Eeeee!

I just got approval to 'trade in' my work laptop for a new one.

I really wanted to get away from Intel, which is hard because we're a Dell house. They literally only have like, 4 laptops have any sort of Ryzen processor and they're all part of their home Inspiron line, which usually has some bad deck flex. Ugh!

So I did some digging and found the ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED with a Ryzen 9 89445HS, 16GB of RAM, a 2TB SSD, Wifi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and a 120Hz screen. It fell in what felt a reasonable cost -- high enough to be considered CAPEX but low enough I didn't stress I was pushing my damn luck on price.

(I'm already pushing it based off not getting a Dell.)

But this thing looks clean as fuck, y'all. I can't wait. The only disappointment is it only comes with 16GB of RAM, but I can live with it.

Edit: The RAM is soldered; I can't upgrade it. Oh well.
