 I’ve used a Dell Latitude E7450 since about 2016, and while it’s not the most capable,[^capable] it has been lovely. The keyboard is perfect in layout, and the trackpad with separate buttons is really nice for 2-hand navigation. Aside from blackscreening issues that resurface every few months, and pretty concerning thermal instability, this laptop’s fulfilled my needs just fine.[^fulfil-needs] In fact, I’d be happy continuing to use it for a little longer ...if not for its rapidly degrading battery life. Oh, and also, it can’t seem connect to WiFi if it’s more than an arm’s length away from the router. Yeah, that’s a bit of an issue. Just a bit.

 This sounded almost too good to be true. So of course, I should’ve expected that my 2 laptops totally could not find each other on the network. They could all see our router, the printer, even the Chromecast we hadn’t used in years. But not each other.
