Hi folks, I don't ski and I'm not interested in learning anything new.

Recommend me a turnkey skis/binders/boots/poles/onsie/goggles/helmet solution that'll have me looking good at Breck.

Buy bespoke components and build your own thing, Chupei. It's better.
Or shop around for off-lease enterprise gear you can hop up. It's cheaper.
Or envision a grand unified system of networked computers and media and home devices, and engineer a topology and construct that structure, the way one might build a table in the woodshop, or a deck.

If they remake office space the movie can there be a scene about the right cover sheet on the TPM reports?

Bump, back to shopping, as the Windows 10 end date approaches. I'm considering grabbing this while on sale - specs seem like it'll be future proof for awhile:

In case that price doesn't show, it's $679 for an Asus tower, Intel Core i7-13620H Processor - 1TB SSD - Windows 11 Home, 32 gb RAM.

I think I may grab it while on sale, and look for other PC deals during the July 4th and Amazon Prime sale days ahead. I can return it easily to Costco if I find something else.

Look for refurbished, once a computer has been returned/ the box has been openned they can not sell it as new I bought a Lenovo LT and it worked fine
