that is true but for beginners with a $1000 budget who ask about buying laptops to host services
one thing I forgot to mention is that it also heavily depends on an individual’s use cases, restrictions, and preferences
that is definitely true however the added benefit is typically a longer warranty range as buying a laptop would typically mean that all components would be sold under a single flat warranty cycle/deadline
plus even if your computer is borked, you can still take it into a microcenter, memoryexpress, brick-and-mortor retailer to have their technicians figure it out the problem for a cost
I often have these time vs cost tradeoff discussions with my customers after they’ve been informed on the basics
with a $1000 budget they might want to consider building a computer as desktops usually provide better performance/per cost rather than buying a $1000 laptop
building is incredibly easy as there’s a plethora of tutorial vids online and you’re less likely to get screwed over by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or retailer
the fediverse here also has an active community for support !buildapc@lemmy.world
I recently learned that Strawberry has native built-in streaming capabilities
