Hard Core Shopping: Best Laptop Buy For The Buck SSD ?
14" is fine as long as the downsizing buys performance or quality. Yep, I'm a novice. No gaming. Internet mostly.

Solid state storage sounded great until I read comments that claimed I would be fortunate to get 2 years lifespan out of anything less than top flagship grade models. Your thoughts?
In the early days of SSD there were some problems.
However, those problems are history.
At the time, new SSD machines and software vendors did not have their act together - resulting in bricks.
You will never need an i7 machine. i5 machines will work for you probably forever. (based on the limited "need" information that you've provided)
Printer: Yes! Be aware. Some Chromebooks and tablets may not have a USB port. (My Android tablet has one USB - and I can download apps to the machine - not on the cloud stuff).
All newer machines are zippy.
More USB: The not-so-Universal Serial Bus has morphed.
The USB port styles now vary. USB 2, USB 3 and USB Type-C
Newer machines may differ from what you're used to.
Faster and faster they are.
