You have got to be high if you think I can afford that laptop all I can pay for a computer is 100 dollars no more since I get 100 dollars a month
I don’t understand why laptops are over a hundred dollars when you cant even watch anything free on them Netflix cost money and Hulu you have to be rich these days to even get a computer
