This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Again... Not about the price or innovation. I assume that you're a student. So my suggestion is that you don't look at it as an awesome thing but as a tool to learn awesome things with.
I'm an engineer. I don't look at a computer with any sort of impressive response. I use the computers I have at my disposal to their max capacity.
For example, I have a 90+ core system with 200+ gb of ram specifically for finite element analysis using PrePoMax an open-source FEA program. No movies or entertainment games or anything to be impressed about. Just members in, numbers out. That's all there's to it.
My other computer is much less impressive and its for CAD, presentations, documentation and research. I'm just saying, they're tools. It's not like having a sound at home that you can ride
