    Idk why Purina is on that list, but maybe it goes a little deeper into ethical animal testing. What if they’re starving animals to see what food is best for sales -crazy example but you get my point.

    For other companies, they test to make sure their crap is safe for humans. Pine Sol and Bic make household items. Items that could potentially come in touch with, say, a baby. So do you test your BIC pen ink on a baby? Probably not, so instead maybe you scribble on some rats you shaved to make sure that new ink is alright. -not saying animal testing is necessary or good, just explaining the why I think these companies do it.







  • Pretty good suggestions already, can’t go wrong with a decent Acer, Asus, Thinkpad or MacBook…get 16gb ram and 500gb-1tb storage video cards are a plus. I with in IT and graphic design/video editing, my main workhorse ATM is an Acer Tuf book. Sleek and has decent specs. There’s price points from $700-$1500 depending on what year model and video card upgrades.

    Previously I had the Acer VN black edition, got it in 2015 new, barely started giving me issues this year and I got the Asus when it was on sale.

    If you’re on a budget, you can get pre-owned dell latitudes with 6th gen processors for like $150 and below … If you’re tech savvy you can upgrade ram and storage for like $70. I buy and flip these babies and use one personally. I have a 4th gen i5 del Latitude that I carry for my IT work. Runs league fine.
