I have had a Sony Flip15 for almost 3 years. Overall happy, but it has had problems. Video is starting to fail... time to buy new.
I take it with me 3 days a week, it is 5lbs and bulky and stuffed in a briefcase with large textbooks. I have been looking at
the LG Gram, Dell XPS, Dell (other), Samsung notebook 9 15, etc...

I would prefer the 15 high res screen, number pad, lightweight, ssd, futureproof ports...
Just don't know if I can do a 13 screen despite it being the right price.
Would like to hear any other recommendations.
I do not want to pay $1200 for a Sony Vaio Flip 15 again and a year later wish I had just paid $700 for a box with the same internals.
