I feel like I see a fair amount of gaming laptops in the US but a majority of people seem to still game on desktop. I guess what I am looking for is a ratio of one versus the other otherwise a country like China might dominate on numbers alone.

When looking for searching online for this I was mostly coming across pros and cons lists. This isn’t what I am after.

      Thank you for responding. This is the kind of information I was after.

      How do you find the used market in Brazil?

      Is there a market for buying traditional office PCs and adding a graphics card like there is here in the US?

      I’m not sure I follow this, desktops are generally cheaper. And if a part is bad you can replace just that part, you have better cooling so things should last longer, and you can buy and sell parts. So both short and long term it should be cheaper.

      if you have to pay 20x the minimum wage for a computer,

      Hourly? Daily?

      In America that would be: 150 or 1,200

      But that’s gross, I don’t know how different taxes are.

      But I thought prices were high due to tarrifs? Surely some basic parts could be bought without tarrifs. Especially just the savings of being able to hook up to any TV as a monitor.

      It makes it easier to upgrade slowly overtime to, which helps with the tariffs.

        Minimum wage in Brazil is around $280 per month. So we’re probably talking about monthly wages here.
