100% agree

For what its worth, I've bought 5 of these. 2 for myself, and 3 I've given as gifts. They're amazing and have completely changed the way I cook. Nothing compares.

I used to think that until I went on a multi week trip where I had lost my ID. I went through TSA without any ID about 7 times and developed a strong respect for the agents I encou…

Most of the government employees I know feel it's an honor to serve their country and do so with loyalty and pride. In past shutdowns, they've all gotten paid retroactivly. It's no…

As someone who has avidly fished for salmon in the NW for the last 30 years (~75 days per year), I can at least give my opinion that this is mostly BS. Pervasive, non-selective, co…

I have a hobby that I read 3-4 print magazines for (fishing in the northwest, not that it matters) and after numerous times talking to the publishers, I still, in 2018, cannot get …

I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I'll buy even more if it ends up with a real antenna jack.

Does that include good working power management and a fully functioning touchpad? I went down the XPS13 Sputnik path and had endless disappointment with constant fixes.

I'd love to hear how this laptop runs Ubuntu or Mint.

We have a fleet of these as well and have had a good experience. We are now switching to the 4k version for new ones.

I doubt Verizon has any liability if the thing catches fire...I'm no lawyer, but they may have some in an emergency if the phone doesn't work and they were the ones that facilitate…
