For me it has to be:

  1. Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
  2. Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
  4. Books ($0 @ library)
    • "Ultralearning" - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
    • "Enlightenment Now" - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
    • "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
  5. PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I'm searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you've got.

I'm needing a new laptop soon, been considering either a Dell XPS 15 or a Microsoft surface laptop. Almost settled on the dell, but the quality of the Microsoft hardware intrigues me.

[-] cullvox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The quality was one of the major reasons I choose this laptop. I think that in some laptops Dell and other brands have come close to getting that feeling, but comparatively they just feel a little cheaper on the average. I looked at MacBook's for a while for this reason too, they got some good hardware too but really depends on what you'll be doing with it. I don't see myself programming on a MacBook the way that I want to.

Yeah I'll be starting either computer science or software engineer BS from WGU in a few months. I've also looked at getting a MacBook, I just really think Macintosh will limit me, I also can't stand the apple ecosystem. The dell XPS is a bit cheaper than the Microsoft surface, but definitely seeing lots of people living their devices with Microsoft, and Dell seems to always have quality control problems.

A while ago I thought the same thing about Apple and then I realized that it's just really easy comparatively. But yeah I'm doing something similar going into computer science. Depends on what surface you get, I got a refurbished Surface Book 3 on Amazon which is always a gamble but it was significantly cheaper, mine looked and felt completely new when I got it. Been holding up well so far.
