I am looking at a few new options, and would like some input.
Choice #1: ASUS VivoBook E203NA Ultra Thin and Light Laptop Intel Celeron N3350 Processor (Turbo up to 2.4 GHz) 4GB LPDDR3 RAM 32GB eMMC Flash Storage plus pre-installed 32GB SD Card 11.6”HD Display Windows 10
Choice #2: Panasonic A Grade CF-19 Toughbook 10.1-inch (XGA sunlight-viewable LED 1024 x 768) 1.06GHz Core Duo 160 GB HD 2 GB Memory Digitizer Pen Windows XP Pro OS Power Adapter Included
Choice #3: Apple Grade B Laptop MacBook MC516LL/A Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.40 GHz) 2 GB Memory 60 GB HDD 13.3" Mac OS X
Choice #4: DELL Laptop Latitude E4310 Intel Core i5 520M (2.40 GHz) 4 GB Memory 120 GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 13.3" Windows 10 Home
I’m not rich. I’ve got glitter sexy Irongirl I-suit on layaway at Kohls. I’ll have it just about paid off when the Olympics come to L.A. (yes, of course I’ll be on the boys’ teams)
Up the specs a little bit and get a 13" MacBook Pro from 2016 or later. 250GB solid state drive, 8GB of RAM, no TouchBar. You might spend a little more, but these are rock-solid, super-portable, and will last you a very long time.
I got my ASUS used for about $600 through the FB sale pages.
As for distrusting Google, I’m not really sure I trust any tech company any more.
