ASUS -TUF Gaming A16 Laptop
Unboxing notes:

Box is easy to open. Contains 3 items. The Laptop, and standard AC power cord and a power brick.

Laptop feels nice and solid.

Power brick is surprisingly heavy!

Connected the power brick to the laptop and plugged it in. Nothing exploded or anything. Orange charging LED lit up on the laptop.

Now to power up and deal with the shit-show that is Windows 11.

Hey! I forgot this thing has a back-lit keyboard. Cool!

As of August, 150 billionaires have spent $14.5 billion on the 2024 election.

Wonder how much the wealthy paid the GOP for those "rule changes"?

They got a Supreme Court Justice for the bargain basement price of $4.2 million.

The GOP hopes that more tax cuts will send even more money their way.
