    on /r/chromeos there were quite a few "hurt" souls upset with you turning down chromebooks as a viable option. As someone who did uni with one, I have to agree with your analysis though. 
     
    Yeah I could do "most" stuff on the chromebook, but then when i got caught out, i had to spend time on workarounds. For the small price increase for a windows PC (sometimes if at all), it's just easier to get a windows machine.
     
    I like my chromebook, but am realistic of it's limitations.
     
    tbh, when a friend asks me for an entry level laptop advice, I jump on various local websites, - sort by price, screen size, remove certain brands, and bingo, im down to a few options.
     
    Also, things might have changed, but i really don't like the "felt" keyboard on the surface series. I'm sure for every hater, there is someone who loves it, but my work surface just got filthy very quickly, and i didnt like the typing feel. The build quality though, i felt was fantastic.

    dump the case and take all the other stuff in it's original packing.
     
    Make sure the input of the PSU accepts 240v, otherwise it's useless too.

    Dank,
     
    I don't mind it tbh - it could easily be programmed to give you feedback on your system state.
     
    If you dont like it, then don't buy it.

    haha yeah, i do it too. But it's a janky work around and lags with your internet connection
     
    If you're away from internet, it's just easier to have a windows machine.

    You know a potential issue. So try that prior to posting.
     
    You should also run your specs through a power supply calculator and confirm you've got enough power.

    Use USBDeview to find and uninstall all related drivers, then plug it back in and wait 10 minutes. If that doesnt work, go on the razor website and see if there is a driver or program
