I had a really spirited debate with myself on whether or not I should get a new laptop. My current one is a Dell that’s 5 years old and the keyboard is starting to go. Now that should have been about $50 or so but I got to thinking that it’s time for a new one. I know I’m between jobs but Sarondy LLC had about $3500 in an account and I decided to run with it. Picked up an Asus FA707XV-MS94 from Microcenter in Dallas along with a 32GB RAM upgrade.

• AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics 4.00 GHz
• 16.0 GB (15.2 GB usable)
• 1TB WD PC SN560 SDDPNQE-1T00-1002

So far it’s a screaming laptop and I’m happy with it. Doesn’t seem to have an access port to install the memory upgrade but I’m still digging into it. This laptop should last me through the rest of the decade hopefully.
