Thanks man, and yeah I think I made the right decision. I was initially very happy with the Surface Laptop but it started to degenerate quite quickly, more so than any other computer I've ever had. I had replaced my MacbookAir (I had for over five years) with it and was enthused at first but it soon lost it's shine. The heating up issue was provably the biggest concern as I generally charge during the day and I'm not always here. So, it was time to go.

I've been trying to extend the life of the Surface Laptop, resisting the urge to replace it but like you say, zeros and ones...It works or it does not and with the issues it had, it wasn't working as intended.

I'm not sure what I'll do with the Surface Laptop now...maybe I'll take it out onto a property and send it to hell with a rifle round? Hmm, that might make a good video for Hive.
