Well I tend to keep cumputors longer than most, I suspect. Well the laptop anyway. I've had the one I use now for five years. It is pretty slow and clunky running the programs I use now, but that's not saying much. It says pentium T3400 processor. 2GB SDRAM and 160 GB HDD. So I reckon one of the 256 SSD's would be just fine, and more memory with a touch screen. I would also like number keys. I did not realize so many laptops do not have them. And a finish that isn't slippery would be great. I carry it to/from vehicles several times a day when I am tuning.
