✅StrawPolls: Have you bought a new computer in the past 2 years?

Comments

I bought mine Pre-built in June 2024 for £998 (excl Tax/Vat) excluding the RTX4070 that I already had for £490 (excl Tax/Vat in April 2023.)
Not interested in building my own anymore.
Fortunately bought my new rig in 2023 😅
My newest computer is a laptop from from 2021
Last December I acquired a new to me Latitude via a trade. In March I purchased a new base model M4 Mac Mini to better familiarize myself with modern macOS for work. I also have various computers I’ve picked up from the recycling at work, but those don’t count as purchases. 😀

For example, building solid touch-typing habits first, then moving into a structured Vim motions curriculum with guided lessons and focused practice drills. You can track WPM and accuracy as you go.
