I have an eight-year-old laptop that needs replacing and I’m paralyzed. What are the most reliable ones now? Do I need a desktop for CAD? Pros and cons of operating systems (and where do I find them?) Browsers ditto? Where do I find answers that aren’t just product marketing?

      Good point. I live in a rural area whose librarians are enthusiastic but emphatically not trained. However, I live about 40 miles from a university; I could pop by there maybe.

      Libraries and librarians are great. I agree they would likely know where to point OP for info, but I meant they probably don’t have the resources to test a wide variety of products themselves.
