Thx all, ended up with this one and it appears to touch all the bases, and with a GPS dongle will allow Google earth and similar programs to find me allowing scouting in remote areas.

Sorry to sound like a snob, but I "underwhelmed" by your choice. With only 2 cores and a 1366x768 display, I would only classify this as an entry level machine.
It might be fine for you, but not for me !
It came in, it appears to be running everything fine. The 8 gigs of Ram make it seem fast to me.
I made the mistake of saying what I would be using it for, and everyone seemed to go much farther into the high end machines than I needed.
Loaded two games they play quickly and cleanly, have just started researching basic video editing, don't know that I will need it but got the touchscreen for that purpose (along with my aging eyes) which I assume is what forced the resolution level to 1366x768, it's still as good or better than I can see.
Using google earth with the touchscreen also is something I wanted after becoming used to using it with an android tablet. and the bigger screen does help with that.
So for now, I'm happy with it.
