James says, "In the last episode, the Clueless Closet was mentioned and Mia talked about their spreadsheet system.

We were talking about all the fake movie and TV tech that we would love to steal. And I mentioned the clueless closet, which is sort of like a computer system that inven ...

But you pay a big price for this screen.The ThinkBook Plus costs $3,300 where a non-rolling Lenovo with a similar specs is like $1,000 cheaper.

There's Solitaire in 2048 and whatever else you want to code and upload right in a browser window. Both thumbies have Raspberry Pi Pico processors inside, but the color is more powerful with an RP23 ...
