      I have a Dell that is I don't know how many years old... running fine.

      And a EEE-PC that is still running as well. I'm considering dropping a 120SSD in it to move to linux as it was / is WinXP.

        I won't know until tomorrow how fairs my data,.. however in the mean time, I guess I"m in the market for a new laptop. This one didn't make two years,.. and it's hardly traveled... so no harsh bumping.

        So I will start looking..

        Lenovo?

        Surface?

        Did you seriously just mention Lenovo and still have a job with NTG?

        *edit
        OK now I see with the surface mentioned also, you must be kidding.

                    I will never own another Zenbook unless it's given to me.

                    My wife had one, 1 year and a few days - it started just not powering on. Unscrew the bottom, pull the the battery, replace it, it would work.. eventually that stopped working. Nope.. I'm done with them.

                    Granted - it was probably a gen 1 problem.. but I'll spend my money elsewhere.

                        Sadly booting the system on another similar laptop didn't resolve the clean shutdown. And when I try to boot on a different computer, I get a Partition Table error.

                        So mounted as Read Only and am in the process of moving the user profile(s) to an external drive.

                        sudo mount -o remount,ro /dev/sdb1   /media/username/Ubuntu
                        

                        Is what I had to use.
