Just out of curiosity, is it still in warranty?

Oh hell no. I bought the thing back on June 1st of 2021. I think the warranty ran out either 90 days or 1 year after I received it.

BTW, it cost me $2,844.00 back then. I've since upgraded the SDDs and the RAM to where it's worth over $3,100.00 now. It's going to be a bitch to insure for shipping. Mrs. Prof is going to shit bricks.

That's more than all the functional computer and computer like devises I have, combined.  Actually even if I add in the pile of broken screen tables and Chromebooks that have weird failure modes, it's still more.

That is a handy skill, assuming they are a consistent size. You planning to build something?

Didn't know that Mrs. Prof was a wombat.

Just remember, Adobe means dried mud.  Which some time might include dung, granted not human.

Consider what it has in it for a 2021 purchase. It's got an Intel i9 CPU, 32GB RAM, a 512MB NVMe SDD (upgraded to 4TB), and an NVIDIA 3500GTX (I think) GPU. That's still expensive in today's money, and it's needed for my music writing/mastering chores.

What's brown and sounds like a bell? Didn't get the wombat reference, though...

...yeah. I've done both image editing and audio editing on a slow computer with not enough memory. It sucks. When your compressed image file is four times the size of your RAM...

The laptop hasn't left the house yet. Mrs. Prof keeps on promising to get bubble wrap to wrap it per the recommendations of the manufacturer, but she never leaves the house. I'm about to start a major "bitch at the wife" campaign to get her off her ass.
