Black Sony Vaio laptops are top-notch in this regard. I've held many laptops in my hands, but none have been as pleasant to use and as beautiful on the outside.

Copy this onto your computer and set it as your background for 80-90 days. I want you to avoid eating anything and walk to work.

Hmm... Does it make sense to settle for a mediocre PC for 30-40k instead of getting a decent one for ~80-90k? My current PC has a 512 video card, 4 GB of RAM, and a terrible processor. Plus, it's already 6 years old and has been used daily. So, to put it mildly, it's become incredibly outdated.
If I don't eat anything and walk to work, I might be able to save up by the next paycheck.

Of course not. Save up for the 80-90k PC. And here's a tip: you can buy it not for the next paycheck, but in, say, 3 months, and then you won't even have to starve.

but in 3 months, the "New Year's sales" will begin, and ideally, prices will rise in November, only to "fall" afterward. So, of course, it's better to save up. After all, it's always better to buy a computer not today, but tomorrow. Because tomorrow, more powerful models will be available at the same price.

I'm not sure I'll be able to handle this for much longer. Besides other issues, my blood pressure has been 120/60 for the past two weeks. It's not dangerous in itself, and the headaches aren't severe, but a difference of sixty is clearly a pathology. My grandfather, who is a doctor, believes it's related to my kidneys (which I complained about after arriving in Moscow – I started moving around more, and everything started hurting, lol; although I was diagnosed with kidney stones before – too bad they're not diamond). Kidney problems are unpredictable – today you can tolerate it, tomorrow you'll be fine, and the day after, you'll end up in the hospital. And the problem is that in Moscow, examining one organ for a foreign citizen will cost ten times more than examining all the organs in the abdominal cavity "back home," and treatment will be even more expensive. At least I'd like to return with some "trophy" (I went after a mammoth, but came back with a groundhog). But the money for food, internet, and treatment is a whole other story. There's a potential option to earn at least a minimum amount remotely. Considering how I've been feeling for the past week, I'm starting to think that I'm incapable of any work outside the home or even work in general. I had to stop training again. I don't have the strength.

but in 3 months, the "New Year's sales" will begin, and ideally, prices will rise in November, only to "fall" later.

And the dollar will likely reach 80 rubles by that time... Well, whatever, in any case, I need to assess the situation closer to the climax of the trip, which is still unclear – whether I'll stay or not.

At least he could have returned with a "trophy" (went to hunt a mammoth, came back with a groundhog).

What an expedition.

I would opt for a cheaper and more reliable option. You don't seem to be particularly interested in demanding AAA projects, and everything else should run fine. So, why get an expensive, top-of-the-line computer if you can buy a cheaper one that handles the tasks you need it for at roughly the same level?

Based on my own experience, I can say that it's hard to stay interested in AAA projects when you don't have a computer that can run them.

but a really cool one costs more than 100k
most AAA projects are boring.

From my own experience, I can say that it's hard to show interest in AAA projects when you have a computer that can't run them...

When my computer could run them, I wasn't particularly interested, for example.

You didn't seem particularly interested in demanding AAA projects, so everything else should run fine.

I want to play automatas and all future Japanese games on ultra settings...

This doesn't contradict my statement.

I don't know how they optimized it, but if it's like usual, then even 80-90k might not be enough. And it depends on whether you include useless but demanding features in the ultra settings.

Well, then it's up to you to decide what's more important – the ability to play at maximum settings or 60k~ in cash (and that's if there's even a chance to earn that much before leaving).

You don't even need to buy a computer; you can just get the figurine for $300. It will be two to four times cheaper.

The figurine will just stand on the shelf. Although, maximum stats are rarely needed, in my opinion. But it's your decision.

and then spend a long time thinking: ***, what the **** did I do? idiot, ****.
