You can probably find them at this price (650-700 EUR) across most major retailers in DE/AT.
We have deployed a bunch of these Probook 4-series G1 units, both Intel and AMD, they really punch above their weight class in build quality.
So much so that several of our business clients who historically always bought Elitebook 800-series and ThinkPad T-series for their fleets this generation decided to “downgrade” to Probook 4 and save a lot of money without noticeable loss in quality.
To quote our distributor: “HP really took their higher laptop classes behind a shed and shot them by upgrading the entry-level business class like this.”

I play stuff I have from the publishers I’m boycotting. Maybe I bought it before I started boycotting them, maybe I got it for free.
The point is to not give them any money going forward. Not using something you’ve bought really plays into the whole “you don’t own games, you just rent them” mentality.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. As a millenial from the Balkans I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the similarities of our experiences. If you ever start a blog, I would be very much interested in a retro gaming perspective from China - we don’t get enough non-western human perspectives like this in Europe, and love how similar gamers are throughout the world, which could be a wonderful unifying factor in this uncertain world.

- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #7 - Battlezone 98 Redux 1 year ago:
Just a correction: the sequel was released in 1999 as Battlezone 2: Combat Commander. It was a AAA release and picked up the original alternate history storyline 30 years after the events of the first game, with all Earth-based factions now forming an official alliance and fighting a new common threat. It was insanely cool for a teenager back then.
While the sequel was technically far superior, I did miss the cold war tone of US vs Soviet conflict that was present in the first game.
I also loved the interpretation of Greek mythology through the “ancient aliens” lens (Hercules Brigade and all the other stuff, quite along the lines of what Stargate SG1 was doing at the time) that was revealed to you through briefings and pre-mission voiceovers. I think this was also more pronounced in the first game.
