I have a laptop running 24/7 in my home office along with another one I use elsewhere in the house as need be. The office one has a wireless mouse, separate monitor and keyboard, and that stuff all works well. It is getting long in the tooth now and I will probably need to replace it soon.
For @Sandman6472 's situation I would think an iPad or other tablet would be the best way to browse the web while sitting in a recliner watching TV or elsewhere around the house. I would not want to have a laptop on my knees for many hours at a time.

The dealer finally priced it; for $5k more I can get the X3 M Competition- which is two years newer and has 14k fewer miles on it.
Not a tough call.

Did go on the Chevrolet.com site last night and was unhappy to see there's no way to get the Bose infotainment system or even a Premier model for the new Bolt. Decided that with whatever I do get next, not going to get the mid model like I did the last 3 times I bought. After awhile, was always unhappy that I just didn't spend a bit more and get the SEL model on my current Golf or the EX Civic way back when. Figured I'd save a bit here & there which looking back was quite silly, the extra expense was never really that much anyways over the length of ownership anyways. So might as well get what I really want & spend a bit more! Found that out with the new Sony we bought a few months back. By getting the better model, everyone is super happy with it and we've yet to change anything on it as the picture & color is absolutely outstanding! It's bringing us much joy everyday so the extra we spent was well worth it! And with the next automobile purchase, plan on doing the same, cost be damned, no matter what I decide on.

I forgot to mention that I looked at one last weekend. I was just checking out the local Mazda dealer to see what Miatas they had on the lot (they had none) and noticed a new CX-50 in front. Selling it alongside the CX-5 still seems funny to me, as the CX-50 simply appears to be the next-gen CX-5, but regardless, it’s a very sharp looking compact SUV. Subtle changes in the proportions versus the CX-5 make it look more upscale and sleek. And the interior is a welcome update from the CX-5.
My brother, who drives a previous gen Q5, asked me about it, which is exactly what Mazda would want…catching the attention of luxury buyers. Given it breaks into the low-$40k’s loaded up, those are the buyers they’ll need. The C&D write-up did state it drove more like an XC60 than a RAV4.

The built in graphics on most newer notebooks is perfectly adequate for running two 24 inch monitors at full HD (1920x1080). If you're wanting to play shoot-em-up video games, or run 4k resolution, then you probably need to look at a notebook with an upgraded video capability.
Definitely going to make the wife go around the neighborhood with it looking for customers, to try and make some money back. I am sure she will be happy to do it!
Just realized, I might have to consider snow tires. Will wait and see how the RDX does with the all seasons and how well the roads around there get plowed.

There’s a BMW dealer near my hotel in ZRH. This is displayed on the sidewalk. I do always enjoy a good window sticker.

Thanks for letting me know you bought the snowblower. I can now call the seller to let him know where to send my check for scaring you into the purchase.
Thanks again.

I'm assuming the 15,640 line item is the VAT?

No. I think that’s options.
Interestingly, after watching Harry's Garage review of the new Lotus Emira last week I priced one out up here just for laffs. It was about that same price for a First Edition version.

Oop, you are correct.
8% VAT in Switzerland, about equal to sales tax in most of Metro Denver.

Using your Ford Pass points or whatever they’re called, I assume? They could really do a better job of marketing that the first three service visits are effectively free if you register and don’t spend the points on something else.

My CR-V oil change reminder let's me go at least 7k miles between oil changes. I do use all-synthetic, which used to be an upcharge, but that's now included as my Honda dealer's standard oil change service.
PS Of course some think an early oil change the first time is a good idea.
so partly just being cautious (in case I keep it a while!) but also because once I move I won't be going back to that dealer for an oil change, so might as well use the freebie!

Not sure what the manual says but that's the real world recommendation.
I usually have oil changed and tires rotated every 5k.

The X3 M Competition has a panoramic moonroof and an automatic transmission. I thought those two were “no go” for you?

And, no @kyfdx we did not do houses of pancakes, pancake pantries, or pancake worlds haha.
Before I got 'retired' after 25 years at the company I used to work for, I got asked to work on a team of Russians and Ukrainian software devs.
The VP said we don't know what they do and we want you find out what it is.
I said I'd go to the team but I wouldn't spy on them.
When I got assigned, I told them the company wanted me to spy on them but I wouldn't do it.
After that, we got along great and it turned out they were super team oriented and very dedicated.
The stuff they wrote was pretty obtuse and although I supported it for many many years, and a lot of times I felt like I was sticking my head into the mouth of a lion, I always managed to keep it attached to the rest of me.

The X3 M isn't a track car- an M2C is. I've come to the point where a well-designed automatic or DCT doesn't bother me too much as long as it augments the performance of the car; anyway, I have a few other cars in the garage that keep my left foot in practice.

Anything is possible, but I doubt they are in the rental fleets. All other trims get 280 HP.

I agree. Unless the chips they will be keeping have capabilities far greater than what they are using them for now; and if that’s the case why didn’t they use that capability before. Nope, if any industry tries to keep the number of parts to a minimum because of the initial cost of that item and then what it takes in the manufacturing process (time and additional peripherals like wiring harnesses and the like) it’s the auto industry.
There has to be more to this than what is being said.

I think using less chips and more multitasking (for lack of a better word) could lead to some extremely costly replacement parts later on.
