This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.



 Apologies if this is a stupid question but: I want to buy a desktop to game on because the new consoles have not really impressed me. In order to keep the price manageable, I'd like to piecemail the new PC in. Could I buy a tower and, while I get money for a proper screen et al, use my year old laptop as the screen?

That's fine if you're just playing games but you'll want to gouge your eyes out after trying to read a paragraph on a tv.

Ah, that works. Thanks a lot.

 Ok, yeah, I have read some posts, but I'll still put what I'm looking for and see if I can get some more direction.



Budget: 500. 600 max after tax.

Needs:
-15 inch preferred
-good, comfortable keyboard
-running Office. Word, excel mainly
-might also use it for movies.
-5 to 8 battery

What do y'all recommend? Or is this too vague?

 So I picked up an Asus vivobook today for less than $500

14" screen,
1.6 ghz 8th gen i5
8GB
128 SSD
Wireless-AC
USB A
USB C


Am I correct in assuming the integrated Intel® UHD Graphics 620 is not very good?

What are the thoughts?
