 If bitcoin breaks $100,000 I might splurge and replace my 5 year old laptop. 
 Will you be paying the merchant in sats? 
 If possible, though I tend to buy open platforms like purism and system76 and last I checked they don't accept it. 
 I just buy used Thinkpads and install Linux. I like System 76 but feel I get more for my money from a used laptop. 
 That's how I roll. 
 same lol 
 What's the current laptop? 
 I might finally build Talos II POWER9 workstation at home. 
 Check out framework. 
 So fiat, keep the laptop until is explodes!!!! Jk. 😘 
 🤣🤣🤣 
 it better not do it before february! my next bitcoin-denominated payday 
 Still waiting to replace my 2014 MBP 😄 
 I just bought a refurbished 5 year old laptop. I also use a powerful desktop though. 
 it only makes sense to get a new computer if it is not doing what you need it to.  So unless you started gaming or something on new AAA titles I doubt you need it. 
 A few months ago my laptop started having a memory leak or something and has to be restarted every few days or it slows to a crawl due to running out of RAM & swap. 
 Using chrome eh? 😝  
 Thinking similar, but desktop upgrade for me. Would like to play CS2 on more than Med graphics.  
 I'm shorter about you on time preference.. I haven't replace my 7 years old one yet! 🤣🎩⚡💜🧡 
 Getting a framework laptop next? I have been using Thinkpad T series since the T60, but the quality and repairability seems to get worse with every new model that comes out. 
 Framework? Worth it? 
 From the reviews and buzz around it they seem like a good choice, still a bit of "beta" feel to it. Hope it's still around by the time my current thinkpad needs replacing 
 If it breaks $100,000 I will replace my 2012 MacBook Air with a 2020 model 🫡
