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.

Jack of all trades the master of none.
Sounds about right.

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.

This is really a question of what is the customer paying for. If they are paying for you (your employer) to handle everything for them then a site call isn't unrealistic.
If they are paying for some lower level of support then go to the site and have your sales team/account rep handle getting paid for the time and travel (of course email ahead to notify).

Nice! When will FPBX 16 be released? Will it be on Asterisk 16 or the new 18?

They Dont Pay us to handle anything except their Point of Sale. Everything is handled by another company.
