College Student Asking Gaming Laptop From Ted Failon Elicits Reactions Online
Veteran broadcaster Ted Failon was momentarily speechless when a college student on the line made an unexpected request for a gaming laptop.
A gaming laptop is a high-performance laptop designed specifically for playing video games. Unlike regular laptops, it has powerful hardware, including a fast processor, high-end graphics card (GPU), more RAM, and a high-refresh-rate display. These features allow it to run demanding games smoothly.
Gaming laptops often have better cooling systems, customizable RGB lighting, and mechanical-style keyboards. They are also used for tasks like video editing, 3D rendering, and programming due to their strong performance capabilities.
Recently, the Facebook page “McPinas Channel” shared a live video of a college student asking Ted Failon for a gaming laptop. The video garnered various reactions from the online community.
The caller, an HRM student, reached out to Ted to share her struggles, mentioning that his father was currently in the hospital. Moved by his situation, Ted generously offered to help by providing her with school essentials, including a pair of pants and other necessities.
However, when Ted asked if there was anything else the student needed, the conversation took an unexpected turn. The caller confidently asked for a gaming laptop (Lenovo Legion 5), which costs between P90,000 to P120,000.
The unusual request surprised many viewers, considering the caller’s earlier mention of financial difficulties.
While Ted was willing to extend help, he did not grant the request for the expensive laptop. Instead, he responded with a hopeful remark, stating that one day, the caller’s father might be able to buy it for her.
Many netizens found the request funny, while others questioned whether it was appropriate given the situation.
Regardless, the moment stood out as a reminder that while generosity is valuable, setting boundaries is just as important.
The social media users expressed their reactions to the student’s request:
