Some of the top-of-the-line laptops now come with a solid state hard drive, but the capacity is usually far less than 1 TB, which would not be enough for me. The old type hard drives work just fine. A Chromebook may be good for surfing the Web, but it won't replace a desktop.

Just keep in mind that it will be a very heavy laptop. And run very hot which, if you actually hold it on your lap, can be a problem. They are basically a desktop crammed into a laptop, which makes them good for memory and speed. I used HP 16 or 17" laptop to work from home and while away. It was very heavy. I think I went through two of them quite quickly. Back in 2000-2010, the mechanical functions of HPs did not last long.
PS: I loooooooooved both of mine. If only they didn't wear out physically so easily. Maybe it's different now. But I am afraid to buy HPs now.
