I recall that even as recently as a few months ago this OP was still extolling the virtues of Chromebooks.

Yes, how right you are, but of late, I'm doing much, or rather trying to do a lot on it and it can't kerp up.

Cmon everywhere one last favour for this old chap. Give me your valued opinion on a laptop less than 300,with the solid state whatever it is, I think you recommended a dell and left a link, but that link is dead now, bit like my Chromebook. Make an 80yr old a happy chappie please.
