Looks like I'm invited to travel out to another company development center in June so it's new laptop buying time. My current laptop is basically on life support and has a slow hard drive, a few nonfunctional keys, somewhat flakey power jack, flakey headphone jack, and more. Any advice for picking something good?

I feel like I really, really ought to get something with an SSD this time because I think I spend a huge amount of time waiting on the disk on my current laptop.

@NovaSquirrel No advice per-se, but SSD is a really really really good idea. Your laptop will fly - and it won't feel aged for probably a decade.

@nightblade yeah for the time I've had this laptop it's been really obvious that Windows 10 was probably not designed for a 5400 rpm drive. Definitely want an SSD.
