? Customs cost for 50+lb order in excess of value of $1600 (I have a fulltower case, and a lot of I/O shit) Plus since the parts are fragile some would have to be shipped separately you're looking at may 5-6 boxes. Plus, it's going by plane, not boat, I'm not waiting 3 months for my computer. You think I'm illwitted to think it costs that kind of money to ship something commercially?

 

EDIT: Actually for giggles I calculated on UPS what it would cost to ship one large box that could hold everything I'd send with my computer. I was illwitted, it wasn't $200, it was $1200, for five days later lol. GG, Jazzy.

How much would the laptop cost to ship on UPS? The one you have?

I have a regular laptop weighing in at 3-4lbs, a gaming laptop doesn't weigh more than 8 or so if its heavy duty, let's say 10lbs in all for that third party cooling pad to put under it. That's still 1/6th the weight, and it can be transported in your carry on. You wouldn't have to worry about shipping it with an extra fee like you would a desktop and making sure its secured with padding. Stop being so contentious, its sad.

 

UPS says $350 for shipping a 10lb box, same exact location, but instead of shipping it could be in my backpack for free. GG again Jazzy.

I guess you're right. If you think that you should get a laptop over a desktop because you can save money on shipping costs, then go ahead.

 

But if you want to save money and not make a silly purchase, don't buy a _gaming_ laptop.
