Asus is good , Dell : good hardware (or was), ph support used to be REALLY bad some years back. Lenovo : Good , but often riddled with preloaded crapware , the Lenovo crapware can cause issues (blocking webcam use) Pretty much all brands have good & dud's . They are all just assembled from parts made by 3rd parties :-) Just make sure it has an SSD Hard drive . That makes all the differnce in Win10. And then uninstall Norton/mcaffee that some new laptops come preloaded with .	1101 (13337)

And then uninstall Norton/mcaffee that some new laptops come preloaded with . My first task will be to remove crapware, Norton, MS Office, etc. SSD is a must, at least 256, I will aim for 512. 16 Gb RAM is an overkill for what my wife uses the laptop for but it will future-proof it. I recently upgraded both of my home desktop PC's to 16 Gb RAM and now don't worry how many Chrome tabs, etc. are open. Thanks for your info - everyone else also. :thanks	Strommer (42)

Good idea. I was thinking of removing the laptop's HD and using a SATA (or whatever it is called) cable to the mobo of my desktop.	Strommer (42)
