I generally don’t spend a whole lot of money throughout the year, however, every once and awhile I feel pretty comfortable spending a huge chunk of money to buy something important as long as it’s of high enough quality that I expect to use it for an incredibly long period of time in a “use and abuse” case scenario. So, let’s check out the short list of my best purchases of all time!

Asus Laptop

Now this purchase was made very early on in 2015, basically my giant 17.3" laptop didn’t make sense anymore especially considering I needed a laptop that I could take too and from the college campus as needed. So, I decided to downsize into a much more compact model at the time while still allowing my to play games, enter my current workstation featuring Windows 10, an Nvidia 960M and Intel 6900K…If you know much about computers, you’ll know that this system is incredibly outdated, nearly six CPU generations old as well as about four GPU generations old. Yet this workhorse still gives me the opportunity to play the games I find myself coming back to at least once a year while also helping me to complete not only a bachelors, not just a masters but now it’s helping me along to complete my doctoral level studies as well. This laptop isn’t some sort of crazy piece of technology given how old it is but the fact that it’s still incredibly reliable seven years after…
