Glad you are all set again. I have an ASUS too.

I was a bit skittish without my own laptop.
The Asus review the best for reliability over the long term. My last one lasted over 8 + years. Pretty happy with that.
Replaced a HDD a while ago, had a major seize up last week and decided better to buy a new one.

Like a big screen, got a Vivobook, 17.3' screen, $1700.
Very light, very fast just found out how to turn the keyboard backlighting off.
Use my thumbprint to turn it on.

I've had mine for about 6 years and apart from the battery not holding a charge anymore it's fine. I hope it stays that way for awhile longer. Fingers crossed.

My only regret is not updating to Windows 10 when it was offered for free.

yes, for as long as they are running fine, leave them.

That is one of the engineering axioms 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.'

hhahahahah, I am an electronics tech.
Many of our repairs come from heavy handed people.

Our dishwasher is a sink and a scrubbing brush
