Well, it's three years later and I still haven't bought a 'scope 8-(

However, I did acquire a passable Win10 laptop, a Lenovo T400S.

Assuming I don't want to spring for a standalone scope, does anybody
have experience with either OWON or Hantek? From the online reviews
OWON seems a little better-regarded in terms of hardware. The OWON
VDS1022i is the model I had in mind, or a Hantek 6022be

One issue not raised in the original discussion on this thread was
repairability of the standalone scopes. A $100 usb scope is accepted
to be a throwaway if damaged. How fixable are the popular standalone
instruments? I'm thinking about blown front ends, failed switches 
and simply getting dropped. 

There seems to be a wide range of cheap DSOs on the market, all
from names I don't know and a few not met until yesterday:
Rigol, FNIRSI, VEVOR, HANMATEK, Hantek and SIGLENT to name a few.

Tektronix is still around, but at a price that needs justification
which I probably don't have. Too bad, I got my start on the 500 series.

Thanks for reading, and any ruminations you might have....
