Good morning! This is Pochi.
This time, IThe story of how I was almost sold a 400,000 yen PC, but was saved by AI and got my dream gaming PC for 220,000 yen.I will do it.
I tried to start my creative activities without being very familiar with computers,"I want to do video editing, I want to try out Live2D, and I want to make anime..." And yet, their dreams are big,I have zero knowledge of computers.。
In that state, I was searching for a PC based on information I found online.
── Before I knew it400,000 yenI was stuck on the estimate.
"Wait... PCs are this expensive...?" "But if you want to do everything you want to do, I guess there's no other way...?"
What saved me from being completely trapped in a swamp of anxiety was, The option of consulting with AIThat's it.
This article is,
This is based on my personal experience.
I hope this will be helpful for anyone looking to buy a PC for creative work.
The first obstacle I encountered the moment I decided I wanted to work as a creator was...PC specifications issueThat's it.
The one I was using at the time was a home laptop,LIFEBOOK AH30/B3」。
It's fine for browsing the internet and watching videos, but frankly, its performance is quite insufficient for creative work.
"This PC just won't do it..."Having realized this,“"Buy a PC for creators"” And so I made my decision.
But as a complete PC novice, I don't even know how to read specs.
There are so many things I want to do, I have absolutely no idea what kind of PC I should choose.
So I thought, I'll leave the PC selection entirely to AI.I chose this method.
Video editing and Live2D productionI want to do animation and game recording, but what kind of PC would be best? A laptop would be good.
These are the minimum specifications required.
I had the AI tell me the necessary specifications, and severalRecommended ManufacturersWe picked out some and investigated the characteristics of each.
among them,"The support seems thorough and reassuring."I found a manufacturer that I think is great.
"This place seems like a safe place for beginners to buy from!" Thinking that, I entered the specifications that the AI had given me and created a quote.
And the displayed amount was—
400,000 yen!
I did a double-take at the screen.
"What... 400,000 yen...?" "Are PCs really that expensive...?"
I'd heard that PCs for creators were expensive, but I never imagined they'd be this pricey.
Faced with the estimate of 400,000 yen, I was completely stunned.
"Is this normal...? Do creator-grade PCs really cost this much...?"
I was on the verge of exploding with anxiety, so I decided to consult the AI again.
It costs over 400,000 yen, is that normal?
400,000 yen is way too expensive!
I've completely fallen into the trap of customization!
Instead of upgrading the memory, look for a model that comes with 32GB of RAM from the start.
Please consider changing manufacturers.
The AI's response was unexpected."Too expensive!""That's all he said."
To be honest, I felt relieved, but at the same time, I also wondered, "So what was I even looking at...?"
Beginners,
That was exactly me.
Which manufacturer do you recommend?
Dospara ★ Highly Recommended
It is one of the most famous computer shops in Japan and operates the extremely popular brand GALLERIA.
I had just seen a quote of 400,000 yen,"Wow, it's less than half price...!"I was shocked.
"I have no choice but to investigate this!" I thought, and immediately checked Dospara's official website.
I was checking out what kind of PCs were available on Dospara's official website when...
What caught my eye was"Outlet"It was the word "...".
Initially, "Does 'outlet' mean secondhand goods...?" I was worried, but upon closer inspection, the explanation said“"Cancelled, unused item"”That's what it said.
In other words── A "like-new" PC that was ordered but then cancelled.“。
Moreover, looking at the specifications, it not only meets all the conditions I was given by the AI, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and the latest GPU.The ideal configuration.
"Is this really an outlet item...?" Still skeptical, I sent the URL to the AI to check.
Is this PC any good? Apparently it's an outlet item...
Yes, this is absolutely a great option and the best choice!
It comes with the latest graphics, 32GB of memory, and a 1TB SSD right out of the box. And it's affordable!
Please note that outlet items are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
The biggest reason I didn't have to buy a 400,000 yen PC was that "I consulted with AI about everything." That sums it up.
For me, a PC novice who didn't understand the meaning of specifications or the differences between manufacturers, AI was like a "calm and collected advisor."
And what I ultimately chose was,「GALLERIA RL7C-R56-5NThis is a gaming laptop.
Since it was an unused outlet item,220,000 yenI was able to purchase it there.
I wish I could tell my past self, who was trembling after seeing the 400,000 yen estimate, about this.
For people who want to do creative work, These specs for 220,000 yen is truly an incredible bargain.That's what I heard.
What did you think?
Choosing a PC can be difficult, and the abundance of technical jargon can easily make you feel anxious.
but,By consulting with AI, even beginners can find their ideal PC without unnecessary expenses.I really felt that.
I hope this article will be helpful for those who are currently choosing a PC.
