Liquid, water, tea spill on a laptop Keyboard - solution !
If you have spilled water on your laptop keyboard, here is a simple way to get it sorted out. You will need a couple tools :
Screwdrivers to be able to remove your keyboard
Isopropyl alcohol 50 % to 70% Isopropyl alcohol
Lamp
Time and patience
1. Turn off computer by holding down the power button until it shuts off.( I am sure you are have already done so if you are reading this...)
2. Place paper towel on keyboard. Close lid. Remove power cable and battery.
3. leave upside down for a little while. The liquid will thus not flow into the computer.
4. See what can flow out had flowed out.
5. If required, consult manual to remove keyboard.
6. Remove keyboard, wash it under the tap.
7. Let excess water drip out by tilting on angles. Shaking may also work.
8. Pour enough Isopropyl alcohol to make the whole keyboard wet.
9. Allow to flow into the keyboard for few minutes, then shake, tilt the keyboard to remove the excess alcohol.
10. A lamp is used to generate head and make the keyboard dry. Make key side face the table and thus the back with aluminum face up. Allow to rest like such for 10-12 hours. (I used a 50W Halogen bulb at about 15cm away.
11. If possible, remove the caps of a few keys to see if the rubber dome does not have liquid inside. If so allow to dry further.
12. Once reasonably dry, put back in laptop and test. You may want to not put all the screws back until it is working. Wait a few more days before ordering a new keyboard if the above instructions did no work.

Drive space is overrated
I welcome SSDs - not only because they are quiet, but also because they consume less power.
What is the logic behind computers? Is
What most people like to have on a hard drive :
Office Suite
Specialized program ( AutoCAD, AvidExpress, Photoshop/GIMP, Nvivo, Cakewalk/Sonar, etc.)
Skype
and a few others.
Really most of this will almost always fit well in 32-64GB hard drive.
I hate wasting my time managing drive space, but now external hard drives are so cheap, that the "storage" function can be altogether eliminated from the main part of the computer.

- faster is better,

Beater Laptop
Ok, if you want to play 1080p on it, you must make sure that the screen can acutally support it. If it is a beater laptop, you must think that the machine will be carried around, but when you actually have to work with it, the keyboard will not be too small nor the screen too restrictive.
As a cyclist weight is my concern, so is size, but getting a secondhand laptop I would opt for one that has a) high screen b) trackpoint c) easy enough to find parts.
The options may seem limitless, but I think that one is best to look at Thinkpads, Dell Business ( Precision ) some HPs.
Unfortunately, the trackpoint is not the same from one system to another. In fact the Dell trackpoint does not have a middle button, so no scroll or tab close in your browser. The middle button can be emulated via the touchpad using both buttons!
