    Flashback to 2008 when I wanted a portable PC to play TF2 and WoW and LAN parties. I looked around and all gaming laptops were like 18lbs, had 1.5 hour battery life, and were insanely loud.

    Bought a 15” MacBook Pro. Installed Windows on it. Tiny, 5lb machine that’s almost always silent. Dedicated GPU. Better processor than any PC laptop.

    Only problem was, it was like 2k moneys.

        Hahaha I wish! It had accident protection and had an… unfortunate… sticky… sugar… accident a month before the protection was up.

        Got me upgraded to an early 2011 MBP that I still use and love (with 16GB RAM and a SSD, of course.)

        These shits last forever. Just wish I could upgrade it past High Sierra. Or figure out an easy way to back up my 160GB of photos. Love this laptop but the lil shit has USB2.
