FUJITSU SIEMENS AMILO LI 1818 (Old Laptop)
MEDION AKOYA P7360 D (MD 8855) A-UK (Old Desktop PC)
ASUS X200CA (Notebook I have my eye on)
Ideally I want a Surface Pro or SPro2, but the price of gen 1 SPro+TypeCover combo hasn't come-down enough (ranges from £600-£750) and even the gen 2 SPro without a keyboard is just completely out of my ball park (£700-£1,039); so I'm somewhat forced to look around at different Win8/8.1 laptops/tablets/hybrids.
I have 2 machine specs in mind. One an old laptop that can hardly play any games. Another an old desktop which played most games I threw it's way, on at least normal settings. Being a 'notebook' and having dual-core/shared graphics, I suspect this ASUS X200CA will be completely underpowered, but I half-had it in mind because I like the form factor and the cheap price at £300. Probably wouldn't like to buy a machine to buy a more powerful one later, but I just don't know where to begin looking...
Hopefully someone will be able to tell me confirm/deny the X200CA as being good or bad right off the bat, and possibly give me an idea of what machines fit my needs.
