Amazing what you can get for about $700 today compared to a few years ago

In January I posted Lack of Nice Laptops; 43x830C Monitor is Wonderful instead which was important in terms of upgrade for me, I wanted a laptop, had for a long time, but the model I liked was not available any more, other good ones were way too expensive.

On Saturday we got my Acer Switch Alpha 12 convertible laptop. Same price. I posted this about it, and still love it Acer Switch Alpha 12 – My New PC!

My oh my how well the two things go together. I have such a clear resolution on both. It’s perfect for a near sighted person like me. My computing is via a giant 4K PC, or tiny FHD laptop/tablet.

In 2012 I got a nifty HP Envy 4, was really cheap, no optical drive, but too cheaply built to last in a quality way. How much was it? That same price, 699.99 plus tax.

Best thing about my new laptop though, Tax Free Weekend. 🙂
