I have a 5 year old Asus laptop. Once of those with 11.6 inch monitor. It is very small and the battery lasts a long time.
I don't use it for anything serious. Primarily I watch video on the plane with it, occasion google search and use it to transfer photos from my camera (memory card) to an external harddrive when I am on a photo trip.
It has 2gb ram and 32gb emmc. I had a hell of a time to upgrade to Windows 10 from 8. Once I was in 10, it had some problems updating initially (not enough space). But then it went away and the update doesn't seem to report any problem. The last update took a long time and then when it's done, it reported that "scanning drive C for repair". It seems to work fine now except every program I launched took a while to load initially. It looked look it has to be initiated.
I am not comfortable having Windows automatically updating this little toy. Should I turn off the updating to let it run its course till it dies. I am not concerned with security that much. There is no hardware upgrade for this, the last time I checked.
Appreciate your opinion and suggestion.
