Yeah I'm not mercantile enough to go around doing stuff like that, but I understand the thought. I don't NEED another laptop. It was tempting, but I can keep making do with what I have now.
Added: I probably should buy a new SSD if there are still some affordable ones out there. I could use it, will probably need it, and prices have been going up since even before the tariffs.
