I've been a build-my-own guy for quite some time

My family got a Dell Inspiron 15 against my suggestion for a super-light laptop. I was right, so they gave it to me!

I don't think a desktop makes much sense anymore unless you have a large space with a gazzilion peripherals to attach (like we do actually, so a desktop is appropriate).

Actually, the powerful laptop makes a lot of sense, so for $750, I got an i7 with a 1 TB hard drive. The screen is very usable, battery life sucks completely, but who cares, just keep it hooked up to AC.

Then if you need to work in a different space, it is ready to go.

Yes, Windows 10 is OK.
