Don't Chromebook, they suck. Three died to one decent laptop.

Example Asus ROG. Have a 17" sitting next to me with 16GB of ram and 8-10 years old. Still works better than new chrome books

https://rog.asus.com/Laptops/ROG-Strix-Series

Many under $2000

If you want power capable of doing crunching look at gaming machines, always built computers for people to gaming specs regardless...machines lasted a decade plus instead of 2-3 years or less.

 

15" for $1729 or $1089

ASUS ROG Strix Hero Edition Gaming Laptop, on Amazon

HISTORY/REMINDER

 

The Feuding Fathers

Americans lament the partisan venom of today's politics, but for sheer verbal savagery, the country's founders were in a league of their own. Ron Chernow on the Revolutionary origins of divisive discourse.

In the American imagination, the founding era shimmers as the golden age of political discourse, a time when philosopher-kings strode the public stage, dispensing wisdom with gentle civility. We prefer to believe that these courtly figures, with their powdered hair and buckled shoes, showed impeccable manners in their political dealings. The appeal of this image seems obvious at a time when many Americans lament the partisan venom and character assassination that have permeated the political process.

Unfortunately, this anodyne image of the early republic can be quite misleading. However hard it may be to picture the founders resorting to rough-and-tumble tactics, there was nothing genteel about politics at the nation's outset.For sheer verbal savagery, the founding era may have surpassed anything seen today.

>Don't forget dueling was legal back then.

Aye, though violence is the lesser method it is a much quicker, and (often) permanent resolution to conflicts.

>There is no doubt that we are in the end times. The time has come for the final battle. It’s coming. We all know, those of us who believe, that the mark is coming.

Heard that somewhere before…
