@scottalanmiller I'm assuming that's bad? I haven't heard much about them. I could care less about touch screen.

Surface are garbage. I'm no fan of Windows 10, but that's everywhere. I've got solid Windows 10 boxes. The Surface are, other than Lenovo which is a totally different issue, the worst hardware I'm aware of on the market today. It's absolute garbage. Nearly everyone I know gives them away for free. No one even wants them for free. I certainly don't.

@scottalanmiller My pc at home is Windows 10, I've used worst but I certainly don't have as strong of an opinion on it as some. That's unfortunate to hear about the hardware. The only mobile hardware I've ever owned was Sony, because I have a buddy who works for Sony and he is normally just giving stuff away. First had a laptop, it lasted me for about 4 years without issue and I only ever upgraded the RAM amount. I have a VAIO Tap now and once you get all of the bloatware out of the way it seems to be decent.

Lots of good laptop vendors out there. I've had great luck with Asus and Dell recently.

@scottalanmiller Yeah just hard to narrow down which one I want at this point, I struggle with a lot of options I don't even like restaurants with pages of menus.

@scottalanmiller I'm a little suspicious as to whether this was actually obtained by legal means, but seems like a really good deal https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/sys/d/asus-zenbook-ux305c/6376827888.html

Speak for yourself. The one we had was crap. 13 month and dead.
