and/or upgrade preciousssss parts!
Maybe if I were rich I would try the Surface Pro. At work they started to offer it but say it will need to be sent out for repair when needed. Judging from iFixit I say they will just send a new one and junk the broken one.
My Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-76YK 15.6-inch laptop I bought this February does not have a touch screen but does have 1920 x 1080 resolution that I can easily view files and programs on. It cost about $550. It has a removable SSD that can be upgraded and extra space for a laptop hard drive. I added a 1TB 7200 hard drive for about $60. If the screen breaks I can remove it and replace myself.
