For me, a laptop is more about mobility, longevity and connectivity, so
light-weight, a good display, a usable keyboard, good wifi drivers and
battery life are prime features. With a network connection, I can ssh
to a "real" CPU to do computation.
I actually type on a Toshiba Chromebook 2 (2015) more than anything
else, about $300.
