I'm having the worst luck, where are you guys buying used laptops?

The first one I tried to get was an elitebook 845 g9 from woot. It stays in preparing for shipment for almost 3 weeks and finally they cancelled and refunded my money. I then tried to buy the same laptop with a slightly worse cpu and storage from eBay. It cost more but I felt like I was paying for the "ebay refurbished" and "like new" condition. It arrives with an admin account still setup, strike 1. I reinstall windows and check the battery because it's draining fast, it needs replacing. I check the ssd, it's at 49%. Obviously it's a pallet flipper laptop and they didn't look at this thing once. Currently waiting for my money back but just feeling really disappointed this morning. Did I just have back to back bad luck? Are these usually reliable ways to get a used laptop?

Evolved from base PS5 to a higher end PC, not sure what to do with my PS5 games now

I finally invested in a decent PC earlier this year. It's blowing my mind how much more I'm enjoying gaming. I bought a second hand base PS5 last year and started collecting physical, I probably have close to 50 games. My problem is that I now want all these games on my pc through steam. I've already double dipped a few times on games where I didn't want to compromise graphically.

My question is, to others that have done a similar switch, what was your answer? Did you re buy games? Did you sell the ps5 games?

I've considered connecting my ps to my monitor and just working through my collection and not buying anymore but then I get to games like Ninja Gaiden 4 and I absolutely want it to look the best it possibly can.

Not stressed about the situation, feeling very fortunate to have problems like this. Just curious what the community input is

Dusted off the rp5 and threw gamenative on it

With tech prices going absolutely insane I'm trying to get excited about older handhelds that I don't use as much. The Odin 2 portal replaced this one for me a long while back and it's just been sitting there. Loading up some lightweight steam games on it makes me excited to take it to work now. GN has been great so far and cloud saves are just a beautiful thing to have

I'm burnt out on youtube and I'm clearing out some anime's I've been wanting to watch. I paint in my studio while watching and I'm looking for shows with good action but plenty of story that doesn't need my full attention. I tried berserk 1997 but I just wanted to watch the whole thing so it was hard to concentrate on my work. Yu yu hakusho has been perfect so far, just finished season 2. I've got a backlog for sure but I'm interested to see what others watch while working.

Thanks!
