    What does being 30 have to do with anything?

    It’s just that the guy kept saying you were 30 so I just figured I’d politely correct his error

    So Steam must be popular because its what I happened to install. Seems goid to me.

    Also, updates are small little commands you run. On Steam its just a button. I'm not sure why you think its a hassle...maybe you use Windows.

    One problem I am having is getting my Occulus Rift to work with Linux.

    §m£ÂgØL, this is what I'm probably going to order: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=1TS-000X-00P95&cm_re=E5-575g-57d4-_-1TS-000X-00P95-_-Product

    Better information here: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-E5-575G-57D4-15-6-Inches-Notebook-i5-7200U/dp/B01LD4MGY4#productDetails

    It's a great deal. The laptop is pretty much perfect for my needs.

    Looks good, but that's expensive.

    Gonna be attempting my laptop replacement soon. Bit scared of the static, really bad this time of year. I have a humidifier to help. Can't even pet my 9 dogs without shocking myself.

    If you just want a laptop to write on, surf the internet on etc look up government surplus sites and look at their electronics sections. When I was doing my iced tea project I used these sites to look for a van and they have a ton of potentially useful shit there.

    Didn't know this was a thing, awesome.

    I'll probably get a cheapo then build my own.

    Yeah, universities and shit need to get rid of their pretty good stuff every few years or so.

    yep

    ~900 USD? You could do better for that price


    ***Didn't notice the dedicated GPU, not a bad deal, but I'd still stay away from Acer, myself

    You don't necessarily have to buy brand new for laptops. If you needed a desktop, I'd recommend you build your own. If you want a laptop you can buy new or buy refurbished. I buy refurbished all of the time and have yet to have an issue. You just gotta buy from a quality refurbisher. Joy Systems Inc. is a good one.

    I particularly recommend Lenovo brand laptops, (or MSI), but this is totally your choice. Browse their shit. They have a lot and its all backed with a 1 year warranty, the same you'd get from an "off the shelf" store.

    all old, non amd computers are more susceptible to it.
