What was the best purchase you made this year?
A portable MSI pro monitor for my pc. And I can connect it to almost any device I can think of. With it, I can now work from home. My tiny desk can't fit a regular monitor.

What is the best laptop brand for long term use?
If your only concern is saving money over the long term then I would agree with the 600 other commenters as far as computer suggestions. But if you have other concerns such as not buying a disposable computer and trying to increase the life of just the one laptop then go with a custom built gaming laptop or pc. Find a custom pc builder near you and ask them for the lowest build that will meet your needs. Likely around $900-1000 for light gaming like COD, Fornite, Sims; even less money if you play like mystery/puzzles. Get as far as you can until it gets slow and then go back to the same pc builder for upgrades. It may cost only a little less than a new one, but you are still using the same laptop and not creating waste. To add to some of the comments I read about gaming laptops such as Alienware and MSI, these are incomparable to options like MacBooks and Thinkpads because you are able to change out components on gaming laptops. And while Apple has amazing repairs services they aren’t going to help your laptop keep up with technology. They will try to sell you a new one with trade in values.

What is the best laptop brand for long term use?
Lenovo is always my go to suggestion because they’re sturdy as fuck, but MSI has some crazy cooling solutions on their bigger machines. Like 5-6 heat pipes, radical shit.

What is the best laptop brand for long term use?
As someone who used to work tech support, look for these brands for good long-term usage: Lenovo Asus (I've had mine since 2015, runs like a clock) MSI The brands to absolutely avoid: **HP**, Dell
