Making sure that I don't break anything before the holidays start in a few hours. Out from this afternoon until the kiddos are back in school on Jan 8.

We've been using Acer and Asus for a few years now and are SO much happier. Hardware costs a fraction as much and just works. Just bought another laptop this week, $299. Can't beat that. And staff is super happy with that gear.
Curious on which hardware you're comparing? What are all of the specs of the $299 Acer/Asus hardware? What did you compare it against on the Lenovo side?
I've been looking at the ASUS Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED UP5302 (I'm an Asus fan), but that is over $1k. I looked at some Lenovo contenders, similarly priced to those specs. The Asus isn't exactly a fraction of the cost, but nonetheless I'd still go with the Asus.

Bah humbug.

Oh the horror..
Installing Windows on the Custom Built Gaming PC for myself. This is the first new PC for me in a long time, and the first custom build I have done, and first GAMING PC I've built..
GAH - what have I done.

@gjacobse sounds like fun
I always build my own PC's as I have to slowly upgrade as budget permits.
Franken PCs are the thing for me. -

Franken PCs are the thing for me.I never gamed until the last few years, and had mainly used laptops for my general daily workings.
Last new desktop I had was the one NTG sent me when I started, which was 2015 or so. That pc still runs for one of the kids. I picked up a Dell 8700 for me, it it was already used… -
Oh, and merry Christmas to us, kid was a passenger in a single vehicle car wreck.
Driver lost control on wet roads. Shaken and stirred but other wise oka.

Haven't played anything really since 2018.
Just can't get back into it after taking a year off.Really broke that habit... At least my future PC builds will be less expensive

Another thing for me to run in Powershell. -
Doing tests to generate logs for VMware to prove that something's gone wrong with their Aria - Ansible integration.

Decided to go the route of Python + Kivy / KivyMD for my app. Progress has been slow but steady. Doing things, then testing with a ton of data and finding out it's super inefficient, reworking things and trying different approaches, seeing the improvements in real time. Good times! The app is actually becoming functionally useful to myself while building it out.

choco install speedtest. So much faster than loading an add laden website. -
I can’t believe the cost of this cart minus the PC and monitor:
And it’s something I think I could build better…

The trashcan water cooler has to be the most expensive item on there!

@DustinB3403
Uh - I am sure that is suppose to be a joke. But it's just a trash can that I didn't mount. Mainly due to just setting one up as a test to see how it will work, and if the battery will last.It is literally a rolling cart with a 500w inverter, battery charger and 40Ah battery with battery gauge. I question if the battery as is will last an 8 hour shift...
