So I am currently on the market for a new laptop.
My old POS Dell that I rebuilt just isn't cutting it and well,
I need something a little faster for work purposes (reflashing an ECU and it taking 20 min just isn't going to cut it in the flat rate world....)

So Here are the options for PCs that I have chosen in order of what I like least to most.
I would love your opinion on all laptops and which one of the ones I posted you like the best.
