@Sanctus I will keep that in mind, there isn't many locations that I can think of that will not have power so I'm lucky in that way. I will most likely change the battery inside of the laptop after a year or so to make sure that it's still able to boot without being plugged in when I need it for that bit of work.
TBH seems like most of the downsides are rather because of it being monthly payments instead of outright paying for it but I understand that but can't outright purchase atm (Maybe in the future with my edits).
and the other downsides is that it's a laptop so it has battery that can slowly degrade and won't last a long, long time. As well as the screen being not colour perfect, what I don't have on my current cheap monitors anyway, so really it's a massive upgrade for me.
