Subject: RE: Which Mini-Laptop ?


Get a Dell XPS 13 laptop. I know they are expensive but come with W10, two USB 3.0 ports and a Thunderbolt 3 port. http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-13-9350-laptop/pd?ref=PD_OC
I bought the i5 Touch version of the Dell computer for each of us. The screen is just a little wider than my 4 year old Asus tablet but has a 13.3" viewable area. With a keyboard, W10 and the 13.3" touch screen, these two computers go right along. Automatically goes from ethernet to wifi when I unhook the universal dock.

You will also need one of these to hook up monitors to your computer - http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Display-Universal-D1000-452-BBZI/dp/B012... or buy one of these - http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-UD-3900-Universal-Docking-Ethernet/d... . We have one of each. They each work great. With these docks you can run 3 screens. We are each running the computer screen, a TV and a monitor. The UD-3900 came with a DVI port with an DVI to VGA adaptor.

I am waiting to purchase the new Dell thunderbolt 3 dock next year. It will run 2 4K displays or 3 regular displays at one time.

I regularly run youtube or netflix on the tv while I am working on the other screens.

I went with the Dell because of the problems of upgrading our Lenovos to W10. My wife's Lenovo had to be converted to LinuxMint when the W10 upgrade blew up. I may still convert my Lenovo to LinuxMint.
