I spent a grand in 08 for one of these - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sJWItMk73nA - swapped out the HDD for a Samsung SSD and it still boots up in less than a min with Windows 10. It became the mrs's machine when I got a Mac last year. Honestly feels like a step back - a thick slab of aluminium with some mediocre insidesComment

Went for a 2-in-1 Lenovo Yoga 900 a few months back after looking at the New Microsoft Surface Book options. Love that it's nice and light with great battery life. Really impressed by its build quality for 13.3" and it boots / comes out of hibernation in seconds with it's SSD.
Plenty of dock options for connecting Ethernet/HDMI etc..
Screen is a tad shiny, but can be countered with a matt screen protector.Comment
