If its a ass race you want. An ass race you get Ass race brian

Idk about price as mine was around there and what you need more as far as performance. I've used thinkpad's for a while 540p being the worst one. Currently have L13 yoga thinkpad. I work as a mechanic. Use it daily for 3 years. I have sent it in once for fan making noise. I like lenovo warranty.

Get something with the best warranty. If you like mac.. get a mac.. with apple care or whatever they give these days.

if your fine going pc id get a good warranty because nothing last anymore especially laptops that will have to take some bumps.

Do not buy anything under $200. Id say its not worth it.

Pads with a real keyboard is another option thats worth looking into as most document programs are cloud base these days.
