this reminds me that I have to buy a computer for my daughter because she is going to college.
That is exactly why I am posting this. I’m online helping my son look for his 1st year University Computer. At the moment he just has a Chrome book…
If your budget is somewhat more than you can go with ASUS TUF series. I recently bought that in March and the laptop is beast in its price segment.
Asus Tuf F17 that's what i bought but if it is for your son then i would ask if weight of the laptop will not be a problem ?
There is F15 as well. HPs are also good but they are a bit expensive. I got intel processor and i recommend that on ryzen.
Can you go with MSI ? if yes then do tell me i will tell you some models. And also search for a laptop with RTX 30 series graphic card as they are the latest and more powerful than the 1660 or 1650.
I will ask him about MSI… weight might be an issue.
If there is some upward momentum in the crypto market, I will deal with the same sweet problem. It is a very old model that I am using now and it cannot keep up with my speed. :D
Some crypto is up.
If you are diversified there is always some upward momentum.
I buy the dips and sell the All Time or near term Highs….
And then buy stuff.
