Price range?
Do you have a preference when it comes to screen size?
Windows/Chrome/Mac?

Under $1k
13-15 inches
No real preference but I'm most familiar with Windows.

Entertaining piece. I think if you read between the lines, though, what you see is that Limbaugh followed rather than led his audience (and the rightist movement in America) through its decline. Probably generally true that people confuse an audience saying, "this guy is saying stuff I already agree with so I like him," with an audience blindly following a leader.

Anyway, what percentage of people have general principles that they apply to derive specific political positions? As opposed to having inconsistent gut reactions that they try to map onto principles. Obviously 100% of people are not successful at that mission all the time, and it's probably not a good thing anyway--which is why conservatism has value if you don't take it too far (excessive ideological rigidity is the problem with Communists and libertarians, for example, and leads them to cruel and absurd positions). But how many even try or even get to the point where they should start worrying about too much rather than not enough?

Well said, glad I asked.

oh damn, under 1k pretty much means you can pick and choose what you want
I figured you meant under $300 for something cheap

Bigger screen then you wanted but it is a nice laptop and $200 off the price

That's the one I was going to recommend. I bough an ASUS Zenbook in like 2009. The thing ran strong until about 2016 when it would start to bluescreen. Got the HD replaced and it lasted again until 2019 when it started doing that again so something other than the HD is probably starting to die in it. Got about a decade of use out of it.

1k for a non gaming laptop is a pretty expensive laptop. Like, MacBook level

You can get a good i5 processor windows laptop for $400

$1k will actually get you a halfway decent gaming laptop. I just bought mine for $900

This might make it clear I’m not tech savvy but what’s the best option on a laptop where I want enough ports to handle 3 external monitors and also have 3 USB ports for wireless mouse, keyboard and headset? Does something like that exist or is it extensive enough that you might as well have a desktop?

I guess I am losing my touch

You want me to do it again!?!?

 

[irish_thug]

Not gonna lie, I'm kind of impressed.

My homophobia strongest shows that I hate when I have to shower in places where I have to place the shampoo on the ground. I secretly fear I might accidentally slip and land on it with my butt

Having 3 ports for monitors is going to be very hard to find and would require a larger laptop in order to house those ports, I am not even sure if such a laptop exists. Most I can find will have an additional HDMI or Display port. The 3 USB ports is not hard to find at all, at least.

Yea, I was thinking 1 mini display, 1 HDMI, but then I still would need 4 USB ports or a second mini/HDMI to get there. I haven’t found anything like that. Seems like laptops are limited to two external monitors if you have all those other devices.

With laptops getting thinner it feels like they are really limiting the amount of ports on each model
I checked microcenter and best buy but could not find anything with the amount of ports you are looking for

Sad what that band turned into. I should walk myself over to Dustin's Church and tell him how disappointed I am in him.

Please do.
