I have been eying the new Dell XPS 15, but waiting for it to drop in price a bit.

What's your use case?

Depends on what you need out of it. Half the whole thing with PCs is that you get to find the configuration right for you rather than being boxed in with one of the few Mac variants

For personal use, built my own desktop and have a 6-7 yo random Acer laptop that's nothing special. Mostly use the desktop for games, and the laptop when desktop mode in chrome on my cellphone doesn't cut it. Actual work is all in the cloud where I commission absurd configurations you can't get in a laptop anyway

Folks, I've recently moved to the U.S. and healthcare here is a maze, even if I have health coverage through the job. I've been wanting to see a therapist and it feels like it is quite expensive to see one. I'm on a HDP PPO plan and essentially I was told I pay $250 a session till I spend ~$7000, and then insurance copay kicks in. Seriously at a loss if I'm missing something or if folks spend the same on seeing a therapist. I'm curious as to how a lot of folks are able to afford the price tag.
