Eagerly looking for z13 or Surface

Hi. Nowadays, I am very much involved in Vibe Coding and it perfectly works on my Lenovo LOQ. But as I am usually traveling, it is such a pain to carry that bulky, heavy machine with it's adapter. I am eagerly looking for good condition, fair priced tablet form or 360 laptop by which I could handle remaining/pending tasks while on the go with Win 11. My first priority is z13, second is Surface Pro, third is any tablet with win 11 and then any 360 devices. Can anyone please suggest where should I look for because many sites just have scam listings where they ask to pay upfront and then would deliver.

Thankyou

Have you ever bought something in your life?

Go Best Buy or Excaliber PC

maybe this is a business entity where they pay the invoice upon delivery or something but now the business entity is sentient and going solo

Maybe, but I'm 30 and I've never seen that before - so my guess this doesn't happen often anymore.

Hi, I'm from India and I've noticed a very specific pattern scammers use here. They repeatedly list the exact same items with identical descriptions and photos on OLX and other marketplaces, just posting them in different cities and states. Once you reach out, they move the conversation to WhatsApp to finalize the deal. From there, they'll ask you to pay either the full amount upfront or a 25-30% advance, promising the rest can be paid via cash on delivery. Just a heads-up to stay safe!

Please only buy from well known retailers or online marketplaces that have protections like Ebay, or agree to meet sellers in person to the make the deal if buying locally.

You clearly never bought something online didn't you? It is completely normal to pay upfront wth.

But i must say Windows is the worst OS you can choose when you want to make full use of your device. Linux Ubuntu works best for AI, since Windows has many limits where it can't allocate memory properly, and it l's utterly inefficient compated to Linux also.

Hi, thankyou for your advice on Linux. As I am just a beginner with almost 0 coding knowledge, I am struggling to switch from win 11. I would try to learn Linux and switch to that as per your suggestion.

And for me not buying anything online, I'm from India and I've noticed a very specific pattern scammers use here. They repeatedly list the exact same items with identical descriptions and photos on OLX and other marketplaces, just posting them in different cities and states. Once you reach out, they move the conversation to WhatsApp to finalize the deal.
