games. I can build 9 more before I hit the price of yours.
:-)
Of course, I can't carry it anywhere easily.
I used to be all about buying as much as I could afford, now it's buy as
little as I need to do what I need now, and buy more often as tech
requirements go up. I find that now I spend a fraction of what it cost
before and I'm actually more current.
But I'm envious of laptops. Although that beast of yours weighs like 10
pounds I'll bet.
