I really really want a Micorsoft Surface book , but its out of my budget, I am looking for something I can take to clients, meetups, or hackathons. I need the 2-in-1 for sketching purposes as well. I am willing to take an older chipset if that helps. One thing that concerns me is the Spectre vunerabilities that cropped up this winter. Are the new patches in place to fix that? I have seen some of the intel 8000 series processors are really low on CPU Ghz 1.8 I believe, but it looks like they are Quads. How much of an improvement is that over say a 2.6ghz 7000 series processor?
I have build my own pc's in the past and this is my first laptop. I will be keeping my desktop but need a comparble one for the road. Thanks for looking and I appreciate any advice that comes my way.
