Is looking for a 16" bar
The brief:
My old man needs a laptop for his work. He runs a residential construction company and needs something portable between the office & home.
He asked me what to buy. I haven't looked in this space for a very long time....and I don't know much about Windows stuff.
He has two desktops already in the office & a company LAN of sorts.
He needs document handling, emails, a few photos 'n' shit. Needs plenty of inputs & outputs for devices.
Graphics don't matter. Bells & whistles don't matter. He needs dependability, rugged construction (if possible) and ease-of-use.
I told him to prioritise processing power over storage.
My questions are:
What should he buy?

My questions are:
- Is Dell & HP still the cheapo shit it used to be?
- Is ASUS a Yeti/SantaCruz/Pivot ?
- Is Microsoft good vfm?
- Is Toshiba out of the game?
- 15 inch?
- Are those flippable tablet-come-laptop hybrid looking things any good?...or overkill?
What should he buy?
