This was golden. Time for analysis.
"The best recommendation I can give you for a gaming laptop is to buy a gaming desktop."
You begin by saying "the best recommendation I can give you for a gaming laptop" and then end with "is to buy a gaming desktop." You should note that you specifically said "for a gaming laptop" in your sentence which implies that your recommendation is about gaming laptops. To tell him that he should buy a gaming desktop is not a recommendation about gaming laptops. Ergo, this sentence doesn't make sense.
"The second best recommendation I would give you is to buy everything from Europe. Anything else is a waste of time and money."
Taking into consideration that this is a Lebanese board, let us assume neonsun lives in Lebanon. In this sentence, you state that he should buy everything from Europe and that anything else is a waste of time and money. Let us first deal with the issue of money. To say something is a "waste of money" is to posit that whatever object was involved in the transaction is not worth the value of the money spent. This would only make sense if, say, for example, neonsun was held at gunpoint and forced to buy something he didn't want or didn't value. In such a case, the value of the money to him would be greater than the value of the object, and thus we would have a "waste of money." Fortunately, neonsun is buying his gaming computer on his own inclination and is willing to pay a certain amount for it. By definition, neonsun thus values the object (in this case, the computer) as much as his money, and so the transaction is no longer a "waste of money."
Moving on to the issue of time, it makes no sense to purchase things from Europe over purchasing things from Lebanon when one is worried about time. Again, we will assume neonsun is in Lebanon. If he were to head down to any computer store or to place an order over the internet, he would have his product within a few days if not on the very same day he decided to buy it. If, however, taking into consideration neonsun was in Lebanon, he decided to purchase his items from Europe, not only would he never be able to get it during the same day he makes the order, but it would probably take no less than a week for him to finally receive the computer. On this notion then, your thoughts of what is a waste of time are flawed. On the contrary, to save time, neonsun should NOT buy his products from Europe.
Do not be so rash with your words, sir. Remember, the fool speaks because he has to say something. The wise man speaks because he has something to say.
Cheerio, and may the fires of Akatosh light your way.
