I seriously considered a Surface Pro to replace both my desktop and laptop, both 6 yo. Instead, I found a great laptop for $600 cheaper. To be fair, I did give up the SSD (which saved a couple hundred maybe) for the capacity of a spinner. Oh, and it has a proper cover/hinge!

These two things never go together. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

and it is still only accurate to -2 to +4 seconds, per day! For that money I want an atomic clock!
|

You can get one for about $100.
A watch that synchronises itself to the radio signal broadcast by the various atomic clocks of the world.
A small desktop version can be had for under $30.

Yes, that is the poncey version that only a girlie-man would wear.

Totally agree!

|

But with a Rolex people know you have more money than sense. They won't with a Seiko.

I did.
About 20 years ago I won £1,500 and so bought myself a Rolex Oyster Date. Apart from the times its been serviced I've worn it every day since and only take it off if I'm doing particularly mucky work such as working on the old car.

It's the servicing cost that's the killer!
What is it now, about £400 every three years?
I know they raised the price from £250 a few years back.

My last service was a few years back and cost £300. I've had it serviced twice so far, maybe get another one in a few years. Every 3-4 years is too much.
