I like the price of your home one a whole lot better Any drawbacks with it versus the pricier one?

It is. When I travel, I like the convenience of simply pushing one button to take the computer which I use all by itself while traveling. And I like even more not having to re-connect several cords when I return.

That said, The x280 does have a dock available.
Which looks very nice. And VERY pricey.

The only exception would be RDP... and those would be specific scenarios which you've already worked around since you use Chrome Remote Desktop.
It may be moot as the X280 I'm looking at has 10Pro. And, no, I'm not in the legal profession, just vastly prefer WordPerfect (which is so much less bloaty than Word -- even running Word, as I do, with the uBitMenu plugin that makes recent versions of Word revert to the Office 2003 interface )

Of course to some extent -- but not totally; there are just some things that WP does easily that Word doesn't, plus my word processing needs are way simpler than Word thinks they are -- this is a Piper versus Cessna argument: It's what you learned to fly on that continues to commend itself to you
