Oh, fu ... dge.

Cat, you make an irritatinly convincing case, dammit. :D

Still, after trying the SP4, I'll either keep it, or be a bit further towards these becomin more mainstream.

I had a Samsung 10.1 Tab2, but it died. Right now, Sammy 7", I think Tab 4. Great portability but a bit too small. Also, browsing some complex sites is like running a footrace in 2 foot deep snow...

For some of my needs, a tablet is probably ideal. I did even think of a 10" tablet. But it's just a bit too limiting, especially typing longer things on an on-screen KB.

This is part of...

The extra bitscertainly include the KB, but also docking station for port ecpansion, etc. I think there might have been an external optical drive, but my memory may be faulty there.

Another wrinkle has occurred - a friend has a barely used MS Surface Pro, which I think, is a Pro 4, and various add-ons. We haven't got as far as price and it isn't what I was intending, but I...

Interesting. It was partly the i7 and 4k that attracted me. And 16GB. It put me in the £1600-1700-ish range.

Nobody seems very keen on the Dell XPS13 (the new one) but nobody's said why? Is it the machine, or bad experiences with Dell?

I like the idea of a de-Cortana'd (etc) version, but if I get W10 it'll only be because my chosen laptop comes with it, and because I have a few programs that don't seem to like Linux, like my...

4.5Kg?

Does it come with a free crane?

Thanks, Cat. Plenty to think about there.

Whether its rational or not, I don't see me buying anything Huawei now or in the short/medium term, but that still leaves a range of options.

I'm...

Not huge amounts of typing, Kal. It's a general usage machine and there will be some typing, but nowhere near as much as would have been in the past. I'd probably add the 1-user lifetime basic Office...

I'm thinking about completely changing my archaic home computing, to :-

1) NAS
2) Desktop replacement laptop (I have an option available here)
3) One tower PC driving old hardware & software
