I am looking at a content creator computer and gaming laptop 💻
Hello! It sounds like you've put a lot of thought and planning into your gaming and content creation setup, as well as your personal goals. I’m glad to help you organize and clarify your plans regarding the laptop purchase and your budgeting process.
**Regarding Your Laptop Choices and Purchase Strategy:**
- **Models You're Interested In:**
- MSI Stealth A16 AI+ (16" 240Hz OLED, AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, RTX 5070 Ti)
- MSI Stealth A18 AI+ (18" UHD+ mini LED, AMD Ryzen R9-HX370, RTX 5090)
- **Key Considerations:**
- Upgradability versus fixed specs
- Regional variations and tariffs affecting price and availability
- Future-proofing, especially if content creation or gaming demands increase
- Budget constraints, with aims for Black Friday discounts and potential waiting to see if prices drop
- **Pricing & Budgeting:**
- Your target is under $2000 by Black Friday—this is a smart approach, especially for high-end gaming/content laptops.
- You’ve noted that the high-end A18 might be out of reach even with sales. Waiting or considering slightly lower-tier models could be wise.
- **Market Dynamics & Regional Variations:**
- It's normal for different markets to have different models. Regional models might differ slightly in specs, but often they have similar performance.
- Tariffs and trading wars can impact pricing and availability, especially with Taiwan-based companies like MSI and graphics card manufacturers.
- **Patience and Planning:**
- Waiting until Black Friday or next year could save you a lot of money.
- If this purchase isn't urgent, waiting for sales or newer models might be smarter.
**Personal and Financial Goals:**
- You’ve made excellent progress on weight and financial discipline—congratulations!
- Considering your goals, delaying a big purchase can help you focus on savings and other priorities.
- Cataloging your food and exercise is a smart move for health, and it’s inspiring how disciplined you’re being.
**Suggestions:**
- **Set a Clear Price Alert:** Use tools like Newegg's or other retailer’s wishlists to monitor price drops.
- **Explore Alternative Models:** Look at slightly less powerful but still capable laptops that may go on sale.
- **Consider Refurbished or Open-Box Options:** Sometimes these options come with warranties and are significantly cheaper.
- **Balance Your Goals:** Prioritize your mental health, financial stability, and long-term goals—both tech and weight-related.
I’ve been looking 👀 to up grade from my steam deck pc gaming experience it was really a gateways experience to get into gaming.
For a gaming pc that I could also upgrade into my content creation. Where I’ve been slowly directing my direction to orientate too.
This computer a sort of the direction I’m looking to get to but also a big step in getting into that direction.
I’ve been doing my research I hear Apple is great for content creation but gaming is better on PC so I’ve mixed a few different things and 🔬 I think I’ve figured out where I want to buy it from what I hear with warranty and returns,
Newegg is…
The place to go.
Although I’ve done research under Best Buy and Walmart, Staples and a lit about American PC for the type of computer 🖥️ I want, the models have changed from reviewer on line to locations to year to year. I’ve really looked to even the bios setting having mouse configuration controls.
Now I’ve never owned an MSI but I have looked and talked this computer over for a year or two now. I’m planning for an AMD processor either a seven or nine but more I research I more likely with settle with a five AMD processor either if it’s available still by November but I don’t want a intel processor due to the high cost of it to get an equivalent in speed with AMD for cost. Lots of intels on for great price ms but a lower Tier laptop
This is the first time I’ve made an establishment tentative date on my purchase and given my stipulation if I’ll buy it close to my birthday 🎁 on if I’ll buy even when if the price is right it goes into a direction if I will.
The comments go,
Hey does the MSI stealth studio only go to the USA 🇺🇸 cause I can only find the MSI stealth 16+a
Not sure man, each country has a different model if there are mods to the wireless regulatory rules
Yet to talk it over with Ai?
After a lengthy conversation with AI, I get to the end discussion about the pc version. That yes I will have to adjust my version of PC.
Something that doesn’t have upgradable Ram specs and slightly different reasons why it’ll not be available for my location are well petty reasons but hey that’s tariffs and complications that go into a trading war either pay 💰for a similar pc or get less options for upgrades as buying as is… I don’t know if it’s an older models that can do ram upgrades or if these china 🇨🇳 AI companies are making videos saying you can upgrade RAM when you can’t upgrade the RAM. Cause it’s Soldered in. And you buy it as is. Either I’m sold on this computer and there so much to dispute over it that there’s an information war on the features but I’ve stop watch those china 🇨🇳 AI YouTube videos on it.
That makes sense. Many manufacturers release multiple models with similar or identical specifications, often tailored to different regions, price points, or feature sets. Comparing these models can help you find a version that fits your budget and needs while perhaps avoiding higher tariffs or taxes.
Here are some tips for choosing a comparable alternative:
1. **Compare Key Specs:** Focus on CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, display size, and resolution. Often, models with the same core components offer similar performance.
2. **Check for Regional Variants:** Some models are made specifically for certain markets and may have slight differences in features or configurations.
