lmao, crippled laptop? This laptop can do far more than an ipad can because Apple limits ipads to iOS, which is extremely limiting. My older mother tries to do all her stuff on an ipad and about once a week she runs into a problem, poorly designed websites dont display their forms right, she needs to digitally sign a document on a website that doesnt load on iOS, she cant find an identical app equivalent to the software she uses on laptop, etc. After confirming the issue isnt with her poor tech skills, I have to tell her to pull out her laptop and do it there.
An ipad as an only device isnt practical at all.

This laptop will do everything you want, as long as its not gaming or heavy productivity work.
I've been extremely happy with the one I got on a previous deal. The screen is gorgeous. I bought it for someone who does very basic tasks like emailing, Excel, YouTube, so I wasn't too concerned by there only being 8GB of memory.
Also available from BB via eBay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/325333918411

For those who are interested, I bought 3 units of this when it was $500 in Jul last year. One of them cannot power up after using for around 6 months. Sent it back to ASUS to check, there is problem with the RAM. Since it's soldered, motherboard replacement was required.....


Zenbook usually has better build quality and designs.

EDIT:
I think I would try to avoid buying laptop with soldered RAM in the future (even if it has an empty SODIMM slot)

Can someone confirm for me? Open Box doesn't come with the 1 year warranty? Is it the same for Best Buy certified?

You can pick up OLED screens from amazon. 1080P ones are fairly cheap, 4k ones are somewhat expensive.
