re: #215 Vote Cthulhu - No longer the greater evil!
I just picked up one of the HP Envy x360 notebooks from Costco.
These are the new models with the AMD Ryzen 4000 series CPU - dual mode notebook/tablet for under $800 that’s been getting rave reviews. There’s higher-end notebooks out there, but for what I’m using it for it ticks all the needed checkboxes and so far have no complaints at all.
I still don’t like HP, and after what I saw in a desktop PC from them with custom motherboards and a custom power supply, it didn’t really change my mind. For laptops, their custom software annoys me.
