Erik is a close friend of mine and one who is, literally, dirt poor.  That doesn't stop him from helping others and gleefully participating in the podcasting community. 

Please consider donating to this great cause.  If just a small subset of GH members donated $10, we'd absolutely CRUSH this fundraiser in no time...

(yes, I am aware that this may violate posting rules...I'm asking for some leeway as the founder of geekhack...hoping to see the generosity of this fine community exhibited.)

Advice I always give to get a good laptop with a fair amount of power:

Look to buy one from a University replacing them. They usually don't have a hard drive, so put an SSD in them, and look for the upper end i7 Models, they'll always have those.

Their upgrade cycles are almost always ludicrous fast and you'll be amazed what you walk away with for the price. (The U of A in Arizona gets rid of very high end machines constantly and usually for really killer prices. I've driven up to Tucson a few times for that.)

Just a suggestion in case you don't meet the goal fully.
