My new laptop has arrived!
-
And I'm posting this from it! My thoughts so far: the touch screen is pretty handy for accessing Win 8 Start menu options, instead of moving the mouse around. I think that a lot of things are going to be easier with a touch screen, some things not. I love its teeny size for working from the couch, which I normally do during the day while homeschooling our girls. It's going to take a little while to get used to the compact keyboard, but that's to be expected with a laptop of this size.
As a reminder, here's the laptop Scott bought me:

I have my laptop, and I like one device per task. Phone + laptop. I'm good.
-
For your case, it makes sense though. Glad you like it!
-
Cool, have fun with it!

Huh? Hows that one device per task?
-
@Dominica I'm Glad you like it. I find the same in a laptop 13" and 10-11 laptops are the sweet spot. 15" is just too big anymore, you can big more resolution and space in a 13" than you could a 17" a few years ago.

@thecreativeone91 Yup, my 15" is just too heavy, and gets too hot for comfortable couch use. This laptop has a vent on the bottom, but because it's small, I'm able to balance it on one leg, and leave the vent uncovered.

Happy birthday!

Mobile and at home. The computer can travel. I don't have a tablet, which I consider a tweener device. I have my laptop which I can use anywhere, and my phone I can use anywhere. Phone is for calls and when I don't have my laptop. My laptop does the "heavy lifting":.

From what I've heard from parties that will remain nameless, he often times needs them...:P

How are you liking the new laptop?
-
Extra points are always a good idea.

Keep a few in the bank for when you need them most.

I'm still liking it, although I occasionally wish it had a little more oomph, mostly, it serves my purposes well. If I really needed a faster machine for a specific task, I could just switch to one of our desktops. I really do love how lightweight it is. I've missed that while using the 15" monster.
-
It is probably as fast as the old desktops that we have
