Picking a new computer:

1998: "Everything's twice as fast as it was last year! So much choice! So many options!"

2018: "OK, so which of these fucking things is the least broken?"

Trick question, they're all borked as hell

@architect @pixelguff I decided to get a new laptop months ago. Every time I sit down and order one, I discover how bad they all are. There is not a single computer available which has even most of the features I need.

It's also not helped by the fact that all the vendors make it extremely difficult to figure out precisely what they are offering.

For a fun pop quiz: Try to find out which Lenovo laptop can take 32 GB RAM.
