If SaaS brands were honest -

Slack: Clutter your brain, not your inbox.

Notion: Organize everything, get nothing done.

Zoom: Meetings that should have been emails.

SurveyMonkey: Ask questions, regret the answers.

Dropbox: Store files you'll never look at again.

Help me choose a new laptop please.

I currently have a Dell XPS 13 i7 - it's light and well built but it gets noisy, the screen is a bit too small and it only has 2x usb-c ports.

I'm after:

- 14" screen
- Decent amount of ports.
- Under 1.5kg
- No touchscreen.
- Windows.

New or refurbished.
