          Hey Liam I have another favor to ask. That one you linked is good enough you said but I can afford $1,000 for this. Can you find me a better one? Or is that one good enough?

          foe some reason $500 sounds too cheap but what do I know.

            I'd start here Joe. I wish it had a 1 TB hard drive but it might be good enough with 512 GB.

                Wow, that sold out fast. That Dell at Amazon will work just fine but for same $$ you can get a 13th gen i7 😉

                      For the same $$ the one I listed is better. How much better?

                      Considerably better in my opinion, for the same $$.

                          Best of luck with which ever decision you go with. I just bought a new Dell XPS 8950 for work and I love it! Mine was a bit over $3k but it has to last for 4-5 years. It runs all my applications with ease. Specs are listed under my posts.
