[dba-Tech] new laptop

[John Colby]

I have probably bought my last laptop.  It is an AMD Lenovo Legion Pro, 8
core which I retrofitted with 64 gigs ram and a second tb SSD.  Oh and an
rtx 3070 pushing a 2K screen.  I used Veracrypt to encrypt the boot
driver.  This thing is a smokin machine and while I paid $1500 for it I
just love the machine. At my age it should be my last.
