124 Buying a computer
On Sunday morning, Zhao Nuo and Jian Tong sat at the coffee table as usual, eating fried dough sticks bought from the breakfast shop downstairs while watching the city's news on TV.
The beautiful anchor on the screen read out today's news in an unchanged tone: "Last night, the police arrested four drag racers in Beicheng District. The guardrail of Youth Street in Beicheng District has been damaged and has been basically restored to its original position. At present, the police will intensify the rectification of illegal racing cars in the city......"
"There's been a lot of mess here lately, last time it was a serial murder case, and this time there was a drag race."
Jian Tong sighed inarticulately, and then changed the conversation: "Shouldn't you also fly past the car?" Look at the way your car looks like a race car from a movie, and you've got a girlfriend playing racing......"
"That's not my girlfriend, please, don't reason every day as a romance writer." Zhao Nuo took a sip of soy milk.
- My cousin seems to be curious about her own affairs, but it's better not to let her know about some things, otherwise this guy will be chattering again.
After breakfast, Zhao Nuo turned on the computer, ready to find a game to kill time, Jian Tong also lay on the sofa, opened his laptop with a blue shell, and prepared to start writing a novel.
Then, Zhao Nuo heard a tractor-like sound coming from the sofa.
Looking back at his cousin's laptop, he sighed and said, "How long has your laptop been used?" β
"Four years, what's wrong?" Jian Tong asked suspiciously.
"Well, it looks like it's time for a new one." Zhao Nuo said.
Because of his love for stand-alone games, a desktop computer that can easily replace accessories is the best choice for Zhao Nuo, and the price of using a notebook is not only higher, but it will also heat up after playing for a long time. Even an external fan using the USB port cannot completely solve this problem.
If you want to play single-player games, unless you use a top-of-the-line high-end laptop, you must have the awareness of treating laptops as "consumables". Because it won't take long, the performance of the computer will drop significantly, and then overclocking will further shorten the lifespan, and finally have no choice but to change to a new machine.
In Zhao Nuo's view, the laptop can be used for four years, which is simply a "miracle of life". But even so, it's time to change Jian Tong's machine, and now the noise from the boot is close to Cheng DΓΉ, who is disturbing the people.
Thinking of this, Zhao Nuo said: "How about buying a new one?" I'll go with you. If the computer performance is good, the codeword will be more comfortable. β
"Oh, well, I won't pick it, it's up to you." Jian Tong nodded, frowning and staring at the computer that was still stuck in the boot interface, obviously complaining about the poor performance.
Using his mobile hard disk to copy out all the useful documents and materials in his cousin's computer, Zhao Nuo and Jian Tong took a taxi to the Emperor Shopping Center, went straight to the electronic equipment area on the fourth floor, and then walked to the area where computers were sold.
As soon as I entered, a group of people greeted me, some handing out leaflets and some shouting slogans:
"HP computers are on sale, the original price of 4999 is now only 3399!"
"Lianxiang brand machine sale, big discount!"
"The painting master store is here, please go this way!"
In the face of these enthusiastic publicity, Zhao Nuo really didn't have anything to say, just pulled his cousin into the store quickly, dodged a bunch of salesmen blocking the door, and then began to observe from store to store.
"Why don't you buy it up front? Those people seem to be quite professional. Jian Tong asked.
"There are cheaters in there, and some of them start to reduce prices because they can't be sold, as for the quality of the things that can't be sold, you know." Zhao Nuo stared at the DELL notebook on the counter in front of him and said.
Although he personally prefers assembly machines, Jian Tong wants to buy a laptop, so he can only choose the brand.
For the selection of computers, Zhao Nuo is still very good. Of course, this kind of kung fu is not learned from games, but it is practiced by yourself in order to play games, and many game nerds are able to do it.
The first time he came to buy a computer by himself, Zhao Nuo was also cheated, but later he replaced the accessories by himself, and turned the "garbage" into a machine that could run mainstream high-quality games at that time. Since then, Zhao Nuo has had his own views on buying computers.
After visiting a few stores, he finally found a notebook that looked pretty good, and when Zhao Nuo was about to turn around and say to Jian Tong, he found that his cousin was gone.
"That idiot, where did you go......"
Zhao Nuo looked left and right for a while, and then found his cousin standing about twenty meters away, chatting happily with a handsome guy in black, and then followed the guy to the corner of the store.
β¦β¦
Seeing this scene, Zhao Nuo didn't say anything, just walked over quickly.
Then she saw her cousin sitting on the sofa, listening with interest to the man in black sitting across from her:
"Our store has a lot of agents, they are the best machines purchased by the original factory, and the price can be lower, there are many people outside, I advise you to pay attention, don't be fooled......"
Zhao Nuo walked over without saying a word and sat down next to his cousin.
Seeing him coming, the man in black's voice seemed to be lower, and then quickly returned to normal, and asked, "Hello, may I ask if you are ......?"
"Ah, it's okay, it's my cousin, you go on." Jian Tong patted Zhao Nuo's shoulder with a big grin.
"For example, this A7 notebook will be sold for 5,000 yuan outside, but it will only be sold for 4,299 in our place, because it is purchased directly, and there is no need to go through the intermediary, so the price will be lower......" The man in black said as he took out a pitch-black laptop from the sofa and put it on the glass table in front of him.
Hearing this, Zhao Nuo asked, "Can you turn on the camera and take a look?" We both bought it for the first time and didn't know much about it. β
"Uh...... This machine has been sitting here for a while, it should be in the dust, I'll go get a new one. The man in black finished speaking, and hurried to the shelf next to him.
After seeing this person's behavior, Zhao Nuo at this time could already confirm his doubts, and lowered his voice to Jian Tong's ear and said, "Don't buy it here, this product is a lie." β
"How do you know? I think he's pretty reliable. Jian Tong asked.
"I'll go out and tell you."
As soon as Zhao Nuo finished speaking, he saw a man in black walking over with a notebook. He immediately showed his acting skills, waved his hand apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, my sister suddenly changed her mind to buy a desktop, let's leave first." β
