Looking for a new laptop

[GH85Carrera]

My Microsoft laptop will not run Windows 11. It also has a battery that is swelling, and pushing the display forward a bit. It is an old computer.

I don't need a real powerhouse, mostly I do email and visit Pelican.

It has to be a tablet, touch screen display and with a detachable keyboard. I do on occasion have to use it for running the flight software we use while flying, but it does not need a lot of computing power. That is when it is mounted in a holder as a tablet with no keyboard.

I wold like to keep is around the 1K price, but a little more for the right one is OK.

It doesn't sound like you need a laptop computer , sounds like a tablet will cover your needs . I to thought I needed a new laptop . As a surprise Christmas gift my wife gave me an Android based tablet . I haven't turned on my old laptop since .

I internet surf/email/message with no issues . I wireless print to our laser printer . I am retired so no need for Microsoft office products . I think mine is a 10 " screen but that doesn't seem to be an issue . It's an option to consider .

As said, a tablet w/ a pair-able keyboard for when you want to actually use one sounds almost better than another laptop. Add desktop for home, so you have a place to do extra storage, format conversion, etc.

Apple ipad with attachable keyboard for the win. It just works, more general aviation weather and Nav apps available, high functionality.
