Macs are pretty good if you just need everything to "work" - models 2/3 years ago still v good and < 1000$. Gaming is a whole other story tho.

Gaming has nothing to do with not being grown up. You going out and getting trashed like an idiot is what should be getting told to grow up.

Lenovo x260. Can't beat that 8-10 hour battery life. That it t460 are both exceptional work horses. However not fantastic for gaming anything other than Age of Empires (wololo)

^ gaming? Grow up, Count Chocola. @op I got HP Envy a few months ago for < $1k and it's great so far. Lenovo thinkpad also good. Do NOT buy Lenovo Yoga.

Just got Dell XPS 13 and couldn't be happier, but it is >1k

I have two laptops. Mac for personal use and a cheap dell for working remotely.

Hi! This is a question directed to my Canadian tech folks... How do I get a job in the US? I'm currently a Canadian citizen and I keep seeing a lot of opportunities in the US, but some of the opportunities I see say that they will not be offering visas... So if anyone has any advice on how to go about doing this, it would be greatly appreciated! The pay I'm currently getting is not good for the amount of work I'm doing...
