"We're finally bringing back our beautiful, clean coal." - An actual, non-facetious SOTU quote... =__=
Taking all bets on when Trump talks about bringing back leaded gasoline and CFCs!

Can we bring back the guillotine too cause there are lots of people we could use it on
Hell, I'll even give Trump first dibs on the test run

Buy me a laptop
I think that settles it then, get the HP. I spent a bit of time looking for other touchscreen 4K laptops and came up with a whole lotta expensive shit and awful online store filters (I couldn't get the BestBuy website to filter for needing both 4K and touchscreen, with both checked it ended up just settling for either).
Buy me a laptop
The HP x360 has a huge resolution (3840x2160) (touch!)screen but a really weak GPU (GeF 940MX). Mind it can probably run Diablo 3, Blizzard may make dubious games but the teams behind them are pretty good.
The Thinkpad looks like the X360 but without the 4k touchscreen and less storage.
The Acer's GPU is real bad. It can still play Diablo 3 but a benchmark I found doesn't have it hitting 60 FPS at the panel's native resolution. It was benched at High graphics though so maybe lower settings will do the trick? No comment on when the FPS was recorded (dicking around in town vs mob fights). The rest doesn't seem bad either. Otherwise it'd be real nice.
Costco one doesn't really bring anything new to the table unless you wanted the 1TB HD instead of a SSD, compared to the NewEgg Lenovo.
I'd probably get the Lenovo Thinkpad. Its GPU should be enough to play Diablo 3 (Geforce 940 MX Benchmark) while hitting most of the other wants without breaking the bank as much as the HP X360. Biggest thing is how you much the touchscreen, the other computer wishlist specs is just incremental performance improvement (although 17" and <3.5lbs is real tricky
).
I didn't do much looking, just browsing at MemoryExpress.com but nothing really stood out as being significantly better than the Lenovo
e: I also have no idea how to tell what keyboard layout these things are because some laptops have layouts are inspired by Satan himself. Another key between the left shift and Z? What the fuck why would you do that!

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?
I got Alundra on the PS1 on PS3 a while back and while it looks sharp and interesting the platforming the game demands from you is unreasonable for the engine the game is made on. It's an entirely 2d sprite game with 3d platforming. It makes it really difficult to gauge heights or positions. The character is also real sticky to walls, pushing a diagonal against a wall just stops you completely instead of moving along the wall. Plus the hitbox when dealing with platforms on spikes is bad, it's super easy to touch the spikes when trying to get close to an edge to make a jump or any time you're under time pressure.
oh, and don't forget conjoined moving platforms that randomly block your movement as you try to cross the seams!
I could dismiss it as a game from a quaint era of video games until the game decides it's time to make the player do some platforming puzzles! One frustrating one was a room with four flames in the middle, four braziers that need to be lit in each corner, a pile of spikes between the two, some single tile wide platforms to jump across, and water dropping on said platforms that douse any flame you pick up. Should you misjump, touch any spikes, or lose any flame to water you have to start the whole room over again. Thankfully the penalty for failing wasn't a big time loss (except when I ran low on health and had to refill it at a save point) but I hated the whole process. It isn't even just big things like that but lots of little platforming bits across all the dungeons in the game. It's slowly chipping away at my will to keep playing.
I'm not sure if I'm going to finish it but I still have some patience left. I do hope my bestbud Septimus doesn't bite it too
