    I've bought Surface Pro an Glaxy Fold both renewed through Amazon. Both fine and saved me money

    Those computers are dope. The ratio price/value is amazing. I disagree with one point : the T version of the CPU is not, per say, more energy efficient. For a fixed amount of (small) work, it will draw about the same energy. It's like to identical cars with one electronically limited to 60mph and the other 100mph. If you don't take the highway, they will consume the same amount of energy. Of course, if you take the highway, it's another story! My Optiplex 7050 with i5-7600 and 16GB of ram draws about 7w when idle for the full computer, which is nice.

    Would be interest to see what email and calendar providers you recommend. I understand you use Fantastical, is there any others?

    Which computer do you recommend for a bitcoin full node that has removable wireless connectivity? I couldn’t find a link to it in the description.

    Hey Sun, what about disabling Intel ME (the backdoor) with Coreboot on this small computer for Bitcoin stuff?

    Amazon renewed works well in India as well but luckily we still have a few computer shops here. I prefer going there since you can customise as per your preferences, but you have to inspect what you're getting to be sure that you're not being ripped off XD.

    A great place to find these machines is on eBay. I bought a number of this same exact model for a home lab cluster.

    Can all of the wireless connectivity be physically removed/disabled? Not just software switch.

    If using this for a full node are you not concenred about the x86 Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities? Why not use an arm chip computer? They’re pretty powerful these days.
