Thanks everyone! @ThinkpadIL - I like the idea of being able to roll a portable air con from my office to the bedroom as needed. Are they really that bad, even the new ones? The split systems look very nice, but so expensive! Does anyone here use the U-shape window ACs, like Midea?

I've got another one! I am probably the world's biggest Dell fanboy. No, Dell didn't start the IBM clone business. They didn't out-junior the PCjr with their own custom sound and graphics modes.

64-bit means P4F needed (2004) TPM means core 8000 needed (2016) Wait, what? TPM has been around a lot longer than that. Even the Dell Latitude laptops and desktops that came with 2nd gen Core-I CPUs had the option of having a TPM chip. Pretty sure my X79 (3-4th gen) and X99 (5th - 6th gen) …
