thought it'd be fun to show off some of the devices I use
often and some details about them.
this is my laptop, it's a ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506LU (lengthy name, I know)
I'm not a fan of gaming laptops (mainly due to their cooling issues
and battery life) and their rather aggressive "gamer" aesthetic,
but I got this one as a gift, can't complain.
often I use this laptop with an external monitor, with the external
monitor serving as the primary monitor and the laptop's display as
the secondary. I also have clamshell mode set up for Helldivers.

this is my old laptop, it's a Dell Latitude E6420.
these days it doesn't serve much purpose, aside from being a
device to rip new CDs on, and a backup laptop in case something
goes wrong.
the details table is rather lacking because I don't remember that
much about it.
