[TriLUG] More on Laptops

[matt at noway2.thruhere.net]

Everyone, thank you, I appreciate the input.

@Ken, Could I ask your impression of how you like / dislike the Google
Cloud drive aspect of the machine?  The Chromebook was one that I looked
at early on in my search but discounted it because of the lack of local
storage.  If I recall, someone put it as using Google's Cloud as "being
like free cigarettes, sounds great now but might regret it in the future"

@Jeremy, I will contact you off list.  I would like to talk to you about
this.  If I decide to go that route, we may be able to work something out.

@Matt, thanks for the suggestion.  I will check the site out.

While I don't like the prices, I keep coming back to getting things like
the SSD and higher end processor.  My biggest complaint with my 7+ year
old machine is waiting while it churns the HDD moving stuff between the
memory and disk.
