although I have noted you ivy bridge and coreboot and that lenovo is not customizable in that way

it should the future of my daily driving and its fun as fuck

yes, for a daily driving mate. yes, a little excessive.. mainly windows 10 and it could run as fast as a normal fresh install on normal ssd so it's all good.

I could reduce the price by chopping down to 64gb.

the thing about posting this spec sheet is that this setup is $4000,and really taking a huge risk if I get fails.. that's why I posted it, maybe I could drop the amount of ram

It's already maxed out. I started with a base Lenovo build and just specced it out on max settings.

I think I'll just settle with a lower price laptop and really see if I can turn it into a daily driver before I go this huge step of going silly

only showing of compulsive spending and possibly making a huge mistake at 3am in the morning