3. **Read Reviews and Benchmarks:** This can help you understand how different models perform in real-world scenarios.
4. **Look for International Versions:** Manufacturers sometimes release global or international editions that might have different pricing and availability in your area.
5. **Consider Warranty and Support:** Make sure that the alternative models come with proper support and warranty services locally.
I’ve seen the price of the laptop change from $3,000 to $6,000 with the same specs I was looking for, but if I were to do that I would pick these two anyway in today instead of the upgradable option to upgrade just have the upgrade. A bit of inconceivable thoughts that the USA market gets a choice to buy now upgrade later on trade war troubles and options to upgrade or upgrades but nothing where Im buying from not the USA 🇺🇸 for twice the cost in tariffs but Taiwan 🇹🇼 purchase in Canada model /version🇨🇦
The lone star ⭐️ flag.
Okay it’s not Texas though I like the idea.
Of losing possibly a little more of my soul and heart ♥️ in time online, I don’t know if that’s a good thing or if I should possibly be less online than not. But these are the two computers I’m looking at..
MSI Stealth A16 AI+ 16" 240Hz OLED Gaming Laptop, AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe SSD, Windows 11 Home (Stealth A16 AI+ A3HWHG-046CA) - Newegg.cahttps://www.newegg.ca/msi-16-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-laptop-gpu-amd-ryzen-ai-7-350-qhd-32gb-memory-1-tb-nvme-ssd/p/N82E16834156771
This is at least hoping it will be in my budget with black Friday sales. I’m hoping with Black Friday sales it’ll become in my budget if it’s under $2000. By November tentatively see in November to buy it for under $2,000 or I’ll have to pass to another year I figure
MSI Stealth A18 AI+ 18" UHD+ mini LED 120Hz Gaming Laptop AMD Ryzen R9-HX370 RTX 5090 64GBDDR5 2TB NVMe SSD Win 11 - Newegg.cahttps://www.newegg.ca/msi-18-geforce-rtx-5090-laptop-gpu-amd-ryzen-ai-9-hx-370-uhd-64gb-memory-2-tb-ssd/p/N82E16834156758
This is the computer I want but can’t afford I don’t even think a Black Friday sale would put it in my budget
I’ve been really watching everything I can with this Taiwan company even hearing that the ceo was found dead at 56 from falling out of a building mysteriously….
Makes the graphic card changed sounds complicated in Reddit. And yet unbelievable for news online….
One would hope there was more options in the market for more competition.
That be healthy hoping in the fall(autumn) that the Radeon graphics card would be issued, cause they discontinued it this year and I’m hoping they give news this autumn 🍂 But new computers would most likely not be on Black Friday sales if they were released in fall so that be a budget idea for tentative passing a buy for next year model if it were even released then.
So far I got 14 more payments on my debt or seven large ones that would make my life an ostracized mess on living. Like eating nothing but cottage cheese chicken and rice with consuming nothing but bare necessities. And no drinks on hot days but tap water and ice 🧊 with caffeine pills to get through the day…
Not my make believe type of living I’d suggest but I’ve budgeted to the max for things I wanted. And lost weight.
Life brings about good news with structuring finically to diet at least…
You see how this all gets confusing 🫤 for me for winter coming… and other years I’ve made this a set back to buy another year….
But I’ve been set up for this computer well the idea of it for a few years and set backs always happen.
I’ve set my goals for weight management and fitness last year reaching slow gains and modest progress.
I lost 1.5 a month since February so I’ve lost six lbs
So about .3 lbs a week right where I want it with to much emotional stress losing 2 lbs a week is to much for my mental health. .5 is a good spot but I’ll cheer for .7 lbs a week.
Little habits doesn’t look like much but if I do it for another four months I’ll be 12 lbs - 15 lbs lighter and ready for my winter weight cycles
I’m hoping trends continue back to Oct zones before winter 🥶 hits again. Winter I ad a few pounds it is how it is I got four months to collect my goal in,.. to lose 12-15 lbs by Oct from Feb- March zones I’d like to lose 30 lbs but I’m happy 😃 with a goal of 12 lbs
Out planning to hovering over winter the same weight and planning another ten lbs next year I’ve been bulking for years
Do that six months that’s a good goal achievable for sure Cataloging food helps for sure and cataloging your exercising and seeing progress is another important on fat loss and prevention of it coming back in winter 🥶 that or extra weight.
Back to the laptop, how do I expect to make this purchase is…
Looking for blackfriday sales in June….. that’s how budgets some times look for people😕 but I’m also okay waiting another year, or letting the possibility of it pass completely too. That’s budgeting… is
A long list of waiting expenses.
Just saying it possible for it to reach my sale price i’m hoping for by Black Friday. Just got to wait and see
With 40% off it would be $1980 with out tax. Still to high,… I might have to go for a lower tier still…. But aim high right!
I might have to settle for an intel laptop cause the lower tiers are so affordable
