I have three different desktops that I use for backups and for scanning and desk/location work. I typically have a main notebook and a backup notebook. The main notebook basically goes with me everywhere I go (except on errands and such to do shopping, etc.). The desktops are the permanent stationed 'puters linked to scanners, printers, etc.
The notebook I'm using was the backup for another notebook (HP also) that gott a damaged cabling between the motherboard and the screen, so if you flipped the screen up at the wronGGG angle, the screen gott weird (horizontal lines, colored snow, etc.) - so I retired that one and fired up this one as the backup in or around 2013 (I bought it before then) and it sat in the box until I needed it.
You remind me of a good point. Mebbe I ought to buy TWO notebooks now and keep one as a backup/spare. I could buy a 17.3" screen model and mebbe one of those thin, compact 15" or 13" models (Dell sells a nice one, DaSun had it a cuppla years back). The smaller, thinner one could be both a backup and a light trabble model (knott looking forward to lugging a 17.3" around for trabble). Those smaller ones are pretty cheap now - so that might be a nice backup/travel notebook.
Yeah, your post gave me a good reminder/kick-inna-groin. I really ought to be shopping for two notebooks.
I think I'll do that. Makes for extra research before purchase, butt a very good idea. This current notebook has a lott of operational time on it and a funky keyboard now, so it's nott a great candidate to serve as a backup.
I think I'll start 2020 fresh, with a 17.3" luxury (4K) box and a small, thin (light!) 15" or 13" screen model.
Can I just bill both to your soon-to-be-billionaire heiress cousin? She prolly won't even notice the charges - less than her bar tab on a long weekend prolly. Can I just charge them to her Venmo account?
