Second to that, I plopped 32 GBs of RAM into my NUC7i5 and it screams now. Head and shoulders above the 8 GB I had in there before.

gl21133, you can get a gently used DSLR for 4x to 5x less than you can buy a smartphone. B&H photo has a huge selection of used DSLR kits that come ready to shoot - lens, bags, hoods, filters, etc. If you get one that’s a generation or two old, you’ll save a lot of money. Honestly for $200 you can ‘get it all.’
