@djmpb looks like a cool place, wouldn't mind a visit some day

@XSGeek I intend to stick with 10 for the foreseeable future, the new versions tend to have enough issues out of the gate that I don't see it necessary to upgrade.

Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce on the decorative bookshelf?🤔

@Killthorne Wow, haven't heard this one in probably a decade. One of my faves. Their song High Voltage is also great.

@BlueStateBabe I'd get it.

@BlueStateBabe The SSD upgrade alone necessitates a new laptop and that's likely where a lot of your issues are if it's a few years old. That and the RAM are the biggest improvements. Processors these days are a lot more powerful than many people need them to be and I'd wager that you'd do just as fine on an i5 with an SSD and RAM upgrade.

@BlueStateBabe I'd say the processor is overkill. Mine the 8th gen version and I don't even come close to bottlenecking it. But yeah the supply issues are showing. It's absolutely a safe buy if you like the price and size of it.

@mcfate Ah, right on. Well then for price and purpose I'd say it's a good choice.

@BlueStateBabe Mostly, yeah. I mean it'll do the work well, can't really go wrong then. If you like it, I'll vouch for MSI.

@mcfate Hm. I figured if it had an x60 or higher it would be on the ad.

@BlueStateBabe I'm on an MSI and have been for the last several years, an MSI GS65 Stealth Thin and it's performed wonderfully. MSI is a good brand IMO, though I've heard RMA customer service is a nightmare if you need them.

I haven't.

That said, I think the sale price is closer to the regular price that it should be. I wouldn't pay that much for a laptop that didn't have a dedicated GPU, but that one would perform well for regular applications.

@dz What a sweet little thing, she's so precious.

It was a good day here.🙏

@cornered Good enough for a laugh I'd say. I'll give it a B.

@cornered Pretty sure it is, kinda looks like if you look at the edges of the dogs.

@redenigma Wow that is just terrible. Absolutely horrible.😶
