And I would highly recommend staying away from Windows 10 S version. The S version is pretty frustrating, as it will only allow you to install apps via the Windows store. You can't install anything from anywhere else. Might not be an issue for you, but that's a non starter for most folks. You can convert it from S mode to normal Windows 10, and I would definitely recommend that if you go with this model.

Great insight. I really appreciate it.

I'm open to recommendations if you like something better.
