I stimply can't use mice for gaming any more. I'm too tied into the trackball ecosystem. Give me a logitec marblemouse, and I'm happy!
Ew. One of my old roommates was the same. I don't understand and if there is a chance of me understanding in the future, I refuse.
A lot of folks have the same reaction, lol. But I pretty much have been using that same brand of trackball since 1998 or so... My first one cost $75... and it is still in service at my Dad's house... His server (somehow) still manages to have a PS/2 port, lol.

Have you seen the "joystick" mice? Anyoen try those?
3D mouse? I played with one at PAX the first year. It was interesting but not something I'd use.

I am a fan of Asus laptops as well. Well built and not overly expensive for what you get.
Yeah I don't think my family will get anything other than Asus laptops. I'm hooked.
(well my wife uses a surface (non pro) for school) She liked that one better because it's smaller. It works well, only issue is that it uses microUSB for charging... and we all know how those end up.

I have a ZenPad 8 after my son's last tablet died. That thing rocks! It's snappy and works well. His is still on Android 6, I think

Nice, those look really classy. How much memory does that model have?

The one that I really want is the 8" model and it is not available in the US. And it is more expensive than the 10" model. I really like their new releases, but 10" is too large for me to carry around.

I like the detachable keyboard feature. It's like the surface it seems, but runs Android. Not sure if she would still be able to do everything. I will have to see what she runs on it. Main thing is Office and school stuff like blackboard, which is web based... but Microsoft has office for Android, so I don't see an issue off the top of my head.

Sounds about right. I think. We may have the 16gb version. I don't use it, lol.

I have a Surface Book (i7, 512GB, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GPU) that has been "good enough" for me on mobile gaming and has played everything I've thrown at it. I have, though, given thought on selling it, while resale value is still high, for a good gaming laptop. Very tempted...
