[#8296306]

Time has come to buy a new Lappy, I don't really use them but needs must.
I use an iPad Pro for 99% of my online stuff but I need a windows based machine for some work coming up.
I don't want to spend the earth - around 800 should do the trick.

I know I don't want a surface, I also don't want a Dell XPS ( I know these are a little more expensive but everyone raved about them - I can't stand the keyboard )

I'm considering the ASUS UX305UA for around 600

Any other suggestions ?

My brother recently bought a Zenbook that looked a lot like that UX305UA, seemed OK (well built, quick, decent screen) although I didn't particularly like the keyboard (but then I prefer an external keyboard if I'm doing much typing)

Recommend me a bike. Must have wheels and I don't want a Brompton.

Any requirements beyond "a laptop"?

Considering the XPS and asus are small you can probably assume that I want a small laptop.
13 ish inch. Not bothered about anything else other than decent build quality.
