#as opposed to $1400 for a machine with a stupid hot Intel CPU

[softgrungeprophet]

someone who knows about computers, is this stupid:

$850 ish for refurbished Thinkpad P16v off of Lenovo outlet: Ryzen 7, RTX A500, 32g RAM SODIMM, 1TB SSD, but ... base level multi touch screen (presumably 45%ntsc but it doesn't actually say)

+$200-250 to buy a full sRGB display separately from Lenovo

I replace the display myself, ultimate cost being around $1000-1100

I have some experience assembling and disassembling computer towers but not laptops and I am not an expert
