at uni I got a laptop, it was the cheapest 2 in 1 tablet laptop thing. it was ok but did like it, so next month I returned it and got one that was 200£ more expensive, wasn't satisfied either, so next month I did the same.

I did it like 4 times until I ended with a surface 2. which served me though my degree.

I'm curious how long I could have done that

although for practical purposes, it would only work with Chromebooks, as installing and setting up every month is a bit of a pain.
