Decided on a new laptop -- thanks to all who offered suggestions.
I'll get more machine than I need, with the idea that it'll suit me for several years.
Last question: Any thoughts on buying from Best Buy vs. direct from Dell?
Particularly curious about the pros and cons of service -- Dell Premium or Geek Squad.
That part is particularly important to me, as I am not savvy enough to reliably diagnose and fix problems on my own.
