I hear you, it boils down to what software and features you need to
utilize, I myself am contemplating going for something more advanced
because I was woefully unable to use my TV as a second monitor, for
the new Frontline episode about the Gaza war.  I could use my Fire TV
stick, of course, but then the audio is through the TV speakers, not
my computer feeding my headphones.  No biggie this particular time,
but I would like to be able to do it.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
