Since I don't have $63K I'm sticking with my 6 year old Acer, which has been given new life with a Samsung SSD and NVidia graphics performance that gives me 10,000 fps on the desktop and 500 fps in Minecraft. It works faster than I can think or type."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

My spare parts desktop and my low mileage survivor laptop cost me less than $1000.00 - together, even with an updated Nvidia card and a new spacious case for the desktop.
System 76 is not likely to ever get any of my cash with their prices (and a free OS).The next brick house on the left

Boy, ain't that the reality of it! I built my current PC in 2015, most major parts were new (mobo, CPU, P/S, memory), the rest re-used, say total cash out was maybe $1100 or so. My backup machine I built in 2009 and has 18.04 loaded on it just in case ... Both monitors are old, 2009 and older (one is CRT), working just fine.My spare parts desktop and my low mileage survivor laptop cost me less than $1000.00 - together ...An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way.

CRT?!?!?!?!?
Wow, my last CRT pooped out a couple of years ago. I didn't realize how really nice the modern presentation layer looked until I got the replacement (on sale!) 22" flat panel
