I've got an old Nest E that I love and has never given me trouble. I also have three of the room sensors around the house. I would never upgrade... Unless Google kills app control, which I expect them to do because that's the Google way.

I'll likely have to go used since new cars under 27k are slim, but used cars at 25k are plenty.

Yep, I'm familiar with the surface, but not other options. I need to check these out as I've been looking for a replacement for my laptop that isn't really suited for the video encoding I'm doing.

Thanks.

Which ones are not arm ? I know the surface is a good example.

A table is typically an ARM based platform, so using MS products like visual studio can be a challenge, but there are web versions that help.

I think video encoding isn't too polished on tablets as it is on a Linux/Windows PC .

I don't know all the use cases where a table doesn't work, but they do exist.

A tablet doesn't cover all use cases for college work, but I suppose with the push for cloud computer instances this could actually work.

If you go to engineering school, you'll need a computer eventually to run various software. I'm not sure about other degrees however.

I recommend getting 1x16g and then getting another 16g when you have some more cash.

You can run Windows in a VM or try wine.

Same. I descale mine every few months, my water is hard 💪

What do you use to heat up the water?

As I'm lazy, I went electric.
