Augusta, is there any particular reason to avoid HP?
Bad rep when it comes to their laptops.
I don't doubt they worked hard to make their new line better considering their previous models were absolute trash but I personally would never buy another hp laptop again.

Sager/Clevo has some pretty good stuff.
I've had a clevo for the past year and am pretty happy with it.

Just be aware that battery life is going to suck on a gaming notebook.

Asus would be my answer. Laptops are good, but not great for gaming. Also if you have the best mobile graphics cards on your laptop, be prepared to have your lap on fire just like Rydian said. My 2010 15" MBP with a GeForce GT 330M heats up pretty bad when playing games (Fallout 3 on max for example). Also having a ton of HDD space on a laptop is a bit of a waste IMO. Sure it's nice to not need to delete anything, but the overall power consumption rises quite fast. Having a single SSD (256 or 512 GB) will keep you going for a long time. If you really need more space, get an external USB 3.0/Thunderbolt HDD. It's not like you really need all the data at a single time :P

Extra RAM is nice, but 32GB for gaming is over the top. Before the limits of the 32 GB start closing in, your Graphics card and CPU will have become obsolete in terms of power :3

    If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem

    And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

    @K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy

    Just go gummy, ancientboi would like you better that way anyways, and you save money on toothbrushes/toothpaste
  • cearp @ cearp:
    @Sicklyboy I agree, but also it's about self control and realistic thinking. We wouldn't feed a dog soda, so why feed it to ourselves? Eating unhealthy food because it's cheap is one thing, but I'm sure you know people who drink soda routinely when they should be drinking water which is free.
    I get it can feel mean to say "no treat sweet beverage for you anymore" but for many people it's just in their way of life.

    I drink soda twice out of the week
