New laptop is arriving today! Yay!
ASUS ZenBook?
Never mind your talking about the Acer laptop.Yeah, the Aspire 7. So far, really liking it.
Ubuntu 20.10 Beta up and running on it.
Acer, oh, OK. What's the quality like? I work on lots of Acers but they are mostly the lower end Travelmates, they work, that's about it.
Great, we recommend them a lot for customers and are always jealous because the builds are so nice. They are one of my favourite laptops to work with. The Aspire 7 and Swift 3 lines are especially good deals.

For reference, the Acer Aspire 7 got me a nice quad core Ryzen 7 (equivalent of an entry level i7, quite powerful), 8GB (but I can expand to 32GB), 512GB NVMe SSD, 15.6" nice looking screen, nice feeling keyboard, nice trackpad, decently thin and light for the size, solid build feel, and a really nice discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with 4GB. All for $749.

Oh yep. Looks like that model is around $AU1300 - $AU1500 down here.
Glad you like it.

That's $918 USD, so not far off. It's a nice unit, I'm still happy. And it's running 20.10 Beta no problem, too.

You and me both. I just got off a Teams call while on a Zoom call, and chatting with somebody from my office. All 3 things not related, and then my office phone starts ringing.
Over the past month, I've worked with nearly 100 outside vendors to get them to update their crap to point to our new IdP (Identity Provider). Cert expires next week, but next week is registration. Gotta get them all done before Friday.
I'm down to the last few now.

Honestly some people shouldn't work with any kind of technology.
: "My internets down, this isn't working / That isnt working "
"Okay, Can you restart the Modem? then the Router? ""what do you mean? I call you to fix this stuff. You can't connect in and fix it??"
"No.. You said it yourself, you dont have internet..how am I supposed to connect into your site using internet that isn't working..."
"what do we pay you for then?"

Drive out to the client if they are paying you to handle everything for them.
This isn't unrealistic... If the site is down and you believe restarting the equipment will fix it.
