New Computer
Folks, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the past 20 years. I can say that being in R&E world, but also as a consumer of products. I recently went to change my 6 year old laptop with something new for my hobbies like gaming and graphics. I realized that my laptop was probably taking up a lot of space and energy and wow have we come forward. I have replaced my laptop with this little box below. After testing, it runs all the programs I need better than my old laptop and it only cost $200.
Downside of course is that it requires a screen, mouse, and keyboard (as well as headphones), but it's wifi and bluetooth built in. Very cool!

Re: New Computer
Interested. I use a laptop as my base computer. I use an external mouse, keyboard and screen. I like the size of that. You loaded all of the "stuff" in that box?
Time to go fishin' again!

Yes! everything runs perfectly fine like a regular desktop. It's really impressive and uses an insane small amount of power. My friend who is in IT said he has 3 of these with no issues.

Intersting
I'm in the market but 10 years ago got sold on Apple products. One screen which has everything.
But I do like that price ....
