Still has plenty of power for me! It will be here tomorrow. I needed a portable computer for the odd weekend when I travel.

Had the MacBook in my sites, but that bigger screen with more power and ports at the same price did the trick for me. If I was a coffee shop guy, maybe the MacBook. But I am not. Whatever place I go to becomes my "office" and the only thing I actually carry around with me is the iPhone.

Phew. Not an easy decision. I had gone back and forth for months.

It will be exciting.

Consider some more ram and a ssd and it will be awesome. That is what I just did to mine

I needed this machine in less than 24 hours, so no customize :( It will not be my main machine ever, so I think it will be fine. If it were my main machine, I would go at least 256GB and 16GB Ram.
 
Thanks! It came at 10am and I have it setup at least enough for this trip. 1Password and Firefox tabs is about all I need :)
