If you're interested in a Dell, look at the Latitude 5290, or its big brother the 7200. Those are both decent machines similar to the Surface.
Thanks. I'll look into those. Have you had any experience with Lenovo X1 or Yoga machines? Some dorks on YouTube recommended it. And let's be real here, the older I get the more I lean on dorks on YouTube.

Credit to DaFace here, I was too stupid to figure it out myself, but apparently if you have a router that operates on a 2.4 Ghz channel, it is either the same as bluetooth or a harmonic or something and it nukes the network connection. The solution is to buy a router that runs on 5Ghz. I did that at the house, but I haven't yet at the farm. There's some more shit going on there with shared devices that I'm not sure I can install without ****ing up. And quite frankly, I'll drop some coin elsewhere to not dick with networks that I'm a functioning reerun on.
