Forums - PC - Good laptop online dealers in Norway ?

Mummelmann on 26 December 2013

The Elkjøp websites are lacking in inventory, they basically leave a bunch of goods out of their online selection to make you physically go into a store, they have also been caught cheating with "sale" advertisement where they mark the wares up for about a week and then take it back down to the original retail price with a "sale" sticker attached, legal but immoral.
Another trick they employ so they won't be so easily compared to other online stores is renaming the products, this is also legal and in-line with the policies of their manufacturers agreement; they change for instance a washing machine "Electrolux 1200B-112C" into "Electrolux 1200B-115C (or perhaps "B"), this lends the appearance that these are in fact different models when they are not.

I try to avoid most large electronics stores in Norway, they all employ these strategies to some extent but Elkjøp is probably among the worst. Also; don't buy any stupid insurances people will try to peddle on you, all of it is mostly covered by reclamation rights and the fairly broad guarentees from the manufacturers by default as well as a very extensive purchase law in Norway.

Good luck!

I didn't explain myself as I should.

I agree that any coin that is bot bitcoin or litecoin, are trash coins. But still people are willing to trade trashcoins for btc.

The way I face mining is: mine whatever low difficulty scrypt based currencies there is. Sell them for bitcoins or litecoins at the height of the bubble.

So, typical gambling fallacy. You believe you are smarter than the market and know the right time to get out. LOL.

I don't take anything for guaranteed. But when you can create value out of thin air, why the fuck shouldn't I do it ? And if I want to do, I'm gonna use an AMD card. The laptop won't be mining exclusively of course. Mining is just a nice extra and the number 1 activity, but I can still browse the internet and watch some movies, and some games here and then, it also performs nicely. 

And I believe cryptocurrencies are money 2.0

Like cars in the late 1800's were horse 2.0

 

@ mummel:

You're still spending more/differently than you would if mining wasn't a priority.

So it's not out of thin air, you have to make back the extra money you spent on the mining value of the PC.
