Exercising (moderate physical activity) for 2-2.5 hours per week leads to a 20% reduction in all-cause mortality (not to mention its many other benefits). Exercising for an additional 5.5 hours leads to another 20% reduction. No preventativ

I recently got an alienware 15 R3 which has almost the same specs (1070 instead of 1080 and 16 instead of 32 gb RAM, but a higher resolution screen 4K) for $1400. Its thicker and heavier, but if your objection is cost, you can get the rough
