> a common problem with surface pro keyboards Hmm, I thought the fabric was a nice touch. I've had my surface pro for a few years now and have never even come close to staining the keyboard. I wonder how common this issue really is.
It probably depends on the person and how much they sweat; I'd imagine I sweat more than the average person and I'd be nervous about staining this.

If this laptop can run Linux I'm buying it
It can, like pretty much any other Intel-based laptop. The main issue however might be the limited touchscreen support of most linux distros...
I think this is great! Average Joe doesn't need any Win32 applications anymore and this will do nicely. If you want to upgrade to Win10 Home it's just 50 dollars.

Until you loose internet connectivity (happens from time to time), or go abroad and don't want to pay high fees for net access. Or when Google decides that you broke some of their rules (frequently happens in AdSense) and blocks all of your accounts.
I think you're missing the point. Children don't need to worry about breaking AdSense rules and getting their accounts blocked, especially if they have accounts dedicated for school. Children also will have internet at school.
" up to four more hours of battery power than a 13” MacBook Pro ." isn't this sign of defeat? mentioning another competitor in your marketing
Microsoft is in a different boat. They have to compare themselves to the dominant player, because first question people ask themselves is: Why shouldn't I just buy the dominant product? Why should I break from the wisdom of the crowd?

Have you tried Bash on Windows? Been using it lightly (still dual boot) but it's pretty good experience.
Linux was brought up because grand-grandparent says it can only run stuff from the Windows Store, so I'm pretty sure that WSL is out of the question.

> No one uses the Apple app stop on MacOS because apparently it's terrible AFAIK, most major apps are on the macOS app store.
What's "major"? No Office (only OneNote), no Adobe Acrobat or CC...
Office for Mac - https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/cat/Office-...
Adobe Acrobat Reader for Mac - https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/install-reader-dc-mac-os....
What's CC?
Do any of you have children at a school using Google Chromebooks and Google Drive? Calling Windows S a Chromebook competitor completely misses the point. Chromebooks are instant on, and your profile/data is 100% cloud based. You can grab any Chromebook from the rack in the back of the classroom, open it up, log in and immediately get to work on your report or whatever. I got an original Chromebook from Google I/O yea…
office365\onedrive allows this. if your docs are simple, you can do it from your phone or tablet too.
you are correct that you get a "whole" experience with a chromebook which is nice.

But where would you buy one? (That is also trustworthy I should add.)
You could buy one from a store like gearbest or else buy from a reseller in your country and pay a small premium for warranty etc.
