" Nothing worse than driving a ten year old car with outdated technology,"

Correction.. Nothing worse than driving a ten year old car with outdated technology, that started out with crap technology.

10 year old BMW X3 base model... The tech in this thing is still 3 years ahead of anything in a 2015 ford/gm/chrysler.

I can fin a lot of reasons that landscape is more useful. How about monitors not sucking and have the ability to rotate easily when needed AND have the polarizer wide enough that you dont get the wierd visual effects when you turn an LCD sideways.... I.E. cheap and crap monitors from AOC and LG.

my portable USB AOC monitor is useless when in portrait.. it has just enough of a contrast difference between my left and right eye in that mode to be distracting as hell.

I sold mine via ebay 5 weeks ago, and a friends with the super uber matte screen for $50 more 2 months ago. both were 4 year old with the dual core i7, Snagged me a nice like new but used quad core i7 15" from 2012 for $999.

www.ebay.com and www.craigslist.com just keep searching and you will find them. Although right now is not the best time to shop for one, right after Xmas there will be a used price drop as everyone that got a new laptop for Xmas will offload their old one. So wait for 3 weeks.

Yes you can. Used i5's are affordable. Just go buy a used one. and unless you are buying $299-$599 bottom of the barrel laptops $899 is right in line with dell for a laptop.

Heck for what you are doing with adobe software you can buy a used 4 years old 17 " macbook with an i7 dual core for under $800. and it will do everything you need with a 1920X1200 screen.
