Holy cow. This thing is magic. It's light as a feather, and it's silent as an owl at night. It has no fan, so it's completely silent. And then atop that, the battery lasts forever. I'm no longer tethered to an outlet. I just charge it at night and don't worry about the battery during the day. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Thanks! I know they are good but unfortunately I can’t part with a kidney
lol

Anyone know any fairly cheap laptops? I think I’m going to save up for a nice gaming PC and I do have an IPad. But if I go back to school I may need a laptop. Heck I’d love a MacBook I just don’t know if that would be the smartest option for me

Don't know what you may be going back to school for, but if it is anything finance or accounting related don't get a MacBook. You'll be using Excel a lot and the Excel version on the Mac doesn't support a large number of accounting functions built into Excel for the PC.
We found that out the hard way when my oldest daughter was working on her MBA. We ended up having to buy a Dell laptop for her to use in her accounting classes.
