Hey Tom,
Wasn't sure if you bought a machine already but The Good Guys have a deal
currently on the zenbook flip for $1299. Super cheap compared to everywhere
else. Only has win 10 home but you can always upgrade to pro if you need
to. A good number of ports too.

There's no real point to buy a surface pro unless you need the pen
capability and tablet mode. The reason I was thinking of going with a
microsoft laptop was so I don't get the bloatware I'm used to dealing with

We need to make laptop threads on topic. They happen so often we could almost
make the list about them. :)

DELL took my working machine, broke it in a service call and would not take

They knew it was not worth my time to take it any further!
