I still use my System76 Gazelle Pro laptop I bought in 2014. The battery lasts for barely an hour but the machine still works great and is still my daily driver for my personal use. The plastic feels a bit cheap but it has held up just fine

My apologies, I'm in Pittsburgh in the USA and currently making 90k just for front-end work. According to the research I've done, 120k is on the low end for senior devs across the nation and perhaps just right, maybe a tad high f
