I am looking for a laptop and this would be it EXCEPT

I have been complaining for years that Linux doesn't have good text to speech or speech to text, and this is still the case. How many years does it take?

I keep hoping that someone will contradict me but it doesn't happen.

The best speech to text company is Nuance, which mainly does Windows. Macs have decent speech to text, I hear. Windows does, too.

Nuance even has an intriguing Android speech to text program that often works surprisingly well but doesn't have many needed features.

So, unless someone tells me something new, I will reluctantly have to go with Windows again.
