    I could have bought an 11 pull and have 1000 gems left over, but all I got was this silly title.

    So it's really Canadian Cyber Tuesday & Wednesday? Doesn't roll off the tongue. Terrible marketing.

    I’ll be in the market for a 75” TV. Holler at me.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Oh snap.

    So we need a full appliance set: fridge, dishwasher, stove, oven, and microwave. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

    Edit: That $120 Laptop has only a 64GB hard drive in it. That's criminal.

    most manufacturers pull that kind of shit with laptops. unless you're paying the premium for a high-end build, it's a sure bet that they've skimped on the hard drive. most will just throw a big magnetic drive in there to keep the big storage numbers.

    99% of the time, when you buy a laptop, you should include the cost of a hard drive upgrade in your purchase.

    I bought a pair of 2TB nvme drives at the same time I purchased my last laptop, and plan to just keep moving those from laptop to laptop as I upgrade for the foreseeable future.

    500-999. My dad is helping with the cost. He wants at least 1 TB and a screen no bigger than 15".

    ah. well, if you're having trouble finding one to meet requirements, it's worth keeping in mind that the hard drive is usually the easiest part to replace on a laptop, excepting batteries of course.

    also, anyone see any deals on sub-50" 120hz-native 4k TVs? i havent found any. getting into monitors that size is pricey AF, and i wouldn't mind the smart TV functions at this point. but everything between 43-49" i've found is 60hz native.

    I honestly think your only option that fits all those requirements is the 48" LG CX OLED.

    Which is you know, quite expensive and can be hard to find because so many people want it.

    Yeah, I was gonna say that's about it. If you don't mind the 1 extra inch, the Samsung Q80T 50" for $1k has what you want.
