maness300 , 5 months ago I would try to avoid any kind of brand-loyalty. Find something that meets your specifications and try it out for yourself. If it works, keep it. If it doesn't, return it. Just about every retailer has guaranteed returns for 30 days on computers. Check out https://old.reddit.com/r/LaptopDeals/ daily until you find something that meets your needs and budget.
